Chill on the Bush-cried-wolf metaphor

Before any more writers compare President Bush to the Boy Who Cried Wolf, you oughta Google "bush cried wolf" because you'll get 638,000 links. Type "gore cried wolf" and you get only 244,000.

Does that mean Gore is less of a liar than Bush? No. It means Bush is President and Gore isn't, so Bush gets more attention, wolf-link-wise.

It is important to remember they are both liars.

That, and writers should just stop with the Bush-cried-wolf-metaphor because it's been used already.
