Wonkette says:
Lloyd Grove's Lowdown: Hannity ducks debate with Moore, blames fear of unknown private plane.

But when you click on the link Wonkette provides, it talks a lot about Hannity and his fear of this plane, but it doesn't mention Moore. ???

Did Fox News star Sean Hannity break a speaking commitment in St. Louis tomorrow because the organizers couldn't provide him with a sufficiently luxurious private jet?

Hannity cancels appearance

Since he can't fly in style, Sean Hannity says he won't come to St. Louis at all.

After promising to counter Michael Moore's speech this Friday, the conservative commentator pulled out of the deal less than a week before his scheduled appearance-but reportedly asked that the media not be informed of his motivations for the decision.

...Hannity, Hollander said, requested a private jet to fly him to St. Louis for the speech, but then rejected "several" different jets offered by a private donor. He told Hollander about a "bad experience" with the prominent company that had manufactured all the jets offered for his trip.

Hannity cancels appearance
By Rachel Streitfeld

Since he can't fly in style, Sean Hannity says he won't come to St. Louis at all.

After promising to counter Michael Moore's speech this Friday, the conservative commentator pulled out of the deal less than a week before his scheduled appearance-but reportedly asked that the media not be informed of his motivations for the decision.

...Hannity, Hollander said, requested a private jet to fly him to St. Louis for the speech, but then rejected "several" different jets offered by a private donor. He told Hollander about a "bad experience" with the prominent company that had manufactured all the jets offered for his trip.

"He was very forceful on the phone," said Hollander. "It was hard to get a word in edgewise with him. He was interrupting me a lot. But that's sort of the nature of his personality-at least, his radio personality and T.V. personality."

5. you're very welcome

Hannity is such a lowlife, isn't he?

cowardly, loudmouthed chickenshit.

10. so this Hollander guy comments on Sham's boorish arrogance

then excuses it. Geez, Hollander, stand up for yourself, stand up for good old fashioned manners. He and Sham are in the same class, and I don't call that the pussy class...

I say:

Grow some ovaries. (I have no faith in the mighty ball) :evilgrin:

[FizzFuzz]

11. oops is Hollander a woman? I gotta read the article

cringe..I goofed up.

OK, but Hollander STILL needs to grow some ovaries and call this assfool what he is. Instead of focusing on how much they worked on the event, and belaboring that point, talk about how this demonstrates Sham's lack of character. Geez, she excused him because he has a radio-bluster personality.

6. Hannity -- Old Erse Dialect for Chicken?

When he's not in his own studio with lickspittle lackeys staffing the controls, Seanie doesn't play. A live, personal one-on-one with Michael Moore? Hannity would sooner chew ground glass.

7. Moore has pneumonia and cancelled his appearences ...tis what i've heard

:shrug:

8. What a spoiled snot-nose! FOUR offduty cops to provide "security"?

For WHAT? For HIM? Who does he think he is, the president of the United States? Evidently yes. I hope these young women remember how they've been treated, what a paper prima donna he is, how rude he was, interrupting the whole time, making ridiculous and outlandish demands - I mean he's a f-ing TALK SHOW HOST. Thinks he's Tom Cruise or something. Good. I hope this leaves a taste in their mouths. The time they wasted. The bullshit they took. The money they raised - for nothing. The phone calls, the hassles, the arrangements, the ego-feedings, and he pulls out anyway.

I seriously doubt he renegged because the flying arrangements weren't just so. I bet he started sweating because he knew Michael Moore was going to have him on toast for breakfast. Michael Moore wouldn't let him interrupt and coddle him and be his spinelss foil as he's used to having from the pathetic Alan Colmes. Michael Moore was gonna give him a real workout for a change. And deep-down, he knew he wouldn't measure up. He couldn't control the conditions, couldn't tell Moore to shut up, couldn't order his mike yanked out, nothing. He was gonna have to stand up and be a man all by himself.

Probably noticed that bush had a hard time doing that, and figured he didn't want to start sweating in his nice designer suit. Wouldn't be good for his image. Especially if the "firebrand" is extinguished by a guy who doesn't have a fragile ego to coddle, and no designer anything.

9. Stop watching Hannity.

As long as he has viewers, he will continue to broadcast his bullshit and get paid for it. Only by reducing his audience to insignificant numbers will shut him the fuck up and send him looking for a real job.

12. I agree, but doubt that we here are the ones watching him. n/t
