Isn't It Ironic? Don'tcha Think?
It's not quite like rain on your wedding day or a free ride when you've already paid, but it's ironic all the same.
At the United Nations, Bush will try to highlight his goal of spreading democracy.
The man who's authorized warrantless wiretapping, is fighting his own Congress for the right to torture, presides over a political environment in which people are arrested at rallies simply for wearing t-shirts with slogans opposing him, has cracked down on civil liberties in his own country, took office in 2000 by having his brother steal Florida and kept it in 2004 by chicanery in Ohio... is going to the UN to promote... democracy.
In other news, Tom Cruise is going to the American Psychiatric Association's convention to promote healthy ways to deal with mental illness, Britney Spears is going to Lincoln Center to promote opera, and Lindsey Lohan is going to a Baptist convention to promote sobriety.
The next time we want to talk to the UN about democracy, we really ought to send somebody who actually knows even a sliver about it, don'tcha think?
Comments
actually, it was later discovered that all of the elements in Alanis' song were not irony, but coincidence.

Her song should have been called "Isn't It A Bummer? Dontcha Think?"
