"I read you once took a psychological profile test, and it said
the position you're most suited for is undertaker."
-- ABC's Claire Shipman to Vice President Cheney in an interview

"It was four years ago during the Democratic convention, not far
from where we stand tonight, that John Kerry stood near his father
on his deathbed. Earlier, as the family was preparing to leave
John Kerry's home in Boston, I'm told he whispered to his sister,
'Remember the words of our mother on her deathbed when she said, 'John,' knowing he would run for President some day, 'remember, John, integrity, that's what matters.' Tonight, John Kerry tried to show that integrity."
-- CBS's Byron Pitts during live coverage of John Kerry's speech
to the Democratic convention, July 29.

"Anybody who knows me knows that I am not politically motivated,
not politically active for Democrats or Republicans, and that I'm
independent. People who are so passionately partisan politically
or ideologically committed basically say, 'Because he won't report
it our way, we're going to hang something bad around his neck and
choke him with it, check him out of existence if we can, if not
make him feel great pain.' They know that I'm fiercely independent
and that's what drives them up a wall."
-- Rather as quoted by USA Today's Peter Johnson and Jim Drinkard in a September 16 article.

"The tyrant has fallen. But for some, he's a fallen hero....
Iraqis are much like abused children: scarred by the man who was
both father figure and enforcer. His rules were simple. Obey, and
he would provide jobs, food rations, electricity and security.
Rebel, and punishment was merciless. But Saddam Hussein also gave Iraqis dignity and pride. He became a symbol of defiance across the Arab world, never backing down from a fight....Those who loved him and those who hated him still can't separate the man from the country in their minds. For many, his humiliation is their own."
-- Kimberly Dozier in a December 16, 2003 CBS Evening News story
about Iraqi reaction to Saddam's capture.

"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.
