I'm up to my asterisk.........?
"I'm up to my asterisk in political quicksand."
This is a line in a TV series, the Mentalist(season 2, episode 3),
and I want to know what it means.
The situation is this :
There are two police officers. (Let's just say they're A and B)
One day B's fingerprints are found on a murder weapon, so she becomes the suspect.
Of course A, her boss, is in big trouble and says to A "I'm up to my asterisk in political quicksand."
Thank you in advance.
