That a man's speech should exceed his grasp, or what's a metaphor?

I do understand that every day over there is like walking up a mountain with bricks in your backpack, and when something starts the beasts not just growling but flinging themselves against their cages, I feel bad about that, and it's not a good day for him.

-- Mary Matalin quoted in yesterday's NYT on the trials and tribulations of being White House press sec'ty Scott McClellan

Being the press spokesman for an administration whose whole existence is based on lying and cheating? Yeah, that must suck. Being one of the reporters who has to deal with him? That must be worse.
