| HAHA! QUOTE OF THE YEAR GOES TO... |
| Wednesday, December 29, 2004 |
"Powerful and extremely well-financed forces are concentrating on
questions about the documents because they can't deny the
fundamental truth of the story. If you can't deny the information,
then attack and seek to destroy the credibility of the messenger,
the bearer of the information. And in this case, it's change the
subject from the truth of the information to the truth of the
documents. This is your basic fogging machine, which is set up to
cloud the issue, to obscure the truth....Over the long haul, this
will be consistent with our history and our traditions and
reputation. We took heat during the McCarthy time, during Vietnam, during civil rights, during Watergate. We haven't always been right, but our record is damn good."
-- Dan Rather discussing CBS's forged memo scandal, as quoted by
the New York Observer's Joe Hagan, Sept. 15.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
