Lost in Translation

The Globe’s political coverage takes a turn for the lyrical, as
Peter Canellos whips up some wacky images in a review of the convoluted
rhetoric concerning
foreign policy flying around the campaign, and the difficulty in parsing
political pronouncements and off-the-cuff remarks:

Foreign policy has been hidden, twisted, and reduced to slogans in
American presidential campaigns for so long that it makes the discussion
of
domestic issues seem, in contrast, a model of truth in packaging.
Like a chess player dressed in football gear, Bush seems to be preparing
for both a high-minded discussion and a low-minded scrimmage.
