Do the Geneva Conventions address the torturing of metaphors?

Speaking of the debt ceiling events of last night and this morning, freshman member of Congress Steve Womack said this:

“It’s a locker room of team members that are trying to re-huddle. We had to burn a timeout last night. We’ve had to check to a new play, and while I personally don’t think the potential outcome of the new play is as good as we could have had yesterday, we just didn’t have enough players on the field.”

Despite the frustration, however, Womack describes House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) as a “great coach” who is “doing what is necessary to keep his team together.”
