A friend on another list asked about the following:
"Scott Brown is just a sheep in wool's clothing ..."

It's not in the eggcorn database. A quick googling revealed a few punny
sites (there's a knitting/fiber arts blog called "a sheep in wool's
clothing, for instance), as well as some apparently non-ironic uses
(albeit in impassioned writing).
