1. Nice video. Sean must have blown a gasket off stage.
We've got your Frank Luntz - Sean Hannity throwdown over whether Barack Obama is authentically "pro-American":

"But words do mean something. You can hear in him a commitment, a change." snip

Luntz defends Obama further against InsHannity.

2. Frank, is that you?
Damn, I've dislike that guy since the first time I saw him, but that was a great argument.

10. He attended my caucus in Iowa. Do you know that he wanted Edwards to win?
He did. He told me that if Edwards won, he would be validated for his focus group findings. He also told me that he is doing a different job now and that it involves telling the truth.

I was skeptical but those were his words.

11. He said "involves telling the truth"?
...It just amazes me that people are okay with jobs where they don't tell the truth.

12. Yes! Isn't that amazing?
He knew I wasn't a fan of Fox News and this is how he responded to my skepticism.

3. When I think "smack down" I think more of a folding chair across the back of the head.
That video was more of a conversation that simply didn't go Hannity's way - still vary satisfying, and thanks for posting it.

4. Focus group Frank? Who'd a thunk it?
Same guy who wrote the republican operatives book on language? I'm just cynical enough to think, after seeing the video, that it's political expediancy on his part.

Just sayin' :shrug:

5. Whatever the reason...
I'm always happy to see Hannity done in on his own show!

6. I am shocked! But then...
How hard can it be to appear to be reasonable, nice, and basically sane when you're being compared to Sean Hannity?

9. Sean asks Frank: "Couldn't you teach me to give a good speech?"
Frank basically says there's only so much one can do. :rofl:

Seriously though, that was quite an interesting exchange.

23. While I am pleased with his actions, not quite ready to call him vindicated.
