News Slant,
Two boys in Boston were playing baseball when one of them was attacked by a vicious Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board
off of a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it,
breaking the dog's neck.

A newspaper reporter from the Boston Globe witnessed the incident and
rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began entering data into
his laptop, beginning with the headline: "Brave Young Red Sox Fan Saves
Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal"

But I'm not a Red Sox fan," the little hero interjected.

Sorry" replied the reporter. "But since we're in Boston, Mass, I just
assumed you were." Hitting the delete key, The reporter began: "John
Kerry Fan Rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack"

"But I'm not a Kerry fan either," the boy responds.

The reporter says, "Oh, I assumed everybody in this state was either for
the Red Sox or Kerry or Kennedy. What team or person do you like?"

I'm a Texas Ranger fan and I really like George Bush" the boy says.

Hitting the delete key, the reporter begins again: "Arrogant Little
Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet after destroying private
property."

2. I've Heard That Twisted The Other Way
I think it was New York, Hillary Clinton and the Yankees. And the payoff was "Whiney Librul Kills Beloved Pet..." I prefer your version a lot better.

Cheers...

:hi:

3. Now that's a real fantasy - Globe has had Segretti operatives working
there since the 60s. They keep a few in the newsroom and a couple on the editorial pages. That's why you CAN'T get straightforward reporting from them without attacking Kerry in some way.
