't Was me niet opgevallen maar in de VS wordt de verkiezingsstrijd tussen Bush en Kerry omschreven als dammen tegen schaken.
"we take this metaphor as something of an insult to checkers players. The game is far more complicated than most people think, and American checkers legend Marion Tinsley certainly deserves better than to be grouped with a man who cannot pronounce "nuclear." We've always thought of George W as a tic-tac-toe man for sure"
