FROM THE BAR (EXAM) SET-SO-LOW DEPT.

nbsp;Attorney General Alberto Gonzales may indeed be guilty of perjury in his testimony regarding his 2004 confrontation with other top Justice officials.  But while guilty, he may also be blameless.  Why blameless, because with his tendency to not recall (and presuming these are not manufactured non-recalls) he probably forgot what he intended to do even before he’d began doing it, basically he was an accidental jurist.  We are puzzled by one other thing at the Faux and that is if these memory lapses have been an ongoing problem for Attorney Gonzales in his personal history, how did he pass his bar exam to become an attorney in the first place?   Or fittingly, did the man who serves the commander of the bar-set-so-low ranch become an attorney by passing a bar-set-so-low exam?  Has Mr. Gonzales been an open book, hardly, but our guess is that’s the kind of test he probably got.

The Faux News Network Principles


A) We distort, you abide
B) Or we retort if you deride, unless we choose not to
C) Complete sentences are acceptable in lieu of complete truths
D) It’s OK to criticize the 2006 Democratic Congress for all America’s problems since 2001
E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
J) We proudly plagiarize in advance, examples available upon request
K) It’s easy to be fun-based when you’re fact based
L) Good news parody makes for good news parity
M) And, of course, our goal is and always will be to be the most trusted name in Faux News
