I can’t think of an instance at MSNBC where anything I said on the air was influenced by what was going on behind the scenes.

Reagan’s dead, and he was a lousy President.

Abraham Lincoln did not shoot John Wilkes Booth. Titanic did not sink a North Atlantic iceberg. And Fox News is neither fair nor balanced. These are simple historical facts intelligible to all adults, most children, and some of your more discerning domesticated animals. But not... to Bill O.

Once the Republicans get rolling, they assume they’re going to win everything. They are zealots, and zealots assume the last five percent of whatever their plan is will be taken care of by their own greatness or momentum or divinity.

All the things that people like me supposedly don’t do, I do.

Fox News is worse than al Qaeda. It’s as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan.

As part of the process by which you hire me, you hire me. You just don’t hire an hour of me to do a performance.

I have achieved what I wanted to achieve. I’m better off at some sort of independent place where they not only like what I produce but also trust me to be the one to produce it.

I don’t think there are huge divergences between my personality and what they see on TV. And I think that’s why I have been gainfully employed doing this. I’ll always deliver what an employer wants.

It’s very tough to get yourself around the idea that there could be a mechanism being used or abused to restrict and alter the society in which we live.
