Quotes

  • When Pat is saying something outrageous, you know when you yell at the TV? I get to yell at him in person. I get to yell at the TV and it hears me.
  • When Conservatives crusade against government while they are trying to be appointed to head the government, I think that's weird!
  • The single best thing about coming out of the closet is that nobody can insult you by telling you what you've just told them.
  • I'm so rarely the arbiter of what all women want. I'm usually quite the outlier on that chart.
  • I really believe that in America, if you are clinging to some indefensible, unconstitutional bad idea of a policy, ultimately — one day — you are going to look up from the front gate of your prison and there on the horizon will be the ACLU.
  • Spending freeze is what made the Depression 'Great.'
