"But, because political campaigns occasionally can be wonderful bathyspheres to your soul’s dark abyss, we are learning that Moore’s is plenty deep and plenty dark."
Metaphor in Context
In case you missed it, Judge Roy Moore, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, and who will be on the ballot on both the Republican and Deuteronomic lines, as I understand it, is pretty much as bad as you always thought he was. Of course, when you are your state’s chief justice and you get fired twice for ignoring the law, well, people will think you’re pretty damn bad. But, because political campaigns occasionally can be wonderful bathyspheres to your soul’s dark abyss, we are learning that Moore’s is plenty deep and plenty dark.
