If I was to really get at the burr in my saddle, it's not politics - and this is, I think, probably a horrible analogy - but I look at politicians as they are doing what inherently they need to do to retain power.

But what I wish the media would do more frequently is say, 'Bad monkey.' — Jon Stewart

I do the job and you pay me what it's worth. — Steve Albini
