I've been in radio, God, twenty years. I started as a stand-up comedian. I wanted to be Carol Burnett when I was growing up. Radio was just kind of an accident. I did morning radio in my hometown of Buffalo, then went to Rochester, then Chicago, and then New York.

Could you do a liberal propaganda tool that would bore the bejesus out of people? No.

I was actually abandoned by wolves and then raised by Republicans.

I didn't start talk radio until '95 in L.A. The show was very successful, and they actually tried to syndicate it nationally, but I couldn't get stations. It was like, "We don't care that she's funny and she's got great ratings. She's liberal!"

Rush Limbaugh, whether you hate him or not, he's a great entertainer; he's a great broadcaster.

My politics just kind of developed over time as a reaction.

You can't be twenty-four hours of just Bush-bashing.
