    Well I hate war, Joan, but I still like War and Peace

    Joan hates rap. Good for her, she's proven how good she is.

    Well you know what -- I love rap, the same way I love Raymond Chandler.

    That's what rap means to me -- it's art, which means it's fiction. Even when it's fiction about the gritty ugly real world, it's still fiction.

    And I will fight to protect the right of any fiction writer to write fiction, even fiction that bothers Joan Walsh.
