"The storm is coming, Isabel, it's hit North Carolina -- thank goodness, it doesn't appear to be a raging hurricane in the sense that it's causing catastrophic damage -- it's gonna wind its way around, it's gonna hit New York. But here's the thing about New York, uh, and a hurricane. After what we've been through, for the past, you know, two, three years, really, a hurricane? Uh. Bring it on, bitch!

[Wild applause in the studio]

You know what I'm saying? I'm not afraid of you! As a matter of fact, I would go so far as to say I hope the hurricane comes here and rains and winds as hard as it can, because it would help wash the anthrax off of everything....

So, come to New York for the anthrax. Stay for the hurricane."
