GeorgeBush's recent description of his quagmire in Iraq describes a few other OxyMoronic horrors.
It's not necessarily oxymoronic. There are many examples of success that has happened so fast and to such a magnitude that the "successful" party has been unable to adapt and has subsequently been destroyed.
- KrispyKreme donuts
- DrewBarrymore (who later successfully recovered from her catastrophic success)
- KobeBryant
- many, many lottery winners
- this seems more like catastrophic luck
- Pyrrhus of Epirus, at the battle of Asculum (PyrrhicVictory)
