On this day in 1979, President Jimmah Carter was savagely attacked by a rabbit while fishing in Plains, Georgia, spawning one of the most apropos political metaphors of recent history.

Just thought you'd appreciate the reminder.

There used to be a folkie in the Chicago area named Linda Black. She wrote a song about this, I think it was to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies, and the chorus went:

I don't want a wittle bunny in my wittle row boat
In my wittle row boat in the pond
'Cause the bunny might be rabid and he'll bite me in the fwoat
In my wittle row boat in the pond.

I wish I could remember the rest, but it's been almost 20 years.

What, no Python sketch? ("Where, behind the Rabbit?" "It IS the rabbit!...")
