Irony

If you didn't know what pandering or irony are, this post is for you. The "other side" has provided great examples this week of both....

IRONY - This column is a great summary of the irony I was already appreciating with regards to the request some had for conservatives to pray for bad weather for Obama's outdoor speech: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474977432497&grpId=3659174697244816&nav=Groupspace

PANDERING -Senator McCain's selection, today, of Gov. Palin as his running mate is the most extreme example of pandering to an extremist wing of a party that I can ever recall. ...and that's saying a lot. Many have said that his real intent was pandering to Sen. Clinton's supporters. However, if the Republican's presumptive Presidential candidate had really wanted to pander to Hillary Clinton supporters, he could have picked our Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell. She has years of experience as both a legislative leader and two term Governor. Oh that's right, he couldn't do that since she is pro-choice in some situations.
