Sean Penn, Colbert have 'metaphor-off' showdown
On Thursday night, Comedy Central's faux pundit staged a "metaphor-off" showdown with actor Sean Penn, that was moderated by former US poet laureate Robert Pinsky.
"Penn trailed 1-0 going to the final round, as he kept ending every metaphor by quoting from his recent antiwar reference to President Bush's 'soiled and bloodstained underwear,'" Editor and Publisher reported.
"But the final challenge was to provide the metaphor for a picture of President Bush -- standing in bloodstained underwear," the report continued. "Colbert was stumped while Penn said something about going to war on false pretenses -- for which he received 10,000,000 points and an easy win."
