In response to TAPPED’s sug­ges­tion:

I swear that I have nev­er tak­en mon­ey — nei­ther direct­ly nor indi­rect­ly — from any polit­i­cal cam­paign or gov­ern­ment agency — whether fed­er­al, state, or local — in exchange for any ser­vice per­formed in my job as a jour­nal­ist (or com­men­ta­tor, or blog­ger, or what­ev­er you think I should be called).
