- It took until my very last day here, but as of this morning I have run every single street of the nation's capital. All 1,838 of them
- Stephen A going on dumb guy political debate shows is like the menswear guy joining twitter; he cut his teeth in a medium so belligerent & so vacuous hannity has no frame of reference for itStephen A. Smith to Hannity: "I know you're not talking about someone being lucid and cogent and enunciating their thoughts with clarity and you're bragging about Donald Trump.
