Um... who wants to tell him?

“President” Bush issued a statement today that announced new sanctions against Zimbabwe.

Said Bush; “The regime has also continued its ban against NGO activities that would provide assistance to the suffering and vulnerable people of Zimbabwe. No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences.”

That bang you heard was my head exploding due to the irony of this statement…

Rove, Craig & Vetter have company

Like Karl Rove, Larry Craig and David Vetter last week Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol is practicing the art of irony.

Appearing on Fox “News” yesterday morning, Kristol sarcastically disparaged the sexism and misogyny that Democratic primary voters showed Sen. Clinton, saying; “It never would have happened in the Republican party. […] Republicans are much more open to strong women.”

Excuse me??? “republicans are much more open to strong women’? Seriously, that’s your argument?

I seem to remember him giving into that sexism during the primary, when you mocked her crying… though that’s nothing compared to what you said in February while discussing Clinton’s supporters, saying “White women are a problem, that’s, you know — we all live with that.”

Apparently republicans grasp of irony is as misguided as Alanis Morrisette’s grasp of irony…

Karl Rove has company

Like Karl Rove earlier this week, Senators Larry Craig and David Vetter are practicing the art of irony…

The two senators are naming themselves as co-sponsors of S.J. Res. 43, the Marriage Protection Amendment that, if passed, would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”

Did we mention that both senators have been implicated in extramarital sexual activity?

Vitter was identified as a client of a prostitution firm owned by the late Deborah Jeane Palfrey, aka ‘The DC Madam.’

Craig was arrested in 2007 on charges of lewd conduct in a Minneapolis airport terminal for attempting to engage in sexual activity with a male undercover police officer.

His arrest and plea became public two months later. At that time, Craig attempted to withdraw his plea and enter a new plea of not guilty. To date, his efforts have been denied by the courts

I still love irony… especially when it’s a two-fer of self-righteous conservatives with sexual skeletons in their closets.

Karl Rove is Mr Irony

Last Sunday the NY Times ran an article that looked at the CIA’s interrogation of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, and in the process identified the name of the CIA agenct that interrogated him.

On yesterday’s “The O’Reilly Factor” former Bush crony Karl Rove criticized the Times for leaking the name of the CIA agent, saying; “T]hey’ve got a very callous view about our nation’s security and interests.”

Rove then went on to say that the US is put at risk when a CIA agent’s identity is leaked.

I love irony…
