Not So Fast: Hannity Not Leaving New York Quite Yet

CATHERINE THOMPSON – JANUARY 22, 2014, 7:09 AM EST

Fox News host Sean Hannity isn't about to pack up and leave New York in a huff for a more conservative-friendly home -- yet.

Hannity threatened to relocate on his radio show Monday, after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said last week that there's no place for "extreme conservatives" in the state. But he told fellow Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday that an immediate change isn't exactly feasible.

"I think people might have interpreted it that I'm leaving the next day. If I could I probably would, but I like to consider myself a responsible person," he said, adding that by his count over 100 people depend on jobs at his radio and television shows to pay their bills.

Hannity said he and his wife are seriously discussing leaving what he called the "United Socialist State of New York," however.

staying and suffering in NY to protect those 100 jobs, see he is a job creator, a true Repuke hero. And I too am waiting for his waterboarding promise.

But I've heard that when he's not bloviating his usual nonsense, that he's a decent guy (unlike arrogant a-holes like Limbaugh and O'Reilly). So he might really care about the welfare of his staffers.
