Isn't It Ironic? What's YOUR Fave Ironic * Fact?
Email that's going around, but often I do think we are living in GWB America, Irony World Headquarters!!

Dan Rather, CBS News Anchor

1) given documents he thought were true
2) failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
3) reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
4) when challenged, launched an investigation, quickly apologized
5) substance of the bogus documents appears to have been true anyway
6) cost to the world in lives and money: ZERO
7) Bush camp conclusion: should be fired as CBS News Anchor


George W. Bush, President of the United States

1) given documents he thought were true
2) failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
3) reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
4) when challenged, stonewalled an investigation, never apologized
5) substance of the bogus documents appears to have been . . . bogus
6) cost to the world in lives and money: INCALCULABLE
7) Bush camp conclusion: four more years

1. Bush is the only president to appear in military regalia while in office
while simultaneously being the only president to have deserted in a time of war.

3. Here's a double irony: John O'Neill, who was forced out of the FBI
because the brass regarded him as too concerned about al-Qaeda, retired and took a new job heading security at a large office complex. Within weeks, al-Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center, and he died on duty.

A leading spokesman for the "Swift Boat Veterans", a group at the other end of the spectrum of human nobility and responsibility, is alive and carries the same name, John O'Neill!

8. But I cheated, the way I hope John Kerry cheats tonight on rules against
asking * questions.

My cheating was accidental--until just now, I did not see the "*" after the word "ironic" in the leadin. But certainly everything I wrote would not have happened had * not occupied the White House.

I'm having a good time posting tonight. See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x926482

4. He is a Uniter not a Divider
this just kills me. I do not ever remember I time when this country has been more divided. I am 40, and my 70 year old father has said the same. He said the Vietnam war was dividing but not like this.
