"Help is on the Way!" Has anyone else noticed this phrase with irony?

[WiseButAngrySara]

The media keeps emphasizing this quote: "Help is on the Way", and it reminds me so painfully and poignantly of election 2004. Just imagine if Kerry Edwards "hope is no the way" had become reality! We would not currently be in a death trap quagmire in Iraq or NOLA and the Gulf States. Messopottamia and MessoGulfCoast! It makes me bitter.

Every time I hear it, I think of

Andy Kaufman on an early SNL lip-synching "Here I come to save the daaayyyy!" from the Mighty Mouse theme song.

2. "Duck Soup" springs to mind.

Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) is named president/dictator of bankrupt Freedonia and declares war on neighboring Sylvania.

"Help is on the way!" (followed by trumpets)

4. I thought Edwards should get a bus with

the "Hope..." slogan on the side and lead a caravan down there so we could DEMAND to be allowed in to help/feed/evacuate people (I really did post this last night before Gore flew in today, honest...)

edit for spelling

9. If people would have been smart (in 2004), help would have been there

and, quite possibly, could have minimized much of the damage . . .

[WiseButAngrySara]

14. I believe that, though judging from the sarcasm of most of the remarks,

I think that's a minority view here!
