      Yea, the right things for the American people in Hannity’s eyes are unemployment benefits expiring, loss of health insurance, and home loss. Those Americans were lazy anyway so they deserved their fate. Welcome to Hannity’s America.

      According to FOX and their Republican masters (or is that the other way around):

      Reconciliation = the majority oppression of the minority

      Bunning = Great move!

      So much for Fox' take.

      But in the real world (which FOX doesn't seem to be in) it's more like:

      Bunning = the minority oppression of the minority

      PS - But, isn't that what the antiquated 60-vote rule in the Senate really is?

      Really, so all the people using those benefits to give them a bit of a leg up while looking for a new job and who now have lost them and have to reapply are happy he delayed it? What a loser! He couldn't be more disconnected from the average person sitting on the mountain of money that is his salary! I can hardly stand looking at this dumba** anymore!!!

      Tell me Sean and Sen. Bunning, where the f**K were you two when Bush passed huge tax cuts, Medicare Part D, and got us into 2 wars with no funding set aside for any of them?

      It seems like Hannity is becoming less and less relevant. I notice here on MMFA that his vids are receiving less and less comments. I guess with the rise of Beck he has somewhat diminished into the dustbins of yesteryear. But he is still getting his money, so I guess to him it doesn't really matter.

        I think by the end of the day everyone is just tired of listening to the same crap being spewed over and over and over again. It is the same ol' schtick, only the faces change.

        Good observation...I think it's because Glenn Beck's ascension has changed the internal dynamics at FOX News. For entertainment value, Hannity's mendacity pales in comparison to Beck's clear insanity...and Bill O'Reilly appears to be transforming himself into an avuncular voice of reason (which, by FOX's standards is still way out there) to distinguish himself from the other FOX miscreants.

        But, yea, I've noticed that Hannity doesn't get the attention he used to. And his tirades against Obama now sound so transparently phony...like it's just a big act he's putting on.

        The interesting part will come when Roger Ailes decides to elevate Glenn Beck to prime time. Let's see who gets pushed aside in the process. But that won't happen until sponsors stop boycotting Beck...too costly to have prime time sponsor boycotts.

          Hannity is still too stuck on Wright, Ayers and other made up racial connections. He also has the Palin fetish, but it's not nearly as creepy as Beck's. Between Glenn and Rush, Hannity pretty much pales in comparison.

          It is just a big act for Hannity. According to reports, Hannity has said that he really doesn't care what he has to say as long as he gets the money. In other words, his political allegiance is up for sale to the highest bidder.

      So if Bunning did the "right thing for America," is Hannity going to spend the next several months condemning the Republicans for forcing Bunning out of politics?

      If Bunning is a hero, doesn't that make the people driving him out of the Senate (hint to Hannity: it aint the Democrats!) villains?

      Jim Bunning caves in and he's a hero?

      Sarah Palin quits her position as governor and she's a hero?

      Strange standards for heroism on the right...

          JP, you took the words right off of my keyboard . . .

          IRONY, remember -- these are the same people who regarded an AWOL Texas Air National Guardsman who landed on a carrier as a passenger while wearing a codpiece as some sort of conqueror . . .

      I'll tell my friend whose benefits were in jeopardy that this political grandstander was doing it for her.
