- Okay bear with me this’ll be a little tough. You should know this isn’t the first time I thought about leaving. I thought about it some twenty years ago when a check that would soon become a part of Cincinnati folklore, made me see life from the bottom. To be honest, a thought about ending it all crossed my mind, but a more reasonable alternative seemed to be ‘hey how about just leaving town? Running away? Starting life over, some place else?’ You see, in political terms as well as human, here in Cincinnati, I was dead. But then in the, probably, the luckiest decision I ever made, I decided ‘No! I’m staying put!’ I would withstand all the jokes, all the ridicule. I’d pretend it didn’t hurt, and I would give every ounce of my being to Cincinnati. ‘Why in time,’ I was thinking, ‘you’d have to like me. Or if not like me, at least respect me.’ And I’d run for council even unendorsed. And I’d prove to you I could be the best public servant you ever had, or I’d die trying. Be it as a mayor, an anchor, or a commentator, whatever it took, I was determined to have you know that I was more than a check and a hooker on a one night stand. But something happened along the way. Maybe it’s God’s way of teaching us. I don’t know, but you see? In trying to prove something to you, I learned something about me. I learned that I had fallen in love with you. With Cincinnati. With you who taught me more about life, and caring, and forgiving, and also most importantly, giving. Giving something back. Which is part of the reason… I have been… Excuse me. So sad this week. why… Why it’s so hard to say goodbye. God bless you, and goodbye. - View Quote Details on Okay bear with me this’ll be a little tough. You…

- I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not believe it was in our national security interest, and I still don’t. What we did was akin to taking a baseball bat to a beehive. Our primary security threat right now is terrorism —and by doing what we did in Iraq, we’ve managed to alienate a good part of the world and most of the allies whose intelligence and other help we need to combat and defeat terrorism. - View Quote Details on I opposed the war in Iraq because I did not…

- Life is what it is, and you take what’s handed, and you work as hard as you can, and hopefully you’ll be successful, but I just don’t spend too much time worrying about that. I do my show and I’ve always said it’s a stupid show, and I’ve had a wonderful life because of it and all that, but I’ve never for a second thought that it’s important. It’s trivial. It’s chewing gum. I recognize that. Once you do something that’s significant in life, all this other stuff is just a way to eat. - View Quote Details on Life is what it is, and you take what’s handed,…

We are the light. We are the Statue of Liberty. - View Quote Details on The Statue of Liberty means everything. We take it for…
- I still do politics but I do it behind the scenes now. So that’s still my passion. It’s what I believe most strongly in, and I love that. Do I miss being in elective politics? Sometimes. This show is fun to do, my American show, and it’s obviously silly, sometimes stupid.
