Because you get a lot of that around here. Politics is full of people who think they're the only one to get a joke, to see through a fake candidate, to hear the lie in a disingenuous argument, to see the double agenda in a policy stance
Given how many people voted for Bush, it's not all that difficult.
And, as a native New Yorker, yeah, the New York times and the New Yorker Magazine sometimes take jabs at Obama for no reason I can figure, other than they wanted Hillary as the candidate, and are pissed she didn't win. Watching the primary coverage was pretty informative.
