Blogging Tory irony, midterm-election style.

From dissonance and respect, we get the following gem:

President Bush had better uncap his veto pen, if he doesn't want Congress to turn Iraq into another Vietnam.

Yes, by George, the GOP almost had this thing in the bag, the insurgents were in their last throes, a bunch of desperate "dead-enders" and all, and along come the Democrats who threaten to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but that's all right as long as George W., in the spirit of co-operation and bipartisanship that he's famous for, reaches across the aisle and stabs Democrats in the eyeballs with his veto pen over and over, after which Iraq will, as a consequence, turn into another Vietnam, which will, naturally, be all the Democrats' fault.

You know, there are people who actually charge for sarcasm this cutting and rapier-like. I hope you folks don't start taking me for granted.
