Irony, thy name is PJTV

This morning, I got an e-mail from PJTV — the online broadcast arm of the conservative blog conglomerate Pajamas Media* — containing the following two paragraphs, one immediately after other:

The Conversation: Dead and Gone, but the Spin Lives On: The War of Words in the Wake of Bin Laden’s Death
Is there a diffrence between discussing the politcal impact of an event like Osama bin Laden’s death versus politcizing it? Is it any surprise that the spin doctors are hard at work after what is widely considered a triumph for America in the war on terror? Tony Katz is joined by Stephen Kruiser, Alfonzo Rachel and special guest, the left leaning Tommy Christopher of Mediaite.com to discuss the ins and outs of the spin and the spinners spinning it.

Trifecta: All Bush’s Fault: With Bin Laden Kill, Obama Takes Credit for the Same Policies He Decried
In his speech Sunday night, President Obama overlooked George W. Bush’s contributions to the War on Terror. How much credit does President Bush deserve for catching Osama bin Laden? Find out in this episode of Trifecta.

LOL! Translation: can you believe those dastardly liberals and MSM types (but I repeat myself), always politicizing everything? Oh, and also, BUSH RULEZ, OBAMA DROOLZ!

*I should probably do one of those journalistic “full disclosure” things, eh? Pajamas Media has, in the past, paid me money to write about hurricanes, and I appeared on PJTV one time. So there you go.

    Oh Brendan, there is so much more delicious irony than that (in part because your sarcastic BUSH RULEZ, OBAMA DROOLZ! is overstated just a tad).

    For example, take Steven Colbert.

    Or better yet, Iowahawk:

    Like many Americans I had all but abandoned hope that we would ever capture or kill the 9/11 mastermind, and had resigned myself to the idea he would die an old man thumbing his nose at us from some comfortable cave in Waziristan. Well, I can happily report that I completely underestimated the skill, courage, and perseverence of America’s military. And, almost as happily, I can report that I also completely underestimated the capacity of America’s erstwhile “peace community” for turning on a dime and embracing the kind of all-American xenophobic flag-waving bloodlust they only recently decried. So today I stand proudly with my new friends of the formerly antiwar left in a mindlessly jingoistic salute to President Obama for an extralegal military assassination well done.

    There is plenty of irony to go around, and you’re missing the best of it.

    Iowahawk is a regular must-read, at this point … when he goes for the jugular, he does it with wit and usually scalpel-like precision, even when he chooses to use said scalpel as a bludgeon … he doesn’t so much do irony as fine damascene watered steely (if I can coin a phrase) … sorta like the Venerable Loy only without all the semi-random yet charmingly-idiosyncratic extra capitalisation …
