Nice imagery

I’ve seen this vaguely scatological line included in several articles from New Hampshire and Iowa on John Kerry’s current stump speech. Is this the best Senator Splunge can do? From the Portsmouth Herald:

Kerry also criticized what is called the "trickle down" economy of the Bush administration, claiming that it brings money only to those who already have it.
"The reason we call the rich, rich is because they already have the money," he said, and the crowd laughed. "As I crisscross this state, most of the average Americans that work are just plain tired of being trickled on."

And the crowd winced.
