Captain to Captain . . .

A nice nod today from Captain Ed over at Captain’s Quarters, who paraphrases me on the sensitive balance between butt-kissing and brown-nosing. His paraphrase is close, but I was just a tad more delicate --

“The difference between butt-kissing and brown-nosing is simply a matter of depth perception.”

Captain Ed is tad more graphic, but puts the metaphor to good use to examine the hole in the Washington Post’s Mark Leibovich’s obfuscation of the actual location of where Howard Dean’s head is at. The Captain’s contention -- Mr. Leibovich may need his eyesight checked.
