Two boys in New York were playing basketball when one of them was attacked by a rabid dog. Thinking quickly, the other boy ripped a board off a nearby fence, wedged it into the dog's collar and twisted it, breaking the dog's neck.
A reporter from the New York Times saw the incident and rushed over to interview the boy. The reporter began by entering the headline into his laptop: "Brave Young Yankees Fan Saves Friend From Jaws Of Vicious Animal."
"But I'm not a Yankees fan,” said the boy.
"Sorry," replied the reporter. "Since we're in New York, I assumed you were."
Hitting the delete key, the reporter began: "Hillary Clinton Fan rescues Friend From Horrific Dog Attack."
"But I'm not a Hillary fan," the boy says. The reporter says, "I assumed everybody in this state was either for the Yankees or Hillary. What team or person do you like? "
"I'm a Detroit Tigers fan and I really like George W. Bush,” the boy says.
Hitting the delete key, the NY Times reporter begins again: "Arrogant Little Conservative Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet."

I like it. Ann Coulter has a good one in 'Slander' too.
