My, that was quick. Like my first attempt at sex with a girl.

Hannity is one of the dumbest people ever on TV. Just mentioning his name shortens everyone's lives.

Hannity gives hacks a bad name.

Taking shots at Sean Hannity is sort of like winning a pub quiz against the town drunk: there's just not much sport in it.

Oh, I disagree...

Hannity's so much of a bonehead, it takes him two hours to watch 60 Minutes.

Yeah, but the idiot who finally let his state department and diplomats do their job to a successful conclusion was the same idiot who appointed this idiot to the UN.

Certainly seem to be lots of idiots with extraordinarily narrow -- not to say unrealistic -- measures of success at the highest level of this administration.

Then again, I'm sure that Hannity was overtired from his repeated attempts at putting M&M's in alphabetical order...

I heard that Sean Hannity sold his car for gas money...

You would think that they would talk before hand. Or maybe they did and Hannity just wanted to leave that sound bite out there - "victory for Bush"

When the TV weatherman says that it's going to be chilly outside, Hannity stands out in his yard with a spoon, bowl, and crackers...

Who would you have a beer with? Hannity or Colmes? Or Jonah Lucianne?

What a country.

If you happen to be standing near Hannity's ginormous head, you can hear the ocean...

grape is here all week

Wow! That one is like a well-scripted parody. Please save it forever. Too good.

What a hack. Randi Rhodes keeps repeating it: Rush Limbaugh is smart but sold out, Sean Hannity is just plain dumb.

Hey grape:

In Hannity's skull, nobody can hear you scream.

Question: What do you see when you look Sean Hannity in the eye?

Answer: The back of his skull.

Hannity would give his right arm to be ambidextrous.

Hannity has a photogenic memory.

I heard that Sean Hannity sold his car for gas money...

Actually, I heard the jackass drives a GM hybrid for free and then brags about his environmental sensitivity, all the while urging us to "drill here, drill now" AND on the radio shilling for GM cars his millionaire ass would never sit in.

God, I hate Hannity.

The guy touted on his show that he has a hybrid: some big truck with 21 mpg.

I had to chuckle: 21 mpg?

How come Sean Hannity can't make ice? He forgot the recipe.

How do you sink Sean Hannity's Boat? Put it in water.

Did you hear about Sean Hannity's greatest invention? A solar powered flashlight.

Well that about exhausts my Polish joke supply. Too bad my Polish grandpa-in-law doesn't read this blog, he would make a killing on this post.

I've always had the most contempt for him out of all the outrageous conservative personalities that we're forced to endure. Coulter may have a vile personality, and Bill O'Reilly may be self-righteous and judgmental, for instance, but they are both smart. Hannity combines all of the worst qualities of the loathsome individuals on the right but lacks any intelligence, self-awareness, or knowledge. He's little more than a propaganda piece for whatever talking points the Republican leadership decides are important. I used to get very angry and frustrated when watching him, but then I just stopped. There are so many intelligent conservatives that I can read to expand my mind. Why would I waste my time with a mental midget like Hannity?

"victory for Bush" Posted by: George on June 27, 2008 at 1:04 PM

George nailed it. Hannity's vast audience listens in long enough for him to reassure them that Bush is still winning, whereupon they can continue their self-satisfied God-backed Republican lives unchallenged by the need for moral or intellectual investment...

This states local politics has a link straight to Talk Radio, that is how pivotal it is to keeping the masses "informed" and "enflamed".

from http://www.hannity.com/ website:

Hanni-date: The place where people of like conservative minds can come together to meet.
[picture of beautiful buxom blond by a Hannity-clone average joe]

Gee, how come Democrats don't have anywhere that we can come together....

Q: How did Hannity kill himself raking leaves?
A: He fell out of the tree.

Q: How did Hannity kill himself tap dancing?
A: He fell off the sink.

You heard of course that Hannity drowned when he tried to bury a friend at sea.

More !!!

The cats & I are rolling on the floor laughing...

Not inconsistent at all. In the first paragraph he posted the question of how the press would describe the victory. In the second paragraph, in the role of a member of the radical-right press, he provided one possible spin, the Bolton/Cheney wing(nut) version.

Perhaps not what he intended. It is not clear how to reasonably complain about this victory except to note that it follows 5-6 years wasted on failed Cheney/Bolton anti-diplomacy.

I agree that Sean Hannity isn't very smart. John Bolton, on the other hand, is smart and knowledgable about foreign policy. I sure hope he's wrong in this case.

David,

What makes you think John Bolton is smart and knowledgeable?

Near as I can tell he is a failed diplomat with a bad attitude and a very undiplomatic manner. He is so disliked he was never confirmed ambassador to the UN. He was so disliked at the UN America's friends were happy to see him go.

I have never found him to be right on a single issue. His power to make an incorrect prediction seem to be uncanny. If he is afraid it might happen, you can bank that it won't.

Bolton's foreign policy doctrine is to use American military power to force any opponents to bend to the will of his lobbyists.

The South Korean beef trade agreement is instructive. Instead of US beef growers providing a product that the South Koreans want, US power is used to force them to take the beef the way the beef lobby wants to sell it.

Bolton is a complete putz. I recall his fairly recent stint on The Daily Show where he either lied serially to Stewart, or truly knows neither the Consitiution or American history.

He's an appalling, appalling creature who must be put in a box, with no holes, and stored in a closet somewhere.

>But will the press report it that way?

Better question was, "But will nutty former ambassador to the U.N, John Bolton, report it that way?

Poor Hannity. Dumb as a log.

I resent the comparison. Also, I can probably kick your ass in a pub quiz.
