Hard to believe, but every word is true

After reading this, I went to "legitimate" news sites and confirmed it all. At face value, it's extremely sad... on a metaphorical level, it's spine chillingly spoooooooky.

From Wonkette.com:

".. WHERE TO BEGIN:
Hillary Clinton's pick to win horse racing's Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles — the only female horse in the race — finished second, broke both front ankles, and subsequently was put to death on the track. The first place horse was 'Big Brown.' Go nuts."

From the commenters on Wonkette:

This is only a test. If this had been an actual Hillary metaphor, Eight Belles, after breaking both ankles and being euthanized, would've gotten up again and started stumbling around the track some more."

This analogy doesn't work, because Barry's horse is a unicorn named Dreamsicle, and Walnuts bet the ranch on a charioteer named Spartacus. "

There once was a filly Eight Belles,
To which Hillz supported all-tells
Had to go down
Right on the ground
Let's shift the focus to lapels"

nice limerick amygdala...I was thinking of doing a haiku (as I am oft to do...)

Sad day at derby
gluey end for belle but wait
portends well dark horse.

So, Choolie,
Metaphorically speaking is Obama "Big Brown"?
