I would love to have Hannity's job.

Sit there spouting bullshit mostly written by someone else, having a cult following of people who are too naive (I won't say stupid or even dumb) to realize what I'm doing, and getting them pissed off nightly enough to come back and watch the commercials. Meanwhile I have no responsibility to speak of, no worries about health insurance or retirement, and I am totally protected by a huge corporation that has my back no matter what I say or who gets hurt by it. Then I can go home, look at myself in the mirror, and feel totally okay with what I'm doing for a living. Yeah, I'd love to do that.

1. Unfortunately, most people would

That’s likely what is motivating Tulsi. She wants to be the token non-blonde bimbo and pull down several million a year.

Playing them for idiots.

At least with a colonoscopy, you're not full of shit and don't eat any shit beforehand.

7. I watch Hannity's show sometimes, and it amazes me. All he does is...

...sit there and SHOUT NAMES of people his viewers have been trained to hate; like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs.

HILLARY CLINTON!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
SUSAN RICE!
Rashida Tlaib!

And his audience is chanting 'lock her up' at their TV sets at home. (Seriously, all the GOP has to do to destroy an well thought out idea or policy is to have Hannity reveal that it was thought up by somebody who is a friend or a distant relative of one of these people.)

And then he just SHOUTS NAMES of fake 'scandals' that his audience has been conditioned to be outraged by.

URANIUM ONE!
The SETH RICH murder!
The STEELE DOSSIER!

And then he wheels in his stock troop of meat puppets, Dan 'Bongo' Bongino, Greg 'Jackass' Jarret, Sarah 'Not-journalist' Carter etc to agree with him, and shout the same catch phrases.

It's got to be the easiest show in the world to write!

And for that, the network pays him $25 million per year.
