It's like you're a fashion model who gained 300 pounds since we hired you but you want to be rehired because you lost 30.

2. Great Analogy!
Just a great analogy; I love it!!!

When I read the "300 lb. model" part, I immediately thought of the fat suit worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shallow Hal"! Would thirty pounds off that figure really make much difference? I don't think so!

Score a big 3-point basket for the good guys!

Go Kerry!
Beat the Shrub!

3. Brilliant !!!!
But how could it be delivered… people might think that it being a “model” and associating that with being a female was sexist and weightiest (yeah PC can go on to being weightist) … but it would be great somehow brought into a stump speech… if Edwards is the VP and I am really hoping he is he could do wonders with it…
