"Is It Too Soon to Start Talking About the Failed Obama Presidency Just Because He Isn?t President Yet?"

ADVERTISEMENTS
Reputed title of a Weekly Standard piece by P. J. O?Rourke, according to this NYT article called "Irony Is Dead. Again. Yeah, Right."

What's the connection between the death of irony and Barack Obama? Joan Didion made the connection, saying people these days were into "naïveté, translated into 'hope.'"

The Times -- struggling mightily to develop its theme -- tried to get Didion to explain herself:

?Basically,? she said on the phone Tuesday, ?I don?t like to talk about anything I?ve written or that I?m writing. What you write down, there it is and you?ve done it.?
Which means: Fuck you, I'm a wordsmith.
