- [On the feud with Bill O'Reilly] Keith Olbermann: From, let's see, a year, year and a half ago, the whole tenor of this thing changed. It had essentially been me pointing out what kind of crap he was putting on the air, and then it became anything that was said about Bill merited some sort of brilliant overreaction, like an on-air petition to get me fired. Or this thing -- and it would be really funny in a different context -- where he thought he could call up Fox security and local police and get them to somehow go to the house of someone who called his radio show and mentioned my name. I just wait for his overreactions and respond to them now.

- [On his feud with Bill O'Reilly] Keith Olbermann: I'm not declaring victory in that war, but I think the point that Jonathan Alter made was pretty solid -- that if my goal was to make O'Reilly go nuts, I have succeeded.
