Will be interesting to see how they switch gears after backing Rudy and dissing McCain, especially Hannity http://mediamatters.org/columns/200801290001

Vanity is an idiot. He's already whining about it. What did you expect?

Yeah, this is gonna be great, ain't it? Bye bye radio-talk-show-land! About freakin' time!!!

You know, I got to thinking about this the other day - this political "spin" has really gotten completely out of hand. And I mean, this dog-pile of media dollars, is exactly why we got the "Fairness Doctrine" in the first place.

'Cause what happens is, when you let people do "anything they want" in poltics, the inevitable result, is that they end up lying to you, in an effort to get your vote.

And, that's what 527 ads are - lies!!!

And, that's what Sean Hannity spouts into the airwaves every single night - lies!!!

So frankly, I hope Hannity loses his job, and starts having to collect unemployment. And that way, we can rub his nose in the fact, that him and his entire family are having to sponge off the government!!!!

Miserable clown - I really do wish him a year's worth of homelessness at a public park in a major metropolitan area in the United States.

O'Really, he's not too bad, all things considered - he means well and mainly just likes to talk a lot - but that clown Vanity, he's the pits - he's a vicious liar and a mean human being.

I'm no fan of Hannity. Despite the fact that I like his positions, he's too much of a cheerleader to my taste. I can't listen to him ranting and droning over and over the same things. He reminds me of an old muslim cleric nodding and chanting the same phrases ad infinitum.

However, what I find even more incredible non, is the fact that you probably believe all that crap you just said. Hannity isn't out of a job by a long shot. He's got far too high a rating in both his radio and television shows to ever be fired.

For example, let's say you're a broadcast executive. You're rolling in the dough because your boy Sean is bringing in the big corporate accounts and advertising dollars. He's making you millions. Republicans nominate a guy he was openly against... you kill your cash cow? Helloooooooooooooo

If anything Sean will have yet more listeners and viewers who are going to see what happens next.

And the fairness doctrine? Puh-leeeez Which part of the freedom of speech do you hate the most?

Nonsensitur's total oblivion on the purpose of the "Fairness Doctrine" is my candidate for Clueless Comment O' the Day.

Um.... is it, so you guys won't gang up on me?



Nah - see, what this means, is that all those clowns in radio-talk-show-land (which is most of those guys on Fox, right? Most of 'em have a radio talk show "too", of some sort, right?) -

All those guys, are now gonna have to explain, why they're ready to hold their noses and vote for McCain.

And I mean, you know, we're in for a real treat, 'cause I'm sure there's gonna be all kinds of twisted "logic" around that one - and then, we're also gonna get the "guests", right? That Hannity has dissed in the past 'cause they supported McCain, and now they're gonna get on there and say, "I told you so", and I mean, all that's gonna do, is make all those clowns look bad, and their ratings are gonna go into the toilet, and I mean - you watch - they're gonna get "increasingly virulent" with their rhetoric, in an effort to get their audience back.

This is "not" rocket science, right?

.....its going to be the foreign policy that gets them in.
Funny thing is Iraq/War on Terror which was supposed to allow the Democrats to simply walk right into the the WH (remember?..oh I bet you do )is a positive for the Republican and a negative for the Democrat.

Wait, Fox is having a news-flash here... oops, looks like Britney od'd,,, probably been hittin' the crack pipe again. Poor girl. Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah - McCain!

Duh2, it occurs to me, that the Republicans have done the credible thing here. You know, like, the conservative position, has been and continues to be, that national security is of paramount importance, and that's a legitimate argument and it's of great concern to all Americans, so essentially, the Republicans are giving us a "military guy", right? And I mean, that's credible, yes? It's certainly more credible than some idiot who's not only never served a day in his life, but actually weaseled out of his call to duty. So, by giving us a President McCain, they're bringing credibility to the table, which is a very good thing.

And I mean, this is the reality inside the Republican Party right now, yes? That "national security" piece, is almost the only thing those guys can agree on right now. That party is in [u]complete shambles[/U}, and it's going to have to be re-built from the ground up. But in the meantime, it's still possible, that the voters may choose the responsible military guy, over the "change" guy, you know, depending on how much the People value one thing or the other -

And I mean, that's the key piece, right there, correct?

"Let the People decide!"

So, you know, if the Dems offer up Obama, that'll be a real choice. That, in my eyes, would be a real, honest choice for the voters, in relation to priorities. So, you know, where are we going to invest the future of the United States, kinda thing.

But if the Dems offer up Clinton, then I dunno.... what I see there, is that they lose credibility, and so, the choice then becomes, a person with credibility but bad policies, against a person with no credibility and bad policies..... right? So that would be, like, the worst choice that could be foisted upon the voters.

Britney's at UCLA by the way, if you wanna go visit her....
