1. I didn't know Hannity lived in Minnesota
if he doesn't, he can't vote for or against Al.

5. Hahaha! No democrat gives two shits what that blowhard says and no
Hannity-listening republican would vote for Franken anyway so I doubt his desperate little anti-campaign is going to amount to much of anything.

:crazy:

17. Bully pulpit?

HA! He's on a high-powered FM station in Minneapolis that gets crummy ratings.

In the most recent ratings for this past fall, KTLK-FM got a 1.9 overall (remember, this station also carries Rush Lowbrow). By comparison, KTNF, the 1000 watt AAR affiliate, got a 1.7 share.

Yeah, some bully pulpit there.

:rofl:

18. He was going to get Santorum elected too.
I don't think we have anything to worry about.

2. In that case...
...Hannity is not a news reporter of any kind. Rather, he is a political operative.

4. Franken is # 18 nationally as far as a tlak show host

yes Hannity is 3 & Rush is 2 ..... but remember he is doing in on a hell of a lot less stations ...

Rhodes is 10
Schultz is 13
Miller is 44

7. I doubt if Fox's ratings are very high in Minnesota
compared to other places. So who cares?

9. I'd say the overlap of Hannity's listeners and people who might vote for Al (or know how to read )
is about nil.

10. that could be as devastating as Bill O'Reilly's boycott of France
He still buys his loofahs from the I-talians instead.

11. Well, I hope one of these days we can call Hannity and his
ilk "jailed radio talk hosts". When BushCo goes to prison for treason and war crimes, I hope the prosecutors also go after all of them for aiding and abetting a criminal consortium in committing the treason and war crimes.

12. And Heil Hannity thinks Bush is a successful President
That should tell you all you need to know about his judgement and credibility.

13. I wouldn't piss on
Hannity if he was on fire. What a disgusting human being he is.:puke: If given the oppurtunity I would kick a mud puddle up his ass and stomp it dry!

14. Better a "failed radio talk host" than a
failed talk radio host like Hannity. :-P

I'm sure there have been plenty of failed radios that carried Franken... while plenty of good radios refused to carry Hannity.

:rofl:

16. Insannity must have pretty low self-esteem...
...if he has to rip on Franken to prop himself up. What a loser!
