2008

Dem candidate Mike Gravel explains his video ad.

"It's a metaphor," said Gravel of his "Rock" video. "You get a fixation of a thought you want to have, something you want to do, and you go do it. ... the ripples, the ripples -- it's a metaphor, George. The ripples show the effect, and then you march off into the horizon."

I didn't give it much thought, but I'm pretty sure that explanation wouldn't have been near the top of my list of explanations for Gravel's rock tossing video. My first impression (which wasn't just immediate) was that he was showing disdain for something; maybe throwing out the weight of the current mess we're in. His metaphor might have worked better with a pebble, as opposed to a heavy rock.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
