the house divided that reagan built

So, I can no longer hold my tongue.

The superness of the tuesday and the bowl has been dwarfed by the superness of recent republican irony. We are not talking here about the ironies we have become so used to. This is special reagan irony. The basic idea is that a bunch of the talking heads (ann and rush) came out and condemned John McCain for not being republican enough and specifically for violating the Reagan Eleventh Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican." But here is the thing that astounds me.

So by attacking (swiftboating?) the likely Republican nominee, are not these pundits essentially committing the same sin they are so offended by? This is not "Alanis Morissette irony." this is "future generations will mock us irony."
