Framing: "Hail Maliki Pass"

From an AP story comes news of this inspired characterization of the "surge":

As Rice testified to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., likened Bush's plan to a "hail Maliki pass",  jokingly combining Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's name with the football "Hail Mary" desperation pass.

That's priceless, Congressman Berman. Let's give it all the legs we can.
