"Why cant a Democrat get fired up about protecting the environment and enacting gun control legislation just as right wing republicans get fired up about making sure that children have access to assault weapons and banning The catcher in the rye and Harry Potter?"
"For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say youre an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.Then you go to an anti-immigration website chat room and ask, "Whats all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?"
"I got a phone call from Ricky Martins management asking me if Id like to do something with him in Florida around the winter music conference. My answer is as follows: I would consider doing something with Ricky Martin if and only if he publicly apologizes for performing at George Ws inauguration and if he confirms that when he danced next to George W. Bush at the inauguration he could smell brimstone and that George W. Bush is in fact the spawn of Satan. So if Ricky Martin goes on national television to confirm that George W. is the spawn of Satan then I will perform with him. Otherwise no deal. And only if we can do a cover of In a Gadda-da-vida, but The Simpsons version, In the garden of Eden (to which reverend Lovejoy responds ""that sounds like rock and or roll""). And, by the way, Im a pretty easygoing young-ish person, so if you ever see me walking down the street just stop me and say hello. Were all in the same boat, right? of course youll have to make it past my phalanx of security guards who are all ex-NFL linebackers, and the cadre of dobermans, and the perma-moat that I wear thats filled with electric eels and vicious sea monkeys. So if you see me just come and say hi. Im normal."
