Pachyderm in peril?
With the economy headed south, the Iraq war a "mistake" in the popular and elitist conception, the incumbent president without friends, and a probable Democratic nominee that is still a strong candidate notwithstanding his inability, so far, to deliver a knock-out blow to the erstwhile presumptive nominee, the Republicans could have a very tough go of it this fall. I hope that this picture does not turn out to be a metaphor for our political times, but I fear that it will:
Either that, or it is just a great picture of an elephant under water.

It's just "a great picture of an elephant under water."
From Oxford University this week: "An ancient relative of today’s elephants lived in water, a team led by an Oxford University scientist has found."

Well, to extend upon the metaphor, what you have here is a classic example of how elephants can sneak up on you. Never underestimate their snorkeling ability.

Dude, it's called a snorkel. What, you thought the trunk was just for picking up peanuts?
