WHEN THERE WAS A WILL, THERE WAS A WAY, SAYS WILL, BY THE WAY

Regarding the automaker bailout, this week's "By the Way" award goes to conservative pundit George Will on "This Week With George Stephanopoulos." He allowed (he never states he was wrong, way wrong) that the 1979 Chrysler bailout that he and the conservative community condemned Jimmy Carter et al for not only worked but get this: it actually made the government money. How bad was Jimmy Carter as a leader? Americans don't even realize that some of what he did politically worked, as did the Americans on the Chrysler assembly line.

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
