STILL NOT MUCH METTLE IN THERE STEELE

Michael Steele, Republican National Committee Chairman as he decried the lack of bipartisanship on the Sunday morning talk shows, it was pointed out to him that the healthcare plan that President Obama supports is virtually identical to that of Richard Nixon and him calling it socialist is inflammatory and misleading, to say the least. His answer was; it’s not what the plan is, it’s what the American people feel. Meaning he’s proud of having so distorted what the actual plan is and coupled with Eric Cantor, on the same Sunday morning saying, it’s not about the plan it’s about the fear. You have the Republicans waving their own banner, labels and fear and by their account “only” 30,000 people die a year without healthcare, that’s only ten Twin Towers. Not much metal in their steel.

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
