I have been accused of something I'm not guilty of. How do you prove a negative? No matter what we discuss here today, I'm never going to have my name restored. But I've got to try and set the record straight.

A skill required to be president is to explain to the American people any given thing they do.

My writing is extremely important, so I write every day. I just enjoy it. I get a kick out of it.

Most of the gaffes I've made have not been funny - they've been stupid.

The shouting and opinion and jokes don't exist if there isn't first a story.

My own view, there is a need for and a demonstrated need for more journalism now than there ever has been.

I'm not in the judgment part of journalism.
