And these heroic storm battered reporters reminded us of some surreal Monty Pythoon episode instalment of bygone years.

(Sorry, couldn't resist. I waited all day before posting this silly retort, after initially thinking of it within moments of reading your post title. In the end, the temptation was too great...). And yes, I agree with you about the irony of it all.

Obama and his team would have to make some HUGE mistakes to lose in the face of the prevailing sentiment towards Dubya, his administration and his legacy. Funny, I though they blew!
