From last Wednesday’s Opinion Journal, talking about judges (maybe Taranto’s reading RC2?):

Neither social conservatives nor constitutional conservatives will be happy with judges appointed by a President H.R. Clinton. And yet there has recently been talk that if front-runner Rudy Giuliani wins the Republican nomination, social conservatives may bolt, either voting for a third party or staying home on Election Day. What an irony it would be if they ended up electing a Democratic president who is reasonably conservative on every issue except the ones they care about most.

Can it be ironic if it’s entirely predictable? Or does that just make it a bitter irony.
