In one generation, my family went from extermination simply because of how they pray to God to this ridiculously privileged life I live today. So how can I not love America?
It's hard thinking about Iraq at night when I'm dancing with transvestites in the afternoon.
My campaign is based upon the proposition that the answers to the problems which currently plague our cities, our towns, and our homes, are not to be found in the decisions in Washington. They are instead to be found in the hearts, minds and resources of our own people here at home.
I create this persona for the show. And that's what it is. I'm an act.
I like the idea that there's no censorship, because it's consistent with my views that we live in a free society and people ought to be able to express their views.
The overarching issue, as I see it, is the elitism of America's political system; the fact that regular, ordinary Americans aren't considered in policy debates or legislation, and regularly get shafted by the powers-that-be in Washington.
I'm not conflicted. Because I know. There's me, and there's the show.
Somewhere in the land, a monster lurked.
I can't imagine anybody who has spoken to more, or presented more non-famous people on television in the history of the world.
It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.
[Invading Iraq] would create generations that hated the USA.
To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.
TV is a huge draw. It's a magnet. Even when I was a policeman, if I was on a police scene and the news showed up, I'd race home to see if I would be on TV for 2 seconds!
I'm liberal, but I watch the three majors. Obviously I watch MSNBC, also CNN and Fox, which is what I would call ridiculously to the right.
