Hannity sounded downbeat on the radio today.

[pacalo]

On my way home from shopping today, I accidentally tuned into Hannity's radio program. I kept it on long enough to hear two female callers who sounded like good little Fox soldiers -- I use that term because after each caller slammed the Democrats, he'd end the call with, "You're a good American, a good American."

One caller had a suggestion. She said, "We've got Fox, we've got you & Rush, & we need to get all the other conservative talk show hosts to interview the soldiers in Iraq to get their opinions about leaving Iraq."

Hannity dismissed that right away. "Oh, we can't do that. The military has to stay non-political."

(I thought, Hannity knows interviewing the military wouldn't be beneficial to the Republicans, but, alas...later on before he signed off his radio show, he decided that it would be a "great" idea. Now, all I know about Hannity is what I’ve seen on video clips. I don't know Hannity from Adam -- & I'm not one to seek out Fox-type pundits out of curiosity, usually -- but my thought was that he changed his tune after realizing that they could set up Fox-style, or Bush-style, interviews (only those Bush “patriots” who agree with the Republicans would be involved).)

Most interesting to me, though, was that Hannity didn't sound as spirited as I've usually seen him. For a man to have nothing but dittoheads calling him throughout the show to express kindred thoughts, you'd expect more animation in his voice. Instead, he sounded either tired or downbeat. He complained about New York, being stuck in a now-blue state that will probably end up "kicking him out", but most notably, he complained about the new governor of NY, saying, "He hates my guts!"

Fox News' demise can't come soon enough for me. Growing up with a disdain for the Soviets' use of propaganda against their people, Fox News is the most anti-American concept today.

1. My guess is Spitzer doesn't care about him at all.

[trotsky]

5. To steal an old saying,

Spitzer craps bigger than Hannity.

2. I agree

I heard his interview with Mitt Romney, and his questions lacked their normal insanity and shrillness.

He probably got a spanking from his neo-con masters for letting the evil libruls take the 2006 elections, and now he's sulking.

4. what does it matter that NYC is in a blue state? It was blue anyway!

[pacalo]

8. He said something to the effect that it was even bluer than it was.

Plus, the fact that NY changed from a Republican governor to a Democratic one that "hates his guts" seemed to have been a real downer for him.

They're finally getting a taste of what we've been feeling for the past 6 years. I hope the Democrats show this country who the bad guys really are.

12. well, darn. I don't particularly want him back in Georgia, either.

He'll just have to make due up there . . . unless he wants to trade places.

7. At least one repuke has snapped out of denial, but still...

Thanks for the vent....

11. One of the female callers also said, "You'd think the Democrats won the Oval office."

No, caller, we're just happy about having checks & balances back into the government, like our forefathers intended. And most importantly, there will finally be congressional oversight over this administration. Equal branches with sworn duties to perform.
