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.

RE: DELAY [Cliff May]
I was in the Green Room at CNN with two Democrats. One said to the other: “The best thing would be to keep DeLay. Make him the poster boy for Republican corruption. Use him going into the next election. Why would you want to lose someone that useful to you politically?”
The other Democrat replied: “Because he [SIC] too effective, that’s why.”

He too effective at what? At raising money sleazily? At putting his foot in his mouth? At looking like the heavy in a C movie?
He VERY effective.
P. S. Is Tonto a Democrat?
