I would have said the same thing, except i wouldn't have said 'drawer' and i wouldn't have said 'diamonds'

In yesterday's press briefing, a "reporter", Barbara Walters maybe, asked Tony Snow what his fave part of the SOTU was, and he said:

"You know, it's difficult to say. It's like looking in a drawer full of diamonds".

I've been rolling that around in my brainpan for awhile now:
like looking in a drawer full of diamonds.
I picture Snow rocking on a porch swing, drinking a lemonade:
"...and when that man speechified, it was lookin' in a drawer full o'diamonds, is what it was like..."

I wondered what my reaction would be if I opened a drawer to find it was full of diamonds. Hmmm,

"What the hell is that doing here? That can't be right. I should probably call the cops".

Okay, yeah. I'll go with "drawer full of diamonds" too.

*UPDATE: Apparently, Snow inadvertently made a very apt literary reference with his choice of words.

I dunno... might be a fun game. It's like looking in a _____________ full of _____________. How many variations can you come up with?

I'm not going to watch the SOTU tonight. I can't watch ole W without wanting to throw whatever's in my hands at the tv.
