4. Just caught the tail end of it...

...but Shawn was going into attack mode, and Dean just brushed him off and turned his back to him to talk to Colmes for a bit. Pretty cool exchange. Toward the end, Dean pointedly asked Hannity whether it was permissible to attempt to enlighten the Presidency. Of course, Shawn goes, "no but, your book is political and you KNOW that it will hurt him." Shawn looked like a whiney little punk.

LOL...

Might catch the rerun.

38. The "back turning" was the single greatest moment on Fox, ever.
...whining thug Hannity looked like a lost child in a shopping mall when, in one of the greatest examples of body language in the history of Western civilization, Dean simply turned around in the chair, his back toward Hannity, and focused 100% of his attention on Colmes.

"We'll finish this tomorrow on the radio"...yes, ladies and gentlemen, John Dean made Hannity his "B" (since there seems to be a current controversy over using the "B" word here)...but he DID! Sean Hannity, for all intents and purposes, is now Mrs. John Dean.

He later spoke with Billy Graham's daughter Anne Graham Lotz about her book on unanswered prayers, "Why." He quoted a line from Garth Brooks about "some of the best prayers being the unanswered ones." Let's hope that Sean gets his wish and his favorite prayer is "four more years." If there was ever a prayer that deserved to be unanswered, it's that one.

:toast:

I saw that.
Hannity is a BITCH. He shut down the interview early and didn't answer any questions.

43. John Dean was the White House Counsel during Watergate
He knew the Nixon White House inside and out. His new book says that the * Administration is far worse.

6. Hannity's education?
Anyone know? Did he go to college? Did he go to high school? Did he go to grammar school? Whenever I see him I wonder- he's like Ann Coulter- you wonder what their background is. He seems genuinely stupid to me.

9. I wonder, too. Have asked about Hannity here, but no one seems to know.
Where did this guy come from? What is his educational background? What books does he read, what history does he know? He is more Stealth than Rush (and his three weeks of college). Any clues here about Hannity?

18. HE's a COLLEGE DROPOUT
Just so you know Hannity IS A COLLEGE DROPOUT!

From Barnes and Noble website:
Hannity's conservative fans have made this affable college dropout the second-most-popular TV personality on Fox (after Bill O'Reilly) and the radio heir apparent to Rush Limbaugh. This collection includes no-nonsense, no-holds-barred opinion pieces on topics ranging from mainstream media bias to homeland defense and civil liberties.

11. You know, Mr_Lefty...they say Ann went to law school...
and apparently graduated. My husband has is law degree and I am a few weeks away from mine. I don't know what law school she went to ... but we sure learned different things about the Constitution.

I know that Hannity knows little about either the System or the Law. It shows.

which is a respected school. But every law school has a few dunderheads who manage to graduate.

35. And Ann bitches about Michigan affirmative action?
Without Michigan dunderhead affirmative action, Ann would have spent her nights on the Wayne State University campus.

Ann would have LOVED Wayne State. That would have been when Mayor Coleman Young was in charge in Detroit, right?

15. He has a high school education.
He started n radio in the Columbus, GA area. He was friends with Newt Gingrich during the early years - used to give Newt an open mic whenever he wanted. Suffice to say: he's been shilling for the GOP ever since he first belched into a mic.

19. He went to college, didn't graduate
He attended UCSB (Santa Barbara) for a while and he had a radio show there. You can find out more about this on FAIR, but he had a guest on his show who said some slurs against lesbians and he was taken off the air. Sean then went to the ACLU (!) and eventually got reinstated--or an offer of reinstatement--but he had so poisoned the atmosphere he decided to cut and run, which is something he thinks we should not do in Iraq.

And he grew up on Long Island, somewhere near Huntington, I think.

Sorry I don't have the FAIR link, but it's easily findable.

biggest mouths always crying about how horrid the ACLU is are the ones that run crying to them when they get into hot water? Hannity, Falwell, etc. What a bunch of friggin' hypocrites.

21. Franken commented on Hannity's education today after being attacked
by a caller on his own "way of talking" - the caller said he didn't think Franken sounded as educated as Hannity. Franken said he thought Hannity got his start as a construction worker. He was very controlled and almost respectful in his tone - didn't flame the caller.

Hopefully Franken will have info on Hannity's education tomorrow.

26. Your right, however the caller questioned Al Frankens "education" and
compared it to Hannity, which is why AF mentioned it.

He did not do so in a derogatory manner IMHO.

24. genuinely stupid...
that is it! I usually just flip passed him cuz he looked so arrogant that I didn't want to bother and then one night I decided to listen to him. I was stunned at how simple and stupid he was. He is genuinely stupid. I don't even know if I would give him the benefit of the doubt and boost him up to ignorant ... he is just plain stupid.

8. Did you hear the part about Dean not reading his own book?
Hannity questioned him about a Washington Times story that quoted Dean as not reading his own book (one published in the 70s), and Dean said he had read all the proofs, every page, and "why in hell would I want to read my own book - I knew everything in it".

"why in hell would I want to read my own book - I knew everything in it".


THAT IS SO FUNNY! I wish I'd seen Dumb Ass Hannity's face for that comment. Someone needs to punch him.

29. The issue would make sense to Hannity
Edited on Tue Apr-06-04 09:43 PM by dpibel
Edited because, although it's difficult to mess up a one-sentence post, I can do it.

I suspect the only way for him to find out what's in his own book is to read it.

33. I agree that education and intelligence, and such are different
things. People here on this Board are very analytical and well-informed. I guess what I am trying to say is that when you listen to Kerry -- you can hear his education and experience coming out. Sean Hannity just sounds like some lawyer told him what to say and he didn't get it. In law school, they make you read, literally, thousands of court decisions, in which the great justices of our time explain what the Constitution means to them. I will never forget learning about 'vigorous and robust debate," the cornerstone of our society. It seems Ann forgot everything she read, especially the parts about what freedom of speech and freedom of assembly mean...not that religious bullies can force the rest of us to sponsor Roy Moore's sculptures.

What a punk. He does that all the time, when he's off-camera: he makes noises, clears his throat, yodels, whatever, as Alan speaks with a guest Hannity doesn't agree with. Hannity's a gutless, arrogant prick.
