Basic Do?s and Don?ts of Pearl Harbor Comparisons

DO compare the effect of September?s rapid-fire failings of several major financial institutions on the U.S. economy to the attack on Pearl Harbor if you are a widely respected economic guru with a penchant for groundbreaking philanthropy and grandfatherly musings.

DON?T compare the effect of your federal corruption indictment on your family to the attack on Pearl Harbor if you are a widely disliked governor whose defense team is fragmenting as you face impeachment for allegedly using your position for personal financial gain and underhanded censorship.
