The Onion is an equal opportunity newspaper, they make fun of everyone equally. And it's never meant to be aggressive or hurtful to anyone.

As you all said to me, can't you take a joke?? This is a non-threatening joke and if people want to get their panties in a wad then go ahead...

The Onion has been and will continue to be one of the shining lights in american humor and they have never considered anything to be "off limits".
Chill out folks and laugh a little. I'm sure some of your favorite targets have been skewered on those pages!

I hope this is a joke. I cant believe this article.

Clinton says, "try your best and have fun"? Classic!

General Merrit says, "they are going to the bathroom, proir to ground assaults. This group is ready!" Hahahaha!

Madeline Albright, well she is just plain stupid. Too many dumb things to list.

I hope its a joke, but it doesnt look like one to me.

Come on Mag, of course it's a joke. Just read some of their other work such as .....

God Quietly Phasing Holy Ghost Out Of Trinity

HEAVEN—Calling the Holy Trinity "overstaffed and over
budget," God announced plans Monday to downsize the
group by slowly phasing out the Holy Ghost. "Given the
poor economic climate and the unclear nature of the Holy
Ghost's duties, I felt this was a sensible and necessary
decision," God said. "The Holy Ghost will be given fewer
and fewer responsibilities until His formal resignation from
Trinity duty following Easter services on April 20.
Thereafter, the Father and the Son shall be referred to as
the Holy Duo."

or...........ORANGE ALERT SIRENS TO BLARE 24 HOURS A DAY.

WASHINGTON, DC—As an additional reminder that the U.S. is on high alert for terrorist attacks,
Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge announced Tuesday that Orange Alert klaxons will blare 24
hours a day in all major cities.
