“Jennifer, if you’re really suffering from high blood pressure, why are you even listening right now? You may be committing a slow form of suicide here on purpose, and that’s not right.”
“There is a new single by the rapper Ludacris. Now, in this song, Ludacris basically says that Hillary is a b-i-itch and thatMcCain ‘don’t belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed.’ I suggest that the Obama camp keep this coming. I do. We need more of this.”

“I

“The left destroys people who are threats to their template, to their narrative, to their power. They take no prisoners. They have the Drive-By Media with them, the Washington governing class, and the Democrat Party. It’s a three-headed beast — that’s what we’re all up against.”

“Let’s go through the list! Let’s find out how many kids all these Drive-By Media babes have and find out how it is they still do their jobs and not be distracted by their families! Well, they seem to think they’re just as important as the vice president!”

“What do the moderates offer? They just repeat their platitudes and tell us to keep quiet. They don’t even want the debate because they don’t even know what principles they will surrender.”
“The reason Colin Powell enjoys a 70% approval rating or whatever is because he doesn’t specify where he falls on any issues. Well, hell’s bells, folks! I could probably be loved by 70% of the people if I didn’t have an opinion on anything!”
