[nfbwatlk] What do you think about this?

It's a horrible metaphor, as most blindness metaphors generally are.  I
remember when the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred.  One of the
people in charge of the nation's nuclear power commented on their lack of
organization and deep confusion. He said they were all like a bunch of blind
men stumbling around.  That statement earned him the "quote of the week"
from Time Magazine.

Hi all, I'm just reading my weekly edition of Syndicated Columnists Weekly.
The article that I was reading is the Republican Brain Drain by Richard
Cohen.  My comment is not the whole article, just a sentence of it.  Here is
that sentence, and please don't get hung up on the Romney part, that's not
my point.  
This sentence is my point: He is his party's nominee because, like the
one-eyed man in the valley of the blind, he is just the best of the worst.
Okay, you may say well, he's using the word blind as a metaphor, but I'm not
sure I see it that way.  
Wondering what you all think.
