From his May 16th column:
[Duceppe's] toast, of course.... Trailing blood....
...which just goes to show that Canada's premiere Conservative commentator--"the Conservative with math skills", as we Liberals call him--still has difficulty distinguishing between animal, vegetable, and mineral.
(note: technically bread is made from dough and dough is made from grains and grains are a type of fruit and fruits are a type of vegetable)

I don't think he mangled the metaphor...he failed to carry the metaphor through, but "being toast" isn't a particularly rich metaphor to work with anyway.
I don't blame Coyne; he's been surrounded by rightwingers for the last while, and his brain has turned to jello in the desperate attempt to reformulate their inanity to represent actual insight and coherence.
Nit picking isn't it? He got his message across.
Yeah..."message"...another grand prognostication a pundit makes at great risk to credibility, and which he or she will tearfully retract once it's proved to be way off base.
you are BORING.
Since you have failed as a writer, do you feel the need to bang on those who are successful ?
very petty, but then, you are a self professed Liberal. Comes with the turf.
Nit picking is right.....another day, another agenda....
The liberal party is yesterday's party......

I'm on vacation. Bite me.

I don't think Coyne's success is related to his writing skills. As this post suggests, he's a bad writer.
He's not the worst writer in the world, but he is very dull and humourless.
Now stop trolling, Kate.
Anon 12:06 - don't get so smug - the "times they are a changin".
I feel a Liberal revival happening!
Actually, I believe there will soon be a flip of the Coyne. time to google
cbc-n-ya
for the straight stuff
So what are most Liberals? Vegetables or fruit? Or both?
Liberal revival - that's the funniest thing I've read this week!
