Circumstantial evidence is evidence.

Try to imagine an America without rich people. Rich people contribute a lot to this country.

You don't smear somebody as a racist when there is obviously nothing there.

I mean, I think everybody realizes that calling people racist is a waste of time, nobody buys it anymore.

We need to build a beautiful granite and bronze monument in our nation's capital to honor American heroes, unsung American heroes. And those unsung American heroes are the rich.

I respect the Kennedy family. I respect their service. They do a tremendous amount of good. You don't blame the children for the sins of the father and all of that.

We in the press like to say we're honest brokers of information, and it's just not true. The press does have an agenda.

I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I'm 'Ms. Manners.' That's not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone.

Hurricanes are dangerous things, and they're no fun to go through. And if you come out of it in one piece and your house comes out of in one piece, it's no fun living with no electricity for a day or a week, a month, whatever it is. And I speak, unfortunately, from personal experience on that matter.

I said that liberals think people who live in the middle of the country are a bunch of jerks, and obviously all liberals don't think that. But I will tell you what, an awful lot of liberal elites think that.

There's a kind of journalistic narcissism that New York-based journalists are guilty of.

I worked with these liberal elites for 28 years at CBS News, and they were always throwing around the term 'white trash,' by which they meant poor southerners who didn't go to Harvard. I'm not sure why that makes them trash.

I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.

Except for talk radio, liberals pretty much control the culture.

As a matter of fact, you know, Jesus probably would be, except for one or two issues, a liberal Democrat if he were around today.
