You got it, ferret-face
Oklahoman sportswriter Berry Tramel drops all the metaphors into the blender for this one:
Seattle mayor Greg Nickels responded to the NBA’s vote Friday by pointing out that his city’s metropolitan economy is “larger than the entire state of Oklahoma’s.”
Which is completely accurate and entirely beside the point. It reminded me of a scene from M*A*S*H, when Hawkeye tells someone he’s from Crabapple Cove, Maine, population whatever, and Frank Burns pipes up, “Fort Wayne’s bigger than that.”
Yes, Seattle is glorious and huge, but compare Seattle’s Frank Burns to OKC mayor Mick Cornett, then tell me which city is Hooterville.
Neither Margaret Houlihan nor Oliver Wendell Douglas was available for comment.
