The media is supposed to be custodians of the facts and watchdogs of government. They have, for the most part, neglected to be either of those things.

I was terrified of being on television - and also I overcompensated, I'm sure, because I know I did this in my personal life too at the time, when I was younger.

I would never join the Tea Partiers, because I don't have a problem with the color of Obama's skin. I don't have a problem with immigrants. You know what I mean? I do have genuine problems with policy and government corruption. Sure I do. And I speak very candidly about that, regardless of who's in office. But since the Tea Partiers are ridiculous, why would I urge anyone to participate with them?

As you can tell from watching the show, I'm not a strong joke writer per se.

I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things.

The teabagger thing and the right-wing thing - they pick easy targets, and a female in the entertainment industry is low-hanging fruit. It's very easy to mock and marginalize people in general who are in the entertainment industry, for some reason. But then definitely there's the double standard and the misogyny that goes through it as well.

You young people with your twittering and your creating of content. Or what is it - queefing? I don't know what you young people are calling it.
