A Freddie Mac Attack?

Oh, CNN, you guys are so clever! In discussing the recent Freddie Mac issues facing Newt Gingrich, CNN had a lower third that read: “Freddy Mac Attacks”. Um, hello: why didn’t you call it a “Big Freddy Mac Attack”? That way everyone would have thought of the old “Big Mac Attack” McDonald’s ads for sure! And then, whenever Newt made his counter-attack on Mitt Romney, you guys could have called it “A Whopper of an Attack”! And then the next attack could be called “The Baconator”! And then you could have continued using fast-food item name metaphors for the whole rest of the election season, and we’d all be entertained with all the bad puns (like saying you're going to reveal some "juicy McNuggets of information", or claiming a candidate was "McRibbing" one of their competitors in a debate) rather than being bored silly like we all are. Do you guys need a new writer? Is that it?
