"My Observer beats your Rhino Times anyday!"

"This is not what I had in mind when we said we were going to manipulate the media!"

"I thought the media worked for us!"

"I thought Fox delivered your news exclusively."

"It's hard to throw like this when we're used to doing everything underhanded."

"I thought McCain's message would be on clay tablets!"

"Crikey! We're here again in the jungles of the Potomac, watching two old and tired political animals fighting for dominance!"

"You cannot be a Republican and work for The Observer!"

"I hear the Observer is narrowing it’s pages to better reflect your political views."

Rehash or rewrite?

"I deliver the Observer, and the Observer delivers for me."

FOX news and CNN debate the issues.
