1. Listening....

Hammity says he was chased down the hall..bwahahahahahah

[theivoryqueen]

4. mean and personal.... They ought to duct tape him to the chair and

prop his eyelids open with toothpicks. Hannity is really a slimeball.

[jean]

2. man - Al gets almost tongue tied trying to spar with hannity -

[theivoryqueen]

3. It is like listening to a train wreck - makes me nervous

al is pulling punches and hannity is a better public speaker - he has the whole diction thing working for him - dammit!

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. Franken should not let the asshole interrupt him

on HIS show. Hannity is a jerk! Interrupt HIM, Al! Let me finish my point. Let me finish my point. Let me finish my point. Let me finish my point. Shut him up, Al!

[Joe the Revelator]

6. How is Hannity's mic louder even on Al's show??

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[CatWoman]

7. Hannity's mike went out

and as a courtesy, Al gave him his.

[SunDrop23]

8. Hannity is such a jackass.

[theivoryqueen]

9. I question the decision to have hannity on the show...

I understand that core listeners will discount most of hannitys spin, but still, he is getting a lot of mileage out of this interview.

[Cleita]

10. Hannity doesn't impress me with his bulldozer approach to

debate. It only reinforces my opinion that he is nothing more than a spinmeister for the right. A credible debator lets the opposition have their say and then refutes them. This business of talking over the person trying to clarify a point makes the point that Hannity only wants his views out there and no one elses no matter how erroneous they may be.

Hannity you are an idiot with a big mouth.

11. Janeane...was just there..bwhahahahaha

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. He said that she called him a "CRETIN" yesterday

on her show and how could any woman be married to him. She just said..."It's True!" Love her!

[Viking12]

12. Hannity lecturing on civility = Dahmer lecturing on Vegetarianism

In the same sentence he calls Gore a "psycho" he calls for increased civility. Fuckin' hypocrite.

[bagnana]

14. exactly. More "watch what you say" crap.

And who is this "enemy" he keeps talking about? The enemy we forgot about as we went and invaded Iraq? What a freaking asshole! I hope they wipe off his mike because it is probably covered with spit and froth. A rabid attack dog for the right, all bite, bark and no brain.

[RodneyCK2]

15. The thing with Al...

is that he repeats himself, often, and he needs to be more concise. These right-wing, tag-line flingers walk all over him. Al says, "Auuuuugggghhhhhh", between every other sentence. Step it up Al.

[KharmaTrain]

16. They were talking past each other

This would be a great debate on neutral ground...preferably radio...if such a forum exists.

Sounded like there was a lot of activity going on in that booth and Hannity's visit was far from planned. Franken got him good with the Clinton vs. Bunnypants argument about Hannity claiming Clinton didn't have the moral authority. Hannity got haymakered and cried, as he always does, foul and Franken backed off. I'm certain Hannity wouldn't have done the same if this were in his cesspool.

Thus...without theatrics...just issues...I'd love to hear the two go at it. Maybe a C-SPAN event??? As usual, Hannity plays victim when he's attacked and couldn't back up a single one of his points with a legitimate argument. I could sense Franken knew this would be too easy a prey and I applaud his restraint.

Final though: (might be worth a post)...looks like Rove is looking to pick a fight. Last night Tweety goaded virtually everyone who came on the set and Faux has been parading around spreading lots of rumors and spin. Methinks Hannity walked in to see if he could stir up some shit that surely would have been videotaped and onto Faux faster than you could say Rupert.

These goons are desperate...they need the sizzle, the red meat, the scandal...the "shove its". I like the idea of letting them spin themselves into a tizzy more and more. It shows how selfish and mean-spirited these assholes are...and the picture America needs to see of them.

17. Hannity 101

Hannity is allowed to be as shrill as he wants while he complains about other being shrill - it's a great scam.
