The White House undoubtedly has guidelines for phone calls.

I'm guessing one of them is "If the only reply you can think of is 'Oh, for fuck's sake', just hang up".

Shapiro: Generally I simply concoct a story and run it; this time I pretended that someone else made it up and told me about it.

I started to try to decipher this schmutz, because panties after all, but as I worked my way through it, I kept inserting parenthetical bits of truth, like "(I am lying)", following purported Shapiro excerpts.

As I edited my work for length, it eventually just reduced to

"(I am lying)".

While I do think that this is an <i>accurate</i> translation of Shapiro's apologia, it's not very snappy, so I fear I am out of the running for prizes.

In a related point, I have to express my amazement that <i>anybody</i>, even an apparent acephelic such as Ben Shapiro, could seriously believe that a mainstream Republican like Hagel would actually give a speech to, and take money from, an organization named "Friends of Hamas". I guess this is stupid transcendence.

Edward Klein writes books using just that technique. And the results speak for themselves...

Probably has more Twitter followers than Ole Newt and Duh Gov' put together.

And they're all just as fake.
