Love the Drake

Chinese lacking sense of humor

The Beijing Evening News published a story based on The Onion article about Congress threatening to leave D.C. unless they get a new retractable dome capitol building. The newspaper even printed the graphic from the Onion.From the original story:

"Don't get us wrong: We love the drafty old building," Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) said. "But the hard reality is, it's no longer suitable for a world-class legislative branch. The sight lines are bad, there aren't enough concession stands or bathrooms, and the parking is miserable. It hurts to say, but the capitol's time has come and gone."
