I started as a stand-up comedian. I wanted to be Carol Burnett when I was growing up.

This is so sexist. I mean, are we really going to put this as a standard of something we are going to judge our presidential candidates by?

I like fighters. That's why I love Russ Feingold. I love Barbara Boxer. And Howard Dean and John Conyers. Democrats I talk to around the country want their leaders to come out and fight for them.

You don't have to think exactly like me. When people go, "I don't agree with everything you say," you know what, if you agree with everything anyone says, you're an idiot.

Fox succeeds because it's entertaining. It's like a rightwing freak show.

I don't know how many times a phone call or e-mail starts with, "I don't agree with anything you say but you're funny as hell so I listen to your show, I love your show."

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