Pat Sajak quotes

The most important political task facing the out-of-power party- the Democrats for now- is creating a villain to run against. It's certainly easier than developing some grand new ideas or policies on which to campaign. (Pat Sajak)

Sometimes you just stumble into something that works, and here I am a quarter of a century later.

A celebrity has just as much right to speak out as people who hold real jobs. This is America, after all, and you should not be precluded from voicing your opinions just because you sing songs, mouth other peoples' words on a sitcom or, for that matter, spin a giant multi-colored wheel on a game show.

Sexual scandals are especially effective against Republicans who can then also be accused of hypocrisy inasmuch as they're always spouting off about morality and junk like that. Of course, some personal issues such as former Klan membership or leaving the scene of a fatal accident are off limits for obvious reasons.

Television people have put blinders on and they absolutely refuse-and movie people too-to admit that they can have any influence for ill in our society. You know the argument: 'We only reflect what's going on. We do not perpetuate it.' And yet not a week goes by in this town where there's not an award ceremony where they're patting each other on the back, saying, 'You raised AIDS awareness' [or] 'There'll be no more child abuse thanks to this fine show you did.' The argument is you can only do influence for good; you can't influence for ill. That makes no sense at all.

That was my nickname in high school.
