In an email attacking Dick Cheney’s fundraising on behalf of Tom DeLay (PDF), Tom Hughes of Democracy for America takes peas in a pod metaphors to a whole new level:

Is this a momentary lapse in Cheney’s judgment? Not a chance. Right now, his ex-chief of staff faces spending the rest of his life in jail on perjury charges. So Cheney riding to the rescue of Tom DeLay arrives as no surprise. The two are peas in the same, ethically challenged pod.

As John Stewart would say — whaa?
