Who is more annoying, Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly?
I don't understand why Fox puts on every night these two guys who of everyone in the US are:

1) Men
2) In their 40s/50s
3) From Nassau County, Long Island, New York
4) From upper middle class families
5) From an Irish background

As a man approaching my 40s, living a mile from Nassau, and from an Irish background (working class though, not lace curtain like them), I am confounded why Fox News's 8PM-9PM spot is followed at 9PM by someone who is so much the same. Is Fox News's national audience middle aged upper middle class Irish-Americans living in Nassau?

Anyhow, while both are annoying, Al Franken says in his book "Lies..." that Hannity is the most annoying person he ever met, and I have to go with that, Hannity is more annoying. Most women I know find O'Reilly more annoying.

1. That's like asking if I'd rather die in a car accident or a plane crash.

6. Hannity was more brutal during the campaign
shilling for the smear vets. Though it's like asking if I want the flu or cancer, I'd have to pick Hannity.

9. Atleast Hannity
Is upfront with who he is. He says he's a conservative christian republican and you get exactly that out of him. But O'Reilly plays this faux moderate independent that I find absolutely irritating. Stewert from oreillysucks says that he'd shut down his site if O'Reilly would just admit he's a Republican, and I think that signifies the difference between the two.
