Bonus hilarity: the beginning, where Hannity tries to smear Deepak Chopra. alan colmes, on his way out the door, tries to dispute him, but is put in his proper place by Shannity, who doesn't appreciate having his lying interrupted.

Then, the maudlin flag-waving begins. We protect 100% (!) of the world, but we're only 4%! What nice overlords we are! Why won't anyone like us more?! Why don't kids know American history. We're so great and wonderful and moral, how could anyone have anything but praise on their lips for this great experiment in Democracy!

Bonus innanity: Bill mentions that his book contains "Democrat" heroes, as well as Republicans. Gee, Bill, thanks for including "Democrat" people in your book too. With all of that respect, maybe you could learn to use the right adjective.

1. Hannity "this is a GREAT book" later "I just got this book today"
the first quote, that Hannity would know a great book, is funny on its own but add in the fact that he clearly just flipped through it during the commercial only makes it better.

Colmes clearly isn't playing by the we-don't-argue-with-each-other rule anymore

Bennett
Ah so Bill Bennett is going to excite the kids huh? Yeah he is JUST the person they will latch on to :sarcasm:
Bill don't try to latch on yourself to the actual writings of other people
Lastly....and let me be clear about this
WE DON'T HAVE GATES IN THIS COUNTRY---or are you just letting out your Christmas wish list there Bill?

9. Great catch - though I don't usually pay too much attention
to what he is saying, your logic is flawless and I find I'm not missing much.

10. Thanks. This isn't a bad idea for a book but I can tell that this is more subservience than history
do not question the greatness of your country
do not question those who have come before you
do not question the powers that be-simply learn as they tell you what THEY do

run THAT up your flag pole Bill.. if you can find it

2. Maybe Bill Bennett can go on FOX to debate Bart Simpson again!
Okay, a little history here. Back in 95 or so, Bennett saw a poster of Bart drinking a beer, and being the "family values" guy he was, challenged the moral implications. When called on it, he said "I'll debate Bart Simpson anywhere and any time." The creators of the Simpsons responded, "If Bill Bennett thinks he can debate a cartoon character, I'm more worried about drugs than beer." As a side note, the poster Bill saw was a bootleg, not authorized or approved of by the owners of the Simpsons copyright.

COWABUNGA, DUDE!

3. I was just imagining Hannity as a Nazi and it really fits him. No doubt
had he been raised in Germany at that time he would have been a good little Nazi!

11. You're right. Hannity would have been the perfect little Nazi
Don't question. Obey all orders. Yes, of all the right wing blowhards, he would be the most perfect Nazi.

5. HANNITY'S AMERICA sure isn't MY AMERICA !
Come see how GREAT it is living in Third World America http://www.wisecountyissues.com see the goodness and the prosperity thanks to the likes of Hannity and THE COAL INDUSTRY. Appalachia is a toxic third world waste dump, if I had a gate available I'd get out of Wise County, Virginia faster than Hannity piles on the crap ! Educate yourself Mr. Hannity, Obama isn't going to bankrupt THE COAL INDUSTRY, they do that on their own leaving environmental damage that will last Ten Thousand Years ! They get the dough first, then file for bankruptcy so no one is held culpable for the damage and destruction.
