If you could capture any politician and keep him chained up in your backyard as a pet, who would it be and what cutesy pet name would you give him?
Dennis Kucinich. I’d call him “Gilbert Gottfried.”

You had a baby pretty recently. What’d you do with it?
Immediately projected all my unfulfilled dreams onto her. She’s already signed up for Patriots cheerleading camp.

What are you going to do to stop global warming?
Shame-stare people driving Escalades.

What are you going to do to stop Ralph Nader?
I think once he sees Dennis Kucinich — oh, excuse me, Gilbert — reciting the “Aristocrats” joke in my backyard, I’ll be able to shame-stare him into anything.

No more writers’ strike! Thoughts?
I hope this doesn’t mean the end
