A Knife Fight in a Phone Booth

I was watching something on TV, and I accidentally switched to Fox News, which was covering in great detail the results of the Super Tuesday Primary for the Republican nomination for president. So they apparently had all the results for every state except for one, which they said would be “a knife fight in a phone booth”. Um, if that’s the case, then it’s no wonder people think Republicans are out of touch.

Seriously, Republicans are constantly advocating for gun rights, but they’re still engaging in knife fights? How about buying a gun? And really: in a phone booth? Is there even such a thing as a phone booth anymore? I thought everyone had a smartphone by now! Plus, stabbing someone in such a tight, confined space will leave all kinds of trace evidence behind, and they’ll get caught. Or so I hear.

People say the Republicans are behind the times, and then they go and do something like this: have a West Side Story-type altercation in an anachronous device like a phone booth (!). Why not just wear powdered wigs and get it over with? If they’re going to be this obvious about it, then why not just flaunt it?
