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.

Pelosi said one of her favorite moments from Inauguration Day was when Marine One lifted off the Capitol grounds, signifying former President George W. Bush's exit from Washington. "It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head," she said.

Now I get to drop it on the PEOPLE!

Pelosi also stopped by a reception Wednesday for San Franciscans who attended the inauguration. As a member of the joint congressional committee that oversaw the event, she expressed her regret that thousands of inaugural ticket-holders never reached their seats or designated standing areas near the Capitol because of long security lines.

"I apologize for that," she said. She noted that her own staffers and their families were among those shut out. "I don't know if my staff will ever forgive me. ... We'll just have to make it up to you the next time."

And she'll get the trains to run on schedule?
