Wear Tom Now
"The sharks are circling again,"
says the
announcer, his voice hovering slightly north of panic. "The liberals,
the media... they're in a frenzy." A nasty-ass shark swims straight towards
the camera, threatening to bite right into it with those pearly whites.
'Last year the sharks went after President Bush' is superimposed on the
screen. Wow. He must have been terrified.
"They even attacked him with a
counterfeit story on the national news. But the sharks missed him." Okay, I
get it. This is a metaphor, isn't it? Cause, like, otherwise they would have
attacked him with something more substantial. Wonder what the sharks will do
next. "Now the sharks are after Tom Delay." Run Tom, run! We see those teeth
again, close up, and learn that Tom is a supporter of the free market
system. And finally we're admonished to "remember what the sharks tried to
do to President Bush. Don't let them take a bite out of Tom Delay."
It's that last line that breaks
me up - "Don't let them take a bite out of Tom Delay". You would think that
Washington lobbying group 'The
Free Enterprise Fund' would drop their metaphor about now and say
something like "write your congressman", but no, it's "Don't let them take a
bite out of Tom Delay".
That's why you should help save
the boy's ass by
buying a Tom Delay t-shirt. Because, uh, the TV show 'Law & Order' hurt
Tom's feelings with their smart-ass crack about "putting out an APB for
anyone wearing a Tom Delay t-shirt," but that wasn't really an attack on
Delay, it was an attack on "lower taxes, greater personal freedom, smaller
government and the creation of a safe and secure retirement system."
In addition, if everyone is
wearing Tom Delay t-shirts, it makes it harder for the cops to locate the
real Tom Delay in a round up.
All Tom Delay t-shirts are 100%
combed cotton picked from the world renowned riverbanks of Nigeria by highly
compensated cotton pickers who unlike those sharks believe fully in the free
market system - hellfire, they're part of it, an important part, too, don't
you get any funny ideas now - shirts come in either TomSoul black or fully
transparent - you'll need to wear another t-shirt under that if you're
wearing it to the office, ladies - sizes come in large, extra large, and
grandiose. All our shirts are equipped with double stitched sleeves that
