Best Concluding Sentence in History of Journalism

by Robert Koehler on November 10, 2009

There’s no way victim of compassion fatigue Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan could be a Muslim terrorist — he was a good tipper at the local strip club:

“I just can’t believe that he’s the one who killed all those people. You know, he tipped every girl as she came off the stage after her dance. He was a really good tipper.”

Who said FOX lacked standards?

Didn’t the 9-11 hijackers go to a strip club too? A bit of “titty jihad” before the main event….

Just for a foretaste of glory divine . . . (and in case only raisins await them).

Yes, Fox has standards even if they are low ones. There was a time when the National Enquirer was a dead-end career gig but now, maybe that is Fox News.

Strippers? Doesn’t surprise me. Many of the single 9/11 hijackers (and some of the married ones) also liked to frequent strip clubs.

#3: Yep, Fox News, with ratings as high as the next three news networks combined, is a dead-end career move. ;-)

Classic. Had me in stitches for minutes. They certainly recruit the best, don’t they not?
