I'd much rather wear out than rust out.

President Bush insisted today that he was not caving in to big-money contributors, big-time lobbyists, and overall industry pressure when he broke a campaign promise to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. But the air was thick today with accusations from people who believe that's exactly what happened.

Fear rules almost every newsroom in the country.

I don't back down. I don't cave when the pressure gets too great from these partisan political ideological forces.

And for whatever reason I've loved the news since I can remember. I loved it when I was in elementary school.

They may have turned this up, whether you had the Paula Jones case or not. But again maybe not, but again that's like if a frog had side pockets he'd probably wear a handgun.

Ratings don't last. Good journalism does.
