balance given shows
Every other network has given all their shows to liberals. We are the balance.
jobs personal-qualities people
If you have a choice between qualifications and personal qualities when it comes to hiring people, go with personal qualities. You can teach them the job.
thinking trying unpredictable
I think it's because I'm unpredictable. I view every situation, every race, and every candidate differently I try not to rely on something that worked before.
winning triggers knows
You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.
hot rating palin
I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.
thinking long waiting
As long asthe audience or the public perceives you to be sincere in your approach and not petty, they will think it's fair and they will wait for the other person's response. But if they sense it's petty or the slightest bit unfair, they'll turn on you right away.
basketball golf play
Obama's the one who never worked a day in his life. He never earned a penny that wasn't public money. How many fund-raisers does he attend every week? How often does he play basketball and golf? I wish I had that kind of time.
reading giving interesting
I often tell my clients they should do at least 30 percent of all their reading outside their own field. This will give them perspective and knowledge that will make them more interesting.
earth scorched-earth
I only understand friendship or scorched earth.
attitude government air
They [NPR] are, of course, Nazis. They have a kind of Nazi attitude. They are the left wing of Nazism. These guys don't want any other point of view. They don't even feel guilty using tax dollars to spout their propaganda. They are basically Air America with government funding to keep them alive.
president next want
I want to elect the next president.
dumb biden spots
I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he’s dumb as an ashtray.
done
I've found increasingly less effectiveness with the man-on-the street type of stuff that was very standard fare for years. It can still be effective, but it's got to be done well.
coaching news documentaries
I've been in entertainment, politics, business, business coaching, public affairs, documentaries, programming, news, theater. So, there aren't many things I see that I haven't seen something like that before.
