NEWS ALERT: Irony Not Dead!

The headline: Bush Marks 40th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act

The irony: "The work of equality is not done, because the evil of bigotry is not finally defeated," Mr. Bush said.

This from the man elected after his brother's goons purged the voter rolls of minorities, attempted to keep minorities from the polls and staged a fake riot to stop a vote recount. This from the man who wholeheartedly supports a constitutional amendment to make an entire group of citizens second-class. This from a man whose party has a rather less than convincing record on hate-crimes laws, equal education and equal rights for women and minorities.

According to the article in the NYT, aWol was able to say the above with a straight face. Amazing.
