Bringing back the irony
Posted: September 1st, 2004 | Author: Barry | Comments OffIs it just me, or is irony alive and well? George W. Bush skips out on Vietnam, and Republicans rally around him, mocking decorated veteran John Kerry with purple heart bandages (George did wear a decoration, but he didn’t earn it. That’s an offense punishable by 6 months in the brig by the Uniform Code of Jusice). Dubya flip-flops on the war on terror, and Republicans call John Kerry ‘Flipper’.
Some people hailed 9/11 as the death of irony, but I’m noticing that it’s alive and well.
