Why not a phony press secretary, too?
Some words Dana Perino said today.
Tim Grieve [2007-10-26]

  • Hey, hubcap halo....

    I think you've got it1 YOU could be a WH press secretary! You've broken the code on the standard-issue answers:

    The 20 standard answers on a Magic 8-Ball are:

    * As I see it, yes

    * Ask again later

    * Better not tell you now

    * Cannot predict now

    * Concentrate and ask again

    * Don't count on it

    * It is certain

    * It is decidedly so

    * Most likely

    * My reply is no

    * My sources say no

    * Outlook good

    * Outlook not so good

    * Reply hazy, try again

    * Signs point to yes

    * Very doubtful

    * Without a doubt

    * Yes

    * Yes - definitely

    * You may rely on it

    Ten of the possible answers are variations of "yes", five are ambiguous and five are variations of "no".
