Quote of the Day

I spoke to a lot of journalists about how I should speak up here. And all the journalists said "Craig, Your duty is to speak truth to power. That's what you do, you hold the truth up for everyone to see, that's your job." I'm sorry. I don't see it that way. That's your job. You're journalists. I'm a late night television show guy. I make up crap that isn't true then I say it on TV. I'm like Fox News. I'm not a journalist.
-- Craig Ferguson at this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner

{{{sigh}}} I think maybe the United States has, with the obvious exception of Helen Thomas, the dumbest press in the free world.
