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:

Jindal, the 36-year-old son of Indian immigrants, carried more than half the vote against 11 opponents. With about 87% of the vote in, Jindal had 53% with 588,002 — more than enough to win outright and avoid a Nov. 17 runoff.
His nearest competitors: Democrat Walter Boasso with 196,104 votes or 18%; Independent John Georges had 156,962 votes or 14%; Democrat Foster Campbell with 141,346 or 13%. Eight candidates divided the rest.
Is something missing here?
Why do the ASSPRESS and other recalcitrant hacks always pull this missing-party gag on R---------s?
As for Jindal, he is now officially the Elephant's JFK Lincoln, unless the Lousiana swampland swallows him up.
P. S. ASSPress seems to have fixed this since, but the fact remains someone forgot to mention the new governor's party, and this sort of thing happens too often to be mere negligence.
