Written with Attitude

The strength of this piece is the sarcastic attitude in which it is written. The writer is irked with the republican party; but rather than trying to publicly embarrass them, he allows them to embarrass themselves.
This isn't so much narrative for the sake of a story. This was written because the author had something to say. He was trying to prove a point, and I can think of no better way than with an entertaining narrative.
It didn't really raise any new questions for me though. I feel like we've already covered everything. I suppose we could talk about what the smart-ass tone adds to or takes away from the story.
