Mixed metaphors of the month

Professor Stephen Bainbridge has the grace to be self-conscious about his opening line:
Before we all decide to roll over and play dead as the John McCain train leaves the station (boy those are some mixed metaphors)
but then, God help us, he comes out with this, without batting an eyelid:
It produced a foreign policy quagmire that eviscerated any opportunity to advance the conservative agenda at home, as I've complained in more detail elsewhere.
You gotta watch those quagmires. They'll slit you up a treat.
