THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

I stand corrected: "Gun control, gay marriage and abortion are conspicuously missing." Translation: Unlimited abortion, beat Bush, PC, beat Bush, beat Bush, beat Bush -- in PRIVATE. Sorry MSSSSSSSS. Pelosi, we've still got it.
Of course this will happen when you campaign on a RATHER platform.
P. S. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, didn't see this:
But some promises, such as to "guarantee a prescription drug benefit under Medicare" and to "enact middle-class tax relief," may open Democrats to charges that Republicans already have acted.
Translation: Anything you can do we can do better. Further translation: Ka-CHINNNNNNNNNG!!!!!
