Worst DNA Metaphor Ever, Part II
"When people see [Bill and Hillary Clinton] together, she suffers by comparison even if he says nothing," says Rutgers political scientist Ross Baker. "One of the things that the Iowa caucuses demonstrated is that the DNA of political genius is not easily spliced into someone else's genetics." (Quote from this article.)
Curse you, Ross Baker!
P.S. If you're going to insist on making dumb DNA analogies, at least get the terminology right: it should be "spliced into someone else's genes," not "spliced into someone else's genetics."
