Pulled his head and legs
Hi.
"McConnell is having a grand snit. The Dems took away his ability to blindly and capriciously oppose all Obama nominations, and he has just pulled his head and legs in and is refusing to eat his lettuce." [From The Guardian readers' forum.]
What does the metaphor he has just pulled his head and legs in and is refusing to eat his lettuce mean in the context?
Thank you.
