Alexander Cockburn is not, shall we say, the soundest of sources, but this comment of his is too good not to repeat:

“Gray Davis…now proclaims that he is going to fight ‘like a Bengal tiger.’ It takes one to know one. Bengal tigers like to hang out near some village and eat small cows, fearing even the stately water buffalo. When its teeth go bad the Bengal tiger gives up on the cows and starts attacking elderly, defenseless humans.”
