The Onion and Tom Delay

The most recent (paper) issue of The Onion included a small opinion box with the question:

"In recent weeks, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has come under increasing fire from a number of important media and political figures. What do you think?"

To which the first person, Colleen Bowers, Systems Analyst, replies: "I heard Tom DeLay's blood was in the water and the sharks were circling him, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a metaphor."
