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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

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

Here is why Mrs. Bush's remarks rankle the knee-jerk leftists, despite their obvious good intentions; the jerks have interpreted them as the sniffing of a nose-in-the-air over the peons. Not without reason; the Bushes are a chosen family, as copiously illustrated in a man whose best friends included the detestable Jim Baker and the late unlamented King Fahd, and who gladly sent the amoral Brent "My Favorite Martian" Scowcroft and Lawrence "Whataburger" Eagleburger to suck on the Chinese Communists' shoes. Mrs. Bush meant to say that the Astrodome was a far better outcome than a hole through an attic, or death; I've no doubt that's what she meant. But then the BLATHERERS at NRO unearth three sluglike perfessers who celebrate price gouging, and how can one not think of conservatives and Republicans as snobbish and spiteful and unfeeling, and all but wading in the gold of their own private Fort Knoxes? Sometimes con-SER-va-tives' best weapons are the ones they aim at THEMSELVES.
