Russell has often been asked the question, "Do you have any writers?" His standard response is "Oh, yes...I have 535 writers. 100 in the Senate and 435 in the House of Representatives!"

A few examples of Mark Russell's style of humor:
  • Early in the Reagan administration, there was a news story about a power problem at the White House which was causing the lights to dim, etc. Russell remarked, "Of course, the last power shortage we had at the White House lasted ''four years!''"

  • In talking about Reagan's "trickle down" theory of economics, Russell said the way it works is that "Money held by someone like Nelson Rockefeller will trickle down... trickle down... trickle down... to Jay Rockefeller !"

  • "You've got the brain-washed, that's the Republicans, and the brain-dead, that's the Democrats!"

  • On the day after the 's second term will be good for business... my business!"
