Sean Hannity needs to shut the hell up and let the guests answer the questions rather than hector them every 3 seconds.

I have been listening to the Hannity & Colmes show, and Hannity's habit of constantly interrupting the 'guests' rather than letting them actually answer the question that he asked them is annoying.

What I'm waiting for is one of them to say 'I'm answering the question, so shut the fuck up.'

Alan Colmes had the same habit on his radio show.
Perhaps that's who Hannity got it from.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I didn't know if this belonged in Politics or Off Topic.

Agreed, Sean Hannity is really obnoxious. He's a big fan of the ad hominem, as well.

Not just that, but horrible false dilemma, red herring, and black/white fallacies.

Excessive use of buzz words as well, esp. "blaming American first." He repeats this not unlike a robot.

I honestly prefer Colmes, not because of his politics, but because he's a much more civil debater.

Whos Sean Hannity?

Well, he has to be better than that Nazi, Michael Savage. Has anyone else heard this guy? He's like a cross between Adolf Hitler and McCarthy from the 50's.

Savage is a rabid, stick-TNT-up-a-liberal-ass type of guy, not unlike Fred Phelps and Annthrax Coulter, and certainly not ashamed to admit it.

Hannity, despite not yelling and getting red in the face like Savage, comes off as a smug prick. That smugness makes me want to reach through my TV and stick jabaneros up his nose.

I can't listen to that fellow. Tried once, but could feel brain cells shutting down, so switched back to my trusty jazz station. Used to like Rush Limbaugh when I was in college, but the man can't stop puffing up his ego, so I don't listen to him anymore. I do like listening to Micheal Medved though. He airs up here in the Northwest. Don't know if he's nation-wide or not.

Crossfire on CNN isn't so bad as political debate shows go. At least there both sides get their say. Talk radio on the other hand is a lost cause.

At least Ann Coulter is easier on the eyes.

They should give P.J. O'Rourke his own show. He's funny as fuck and Bill O'Reilley has proven nobody is too ugly for TV.

Amen to that!

But they won't because PJ is way too libertarian and sees right through the bullshit that is the 'War on Drugs'.

However, a show that I would love to see would be one with PJ O'Rourke vs. Bill Maher.

PJ would gut that smug prick like a Christmas turkey.

I don't know, I think Peej could do well with a show on say Comedy Central.

I think PJ O'Roark has been on Politically Incorrect once or twice.

If any of you get a chance there is a guy out of an fm-talk station in boston...Jay Severin. rabid libertarian, and jsut a wee bit coo-coo. i listen even through a little static.
