I am shocked - shocked, I say, at the allegations of cronyism, corruption and moral turpitude surrounding such prominent members of the Bush administration and its assorted associated agencies. Taking bribes from defence contractors? Government contracts being given to companies with dubious financial backgrounds? There's never been a hint that this stuff has been going on, has there?

It's not just that the Emperor has no clothes. It's just that he insists on walking around naked and thinks no one will notice.

Midterms in November, guys. Don't disappoint me.

Does "shocked" mean that you are surprised? Or is it unsurprised and outraged?
Because it certainly does not surprise me... or anyone in Europe.

The second. It's a sarcastic "shocked".

More like sarcasm, really. :)
