I've had several calls from people, who said there's something not fair about appointing someone to the vacancy. If there is no election and the appointment goes through, there's about a 90-percent chance of it being contested.

It would be fair to say we're not going out of our way (for Idol ).

People who haven't done anything wrong are arrested all the time in Wichita, Kansas and it's not fair, that by reason of law enforcement ineptitude, they somehow have to give the government the most intimate information about themselves -- their genetic coding.

I used to get several telemarketing calls a day.

Not only will you have actual calls increase dramatically, but you'll also have the hysterical calls.

I've always tried to be fair, even-handed, not an advocate for any group.
