I know SWAK and SWALK, but in the below what does "seal with a kiss" mean/
Lieberman Hopes His Fate Isn’t Sealed With a Kiss
WASHINGTON, July 15 — On his increasingly difficult path to re-election, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman keeps getting kissed. And not lovingly.

It's a play on 2 phrases:
his fate is sealed
and
sealed with a kiss
Because the word sealed appears in both phrases, and the outcome (fate) of Lieberman's senatorial campaign may be already determined (sealed) because of a kiss from George Bush, the headline writer combined the phrases. |
