This whole mau-mauing didn’t even scratch Obama… unless by November 2008 we’re obviously winning. ~Dave Weigel

This sentence is either one of the greatest gaffes of 2007 or an example of the most brilliant reverse double irony that has ever been written by a blogger.

Update: If no one besides me gets why it is brilliant reverse double irony (or something like that), I suppose that it isn’t actually that great.  I still thought it was amusing.
