Campaign Reporters: Take The Pledge

[uberblonde]

Send this list of campaign pledges to your favorite (incompetent) political reporter:

1) I promise I will actually cover the issues and proposals in the campaign instead of focusing on the horse race. Not simply by calling whichever expert I already have in my Rolodex for a quick quote, but actually examining the issue in some depth, from several angles. If the results are ambiguous, I will say so. <...>

2) Without regard to gender, I will not mention anyone's wardrobe or hair, with the following exceptions: A candidate has taken to wearing a crown and carrying a scepter -- or any hat lined with aluminum foil -- or someone has shaved their head, revealing a large "666."

Because we don't care. It's not important, don't try to hide behind these "color stories" to tell us what you really think about a candidate. We don't care what you think -- you liked George Bush, and we know how great your judgment was there, don't we?

Very funny and right on!
