NOT LOQUACIOUS BUT QUOTACIOUS

Here, in what may become a regular Faux feature are some of the best “if” shortest quotes in recent public life. First exhibit; Secretary of State Condi Rice on the Iraq War (which has now actually outlasted WWII): “I knew it would be difficult, but not this difficult.”. Second exhibit is courtesy of Dick Cheney: When told the vast vast majority of Americans disapprove of the direction the country is going in general and the war in Iraq specifically, Mr. Cheney said,” So?” And that and probably third and probably the real winner, is our President’s reply to a reporter noting that oil is over $100.00 a barrel and that gas is nearing $4.00 a gallon, Mr. Bush said, “ I’ll have to look into that”. What’s your rush sir?

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
