      Didn't Palin just tell him the death panel thing wasn't real?

      Yet another lemming to Rush. The right needs to think for themselves.

      Try to listen to Hannity's show and take a swig of beer every time he says "in other words" or "by the way..." You'll be sloshed by the second commercial break. The man must have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder- either that, or he's trying to cover the fact that he has the vocabulary of a nine-year old.

        My favorite Hannity drinking game word is "literally". He thinks it means "totally" or "extremely", using it for unnecessary emphasis. That is, when he's not using it completely incorrectly, when he should be saying "figuratively".

      Some pathetic loser called Hannity's show to tell him that he's standing on line waiting to meet "the Governor" and to get a copy of her book. He was too late to actually get a copy signed, but it was still going to be "one of the greatest moments of my life, just like talking to you, Sean." Hannity then called him "a great American" and made him promise to get a boombox and set the radio to Hannity's show, so the people online could hear The Governor say hi to them. I wish I was making this up.

      It's bad enough to be a knuckle-dragging moron; its another thing entirely to be eager to advertise it. I fear for my country after hearing stuff like this.

      Why can't they report what the panel actually said.

      They said "Women who are not at risk..."

      At risk is a huge factor in what they are recommending. If you are an at risk person, meaning there is a history of cancer in your family.

      this is also a recommendation... not an edict...
      It's basically saying that if you are not an "at risk" patient then annual mammograms aren't recommended.

      How does this get twisted? Oh yeah, Hannity is a fool.

      Political agenda over the truth...

        You're exactly right.

        There isn't a single thing that Hannity said that equates what was recommended.
