It was absolutely the right phrase to use in light of the article's
generally ironic tone.
Note also the "communist" references, and the fact that the article
starts by comparing the SCO silliness with the Scopes "monkey trial" in
1925, which was also a court case put together primarily with publicity
in mind -- byboth sides.
More on Scopes:

SCO's statements have gotten so out of hand that it is now impossible
for a sane reporter to write a "straight" story about them.
