Segmentation Fault: Core dumped..;-)

Sean Hannity. The guy needs help. Perhaps, medical help!

You have to feel pity for this guy. If you listen to his verbal assaults that he frequently unleashes on the guests on his show, especially the ones who dare to disagree with him, you almost have to wonder. Did he have a “healthy” childhood. Or, maybe it’s his marriage, if he is indeed married. I don’t know what it is. Come to think of it, I could care less if I did not think that he is a disgrace to American Journalism. Heck, he is a disgrace to everything that an American stands for, whatever that may be. And no, I don’t say this because of his many asinine viewpoints. Heck, I would take a Bill O’Reilly (who is no Dalai Lama, my friends) on any day over this specimen!

Here are a few examples:

Hannity Goes Down in History

If anyone actually held Sean Hannity and Fox accountable, this night would go down in broadcasting history as one of the industry’s most disturbing displays of partisan and unprofessional behavior on a news show. It all began with Hannity’s exclusive interview with Dick Cheney and things just escalated from there. 10/20/04 9PM

Hannity’s exclusive interview with Dick Cheney held no surprises for viewers. It was a blatant Republican campaign tool with Hannity feeding Cheney the right questions which really did not require answers.

“What do you think when you hear Al Gore screaming that you have betrayed our country; Ted Kennedy, who you reached out to; Howard Dean advancing the theory that the President knew about 9/11; Dennis Jucinich saying you’re targeting civilians for assassination.?”

So Cheney and Hannity managed to bash Kerry on every RNC talking point and still have adequate time for a close look at how close we are to being annhilated by terrorists, unless we vote for Bush. Only that vote for Bush can keep the terrorists away .

Mary Landrieu,D. Louisiana came on afterwards to supposedly give the opposing viewpoint. Hannity immediatly threw a poll at her saying that 62% think that Kerry’s remark about Mary Cheney was bad, Landrieu was ready for him and said the interview was really an infomercial and that just set him off. Here are some of his nasty comments countering her excellent criticisms.

“You are a lousy Senator.”
“If you don’t like it, I don’t care, If you’re going to do that,it’s a cheap shot.”
“You’re not the Vice President and I doubt you ever will be.”

When Colmes came in for his part finally allowing Landrieu to speak, Hannity couldn’t control his anger and broke in to argue.

Hannity Dumps on Nader

When Ralph Nader appeared on Hannity&Colmes tonight, Hannity’s irritability had reached a dangerous level. Nader, who is socially awkward on his good nights, decided to make a little comment about Hannity’s “softball” questions to Cheney. Ralph made a huge mistake.

Hannity asked Nader no questions and instead let loose with the following:

“You’re a loser, less than 1%.You don’t have a message that resonates with the voters. You don’t have support. You’re not a good candidate. Your’re a waste of time. I don’t see why we invited you here.”

After an awkward moment ,Nader realized that Hannity wasn’t going to continue the interview so he just gave his own campaign speech while Hannity looked bored and dismissive.

If you think these words are harsh, it’s worse coming from his mouth. Trust me. He is just about as deranged as they come in the Cable News business. Heck, any business.

May Lord have mercy on him and all those around him. He does not know what an ass he is. Do give him strength cause he will need a whole “shit load” of it for the day when he comes crashing down from wherever the heck he thinks he is
