“The most meaningless term in the English language is “I take full responsibility.” When a politician utters those words it means absolutely nothing.”

I mean, I think everybody realizes that calling people racist is a waste of time, nobody buys it anymore.

We in the press like to say we’re honest brokers of information, and it’s just not true. The press does have an agenda.

Except for talk radio, liberals pretty much control the culture.

I don’t believe all rich people are selfless philanthropists.

I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.

Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts.

I admire Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly a lot because I think they’re standup guys.

I didn’t say one negative word about poor people or about middle-class people or anything else. All I said was that the rich deserve our gratitude.

As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus probably would be, except for one or two issues, a liberal Democrat if he were around today.

The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone.

Journalists love to show their compassion.

My stories do have plot. They’re not just scattered language; they’re controlled, toward an end.

There is no ‘cat language.’ Painful as it is for us to admit, they don’t need one!

Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express.

There is the fear, common to all English-only speakers, that the chief purpose of foreign languages is to make fun of us. Otherwise, you know, why not just come out and say it?

Grasp the subject, the words will follow.

The finest language is mostly made up of simple unimposing words.
