I'd like to propose a contest of our own: the Isabel Sawhill

or wash of metaphors which impresses in the manner of the following
example from Sawhill, "a budget expert at the Brookings
Institute" (also probably a very nice person who was just trying to
say something quotable under pressure of deadline),
"The fear is if we just let the economy continue to be a big hole,
that in itself will balloon the deficit, because revenues are just
anemic right now."
Does the following from The (Manchester) Guardian Weekly's website
qualify?
http://www.guardianweekly.co.uk/21stcenturylife
Headline: "India: credit crunch rocks diamond workers"
Sub-header: "21st century life: The worldwide recession has decimated
India's diamond industry to its knees."
