"McVeigh’s lawyer got him the death penalty, which, quite frankly, I could have done." ― Jon Stewart Topic(s): Death More From Jon Stewart "If the events of September 11, 2001, have proven anything, it’s that the terrorists can attack us, but they can’t take away what makes us American – our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights. No, only Attorney General John Ashcroft can do that." "You just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things." "I’ve always liked Atlanta. And not just for the strip clubs, but the shopping and the food."
