I stand up to people.

Success is overrated.

Courage is a mutual thing.

Reagan's dead, and he was a lousy President.

I'm not an anarchist. I believe in government.

An uprising of the reasonable is our only chance.

You risk becoming a parody of yourself by not innovating.

Just a threat of a boycott has got the Russians spinning.

Even on the greatest teams, there's always one role player.

All the things that people like me supposedly don't do, I do.

I guess the painkillers wipe out your memory along with your ethics.

Fox News is worse than al Qaeda. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan.

Matt Millen, you draft a wide receiver every year. HOW DARE YOU SIR, HOW DARE YOU!

One side sticks to the facts, and the other side is close to playing with its poop.

I'm a natural management guy. I had forgotten that. And I forgot how much I hate it.

Fox News is hated because they're elitists, and the worst winners television's ever seen.

Our country is wounded and bleeding now if we don't know whether or not habeas corpus exists.

Without [hatred] Michelle Malkin would just be a big mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it.

A bully is fighting out of a need to dominate. And is usually unwilling to take the consequences.

I'm difficult for management. That's why I have the reputation because nobody challenges management.

What's the difference between a hockey mom and a mass turkey-murdering machine? Looks like about 15 feet.

On so many levels [S.E. Cupp]’s a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does.

You know the Art Rule: Do something that entertains/interests YOU, if you're lucky it'll do the same for others.

As part of the process by which you hire me, you hire me. You just don't hire an hour of me to do a performance.

The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a quack.

Without humor, a sports fan is a religious fanatic. Without humor, a newscast is a terrible, depressing, unpalatable thing.

I can't think of an instance at MSNBC where anything I said on the air was influenced by what was going on behind the scenes.

If you're a baseball fan and you don't know what BP is, you're working in a mine without one of those helmets with the lights on it.

My last sort of crisis was about overcoming the people who were more interested in what I had done than what I was doing in the present.

Anything that prevents you from taking an action or actions that might reasonably dispel legitimate anxieties. Fear is what paralyzes you.

I just think if you're 44 years old and you're not smarter than you were when you were 35 years old or 25 years old, just stay in your room.

The idea of negotiating with the President of the United States runs contrary to everything that the Republicans have done since January 20, 2009.

It's very tough to get yourself around the idea that there could be a mechanism being used or abused to restrict and alter the society in which we live.

I do know without fear of contradiction what the definition of life is and it is 12 words long. 'Life is defined by how much you improve the lives of others.'

[Michelle Malkin] has been supporting a party which includes most of the idiots in this country who would judge her entirely and exclusively on her [Filipino] appearance.

[T]he strike is inherently dangerous to the rich, and to the corporations who have brought this country to her knees, because it is the only defense the ordinary citizen has.

I have achieved what I wanted to achieve. I'm better off at some sort of independent place where they not only like what I produce but also trust me to be the one to produce it.

It's not about 'NBC is evil.' It's about that media structure - CBS, ABC, CNN, even some of the smaller operations are now multinationals, with these extraordinarily diverse holdings.

I don't think there are huge divergences between my personality and what they see on TV. And I think that's why I have been gainfully employed doing this. I'll always deliver what an employer wants.

Al Qaeda really hurt us, but not as much as Rupert Murdoch has hurt us, particularly in the case of Fox News. Fox News is worse than Al Qaeda - worse for our society. It's as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan ever was.

At Current, television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don't have environmental cases against us, we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

The corporation is one of the great unheralded human inventions of destruction. It is a way to absolve from any personal liability a bunch of people. They form together in a massive ID and they do whatever they want.

Because I am so intensely identified with opinion and analysis and contextualization, I think I just need, for my own psychological benefit, a small island in which I can stand and say, 'I'm going to sit this one out.'

Health care is, at its core, about improving the odds of life in its struggle against death. Of extending that game which we will all lose, each and every one of us unto eternity, extending it another year or month or second.

If you make a decision in your life, even one as eminently logical and self-improving as "Why'd you start washing your hair every day?" and you start getting questioned hourly about it, you're going to start second-guessing yourself.

Once the Republicans get rolling, they assume they're going to win everything. They are zealots, and zealots assume the last five percent of whatever their plan is will be taken care of by their own greatness or momentum or divinity.

The format of the nightly newscasts is still very much 1981 - "Tremble, onlookers! I am the anchorman and now here is a miracle: a report by satellite from many thousands of miles away. I will return to introduce another one in due course."

Your anger will cool into hardened passionate insight if you wait a day. Most of the things that make me angry I let them sit. The heat that remains will be sufficient. The stuff that evaporates is the stuff that would have simply offended or made it histrionic.

Wanting to be on television is a mental illness. Wanting to be president of the United States, wanting to be an actor - these are degrees of the same mental illness. If you need to be approved of simultaneously by more people than are in this room now, there's a problem.

It's such a simple thing, really. It's an awareness that the other people in the world are other people, and that you are one of them. That every time you have a chance to help somebody out, to do what's right instead of what you think you're supposed to do, you should do it.
