ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT OF POLITICS  
...
Herman "Denny" Farrell just mentioned "the eleventh commandment" on NY1's

party.

Did Grant Barrett have it? Fred Shapiro? Anyone else?

Washington, D.C.: Dec 6, 1966. p. A17 (1 page) :
What White wants is a sort of national version of the "Eleventh  Commandment, 
Speak No Evil of Another Republican" that California Republican  chairman 
Gaylord Parkinson imposed in his state this year and which contributed  heavily 
to the ultimate success of Ronald Reagan's campaign for Governor.

Jan 25, 2002. p. A16 (1 page) :
But the hammering on the governor does not stop there. In a striking  
political spectacle, the three candidates in the Republican primary have also  begun 
running against him. In speeches, debates and, more recently, television  
commercials, they have repeatedly broken the Eleventh Commandment of politics,  
speaking evil about Mr. Ryan, the leader of their party, and accusing one  
another of being too closely allied with him or not sufficiently incensed about  
corruption.
