"TMZ, who embarked on a new beat this week: the intersection of pop culture and politics. Mattingly rolled tape on a TMZ reporter asking Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary, what did you do with the raccoon's dead penis? Where is it now?"
"I think the stress level on Capitol Hill has gone up a little bit, and that's good. Why not like get some more people in there to ask questions? I think TMZ has a different pulse on what people are interested in versus other reporters."
"There's no group of 435 people in America that deserve the TMZ treatment more than lawmakers. Pass some stuff and maybe I'll change my mind."
