When Irony Becomes Hilarity

Headline today in NYTimes: "Bush Calls Kerry's Policies a Danger 'for World Peace.' "

The Warmonger-in-Chief, the author of the "Bush Doctrine" of preemptive warfare, fingers the other guy as a threat to world peace?

Soon's we recovered from our laughing fit, we realized how contemptuous that statement was of the intelligence of the American people.

A spokesman for the Kerry campaign, Phil Singer, responded to El Presidente's charge: "If George Bush thinks John Kerry's plans to strengthen the military, build alliances and implement the 9/11 commission's intelligence reforms will make the world a more dangerous place, he's even more detached from reality than he demonstrated at the debate the other night."

Detached from reality and swinging wildly.
