One of my favorite political analogies -- while not so crazy -- was Colin Powell's gem as quoted by Bob Woodward, warning President Bush that invading Iraq would produce a “Pottery Barn rule -- you break it, you own it.” (Although Pottery Barn vehemently denied such a rule exists.)

Of course there was the whole Republican spin machine a few weeks ago: "These wildfires are Obama's Katrina."
