Irony Week in Ottawa

Rick Mercer is a supercilious prick, but he can be very funny. (Or should I say he is funny and can be a prick?) I wonder if he writes his own lines.

Tonight in the opening segment of his self-named CBC show he commented on George W. Bush's visit to Ottawa, which includes a visit to the Canadian Museum of Civilization, "it must be irony week in Ottawa."

Indeed, with the looting of the museums of the cradle of civilization during the American invasion of Iraq ... Perhaps not the point Mercer was making but heh...
