TV Newser confirms: Hannity to go solo at 9 p.m.

No surprise. A refresher on the timeline: Sources told the NYT this would happen as far back as November 24, prompting a formal denial by Fox exec Bill Shine the next day followed by a shot across the bow from an unnamed FNC “insider” who insisted, “Hannity cannot carry the show alone for an hour like O’Reilly.” I wonder if it was a fait accompli all along and they were just jerking us around for whatever reason or if they were honestly skeptical of the idea and needed time to test out the new format until they felt comfortable with it.
TVNewser has learned Fox News will debut a new program at 9pmET, entitled “Hannity,” featuring Sean Hannity as host. The program premieres January 12.
“Hannity” will include a “Great American Panel” of three nightly in studio guests — a liberal, a conservative and an “X factor.” The show will mix commentary, interviews and special segment like a “Hate Hannity Hotline.”
Unless there are other changes I’m not aware of, the lineup from 3 p.m. until 10 p.m. will be Shep, Cavuto, Glenn Beck, Special Report with Bret Baier likely hosting, Shep again, O’Reilly, and Hannity. Nary a woman or liberal in sight (Shep doesn’t count) until Greta, and of course her show’s not political aside from the occasional Palin piece. For the record, “Hannity solo” did indeed end up narrowly winning TV Newser’s poll — after members of his online forum literally spent weeks spamming it. The results of Hot Air’s poll were, er, different, needless to say.
In FNC’s defense, after 12 years the formula at nine had gotten stale, especially head to head with Maddow. And there are worse fates than having a guy with 15 million radio listeners primed to attack a Democratic president and Congress in primetime. Even so, condolences to KP, whom the Foxies inexplicably continue to take for granted despite her popularity even among a readership as stalwartly conservative as ours. I don’t understand why she’s not on the “Special Report” panel, a format much better suited to her sensibility than tossing molotovs from the bunker as the token liberal on H&C. The excuse, I presume, is that she doesn’t (yet) have the journalistic credentials the rest of the panel has; why you or I, as viewers, should remotely care about that is beyond me. Certain members of that august body have been known to read (and, ahem, quote from) this blog from time to time, so hopefully this will get their attention. How about it, BK?
One last poll for the road.

Zzzz.
Now we can watch him do his radio show on TV, which is Zzzzzz.
Gimme Rush’s old show any day.
Good Lt on December 11, 2008 at 6:01 PM
It’s wise cost-cutting. Obama’s new White House press secretary, whoever it is, can replace Colmes for free.
RBMN on December 11, 2008 at 6:02 PM
Aren’t you her only fan here? She’s a lot like O’Reilly. Contradictory and no real core set of values.
lorien1973 on December 11, 2008 at 6:04 PM
I’m wondering if his means “Hannity’s America” goes away.
Not much of a point in keeping it around.
I wonder if KP has any idea how popular she is, even among us scary bible and gun clingers?
Hawkins1701 on December 11, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Allah:
Who gives a damn?
nickj116 on December 11, 2008 at 6:06 PM
No votes yet for “Should have kept Colmes.” It’s not easy being the Skeletor.
backwoods conservative on December 11, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Bill Ayers 1 hour a day, 5 days a week.
lodge on December 11, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Why does he not count? He is a liberal, even if he’s occasionally sensible enough to earn an “atta boy” from folks like us. Plus, he may cover the “woman” side of things too, as it’s rumored that he’s a gay.
RightWinged on December 11, 2008 at 6:08 PM
It’s a good point about KP vs. Hannity here, but Hannity isn’t popular here, so this isn’t a good sample either.
Hannity better up his game though if he is going to produce a good show solo. I think the transition would have been much smoother with KP, but how much more life does a Hannity + someone else yelling show have?
Spirit of 1776 on December 11, 2008 at 6:09 PM
I think he means that, technically, Shep is not a woman.
lorien1973 on December 11, 2008 at 6:11 PM
It sounds good to me, except for the Hate Hannity Hotline idea which is a channel changer for me.
No doubt the beloved KP will be a regular guest, and the good news is we won’t have to endure Alan interrupting so he can read his daily talking points script.
Buy Danish on December 11, 2008 at 6:11 PM
His liberal partner should’ve been a Japanese fembot.

CyberCipher on December 11, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Fairly unbalanced.
Really don’t give a crap about Hannity.
TheUnrepentantGeek on December 11, 2008 at 6:12 PM
Most of them aim to please you, the “estimable blogger”, as BK wrote.
She’d be good on the Special Report, as well as the “Hannity” panels, but not so good (alone) across Hannity. He’s a rant dog and steps all over her. He did the same with Colmes, not that Colmes did anything, ever, except read the (marching) notes from the Democratic Party.
Entelechy on December 11, 2008 at 6:13 PM
I guess we’ll find out after the season of “Way Out” debuts on Showtime.
m064404 on December 11, 2008 at 6:13 PM
“Shep doesn’t count”
*Cackle!!*
…I really need to stop reading this stuff @ work. No one else will appreciate this when I’m asked “what are you laughing at?”
flyawaybird on December 11, 2008 at 6:14 PM
KP is better mannered than O’Reilly. However, she’s not strong enough for Hannity. I’d like to see Paglia, but Hannity is not smart enough for her. I’d also like to see Carville, a good match for two bull dogs. However, they’d both shout incessantly, the entire time, until a hard brake would stop us from having to endure them.
Why do I care? Haven’t watched in a long time.
Entelechy on December 11, 2008 at 6:15 PM
Do they not realize how lame Hannity is? How about Hannity and Sexpert?
I have an idea… let Gene Okerlund be the host… let the viewers pick what topics they want to talk about and then fox producers find the guests… you let Gene interview one guest, then another[...]… then you just let them all go after each other… at the moment of his choosing, Mean Gene cuts out the mics and ends it with his own personal commentary…
ninjapirate on December 11, 2008 at 6:16 PM
Maybe Fox couldn’t find a liberal obnoxious enough to stand up to Hannity by quoting the New York Times and the Washington Post ad nauseam.
Kirsten Powers is good eye candy and articulate, but she comes across as too “moderate” to go up against Hannity.
Hannity solo will probably keep Fox’s conservative viewers, because he’s one of the best conservative journalists out there, but liberals might be afraid to go on his show because they won’t have Colmes to prop them up. Still, Hannity will have plenty of targets in an Obama Administration, while the rest of the media bow at the altar of the Anointed One.
Steve Z on December 11, 2008 at 6:16 PM
That really sucks.
True_King on December 11, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I’m trying to imagine a more snooze-inducing show.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmmmmm.
Test pattern? No, at least that has some variety.
Hmmmmm.
Uh . . .
Gimme a few minutes, I’m sure I’ll think of something . . .
Splashman on December 11, 2008 at 6:18 PM
“her sensibility” could be the very thing keeping her from the job.
abinitioadinfinitum on December 11, 2008 at 6:18 PM
PS–couldn’t they get Bob Beckel to replace Colmes?
Steve Z on December 11, 2008 at 6:18 PM
“Hannity” will include a “Great American Panel” of three nightly in studio guests — Kirsten Powers, Michelle Malkin and an “X factor.” The show will mix commentary, interviews and special segment like a “Hate Hannity Hotline.
I can dream can’t I.
meci on December 11, 2008 at 6:19 PM
Here: Now Hannity can take a day off -
Let not your heart be troubled.
You’re a great American.
At the end of the day.
Now repeat.
Wander on December 11, 2008 at 6:21 PM
I don’t think Fox much cares anymore. It’s been successfully painted as a conservative organization by the rest of the media and is pretty much bought by the public already.
amerpundit on December 11, 2008 at 6:23 PM
the poll should include “I don’t watch”…
Kaptain Amerika on December 11, 2008 at 6:23 PM
4 hours a day every day is all he asks? Oy!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on December 11, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Well put. If they put KP there they probably would draw at least some over from PMSNBC. That said, I’d much rather watch a show called Malkin and Powers.
nazo311 on December 11, 2008 at 6:23 PM
If Shep’s not gay he’s missing the best opportunity he ever had. Personally, I can’t stand the arrogant popinjay.
Charles Martel on December 11, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Fair and Balanced?
Even with Colmes no one could say that H&C was fair and balanced. Colmes was armed with DNC talking points and changing the subject, but it was still an unfair fight. He never could have made it Colmes and Hannity. But we stopped watching because of the constant interruptions and two people talking (yelling) at once. Who needs that? At least on HOT AIR there’s one post at a time!! We’ll give Hannity the benefit of the doubt and tune in when we can.
Christian Conservative on December 11, 2008 at 6:24 PM
How boring for us who know his format.
But my wife, on the other, is new to the conservative flock, just got satellite radio in her business car, and started listening to Hannity. She absolutely love him.
There is real opportunity for FNC all around. Think of all those new Republicans that Barry is going to create if he starts shoveling the wrong kind of change into the voting bloc that helped them win.
Scranton on December 11, 2008 at 6:25 PM
Bring Drudge back to replace Hannity’s America on Sundays!
I would’ve like Powers in to replace Colmes. The reason the show is good is the debates. Yes we have issues with Skeletor, but he reads his talking points well.
Powers would’ve pushed Hannity to become a better debater. I can’t stand how he goes on and on and on and the guest has to wait three minutes of Hannity talking to respond.
If I hear about Hannity’s Chevy Tahoe one more time…
jencab on December 11, 2008 at 6:26 PM
PM
FoxNews used to.
FNC used to be able to make the “fair and balanced” case, and I have defended them with a straight face.
With this new line up [Beck as well], I just can’t do that anymore. On one side of the coin we have MSNBC [and other to la lesser extent], and on the other, we have Fox.
Not “fair and balanced”.
toliver on December 11, 2008 at 6:28 PM
I like KP, she makes me feel good, she likes people, she is smart and has common sense — she might like me — I can tell, she should teach my kids.
But Entelechy and Steve Z have this right. KP can’t faceoff against Hannity. She doesn’t have enough of the coarse ideological bent or personal strength and barely makes it in intellect. On the other hand, a show with Carvel, Ayers or my pick, Sean Penn would probaby end in bloodshed.
IlikedAUH2O on December 11, 2008 at 6:28 PM
Honestly, I think Fox is making a mistake as well as Hannity. Hannity because he will soon wear thin possibly hurting not only his radio show but his TV show as well. Fox because the show needs a foil for the uni-dimensional Hannity. Hannity is nowhere near the talent that Rush is.
Beckel, Powers or any of a number of rational leftists could have added immeasurably to the show. Colmes was just plain unhinged.
Charles Martel on December 11, 2008 at 6:29 PM
I’ll gladly watch Hannity; he’ll be much better than O’Reilly, whom I will quickly stop watching now. O’Reilly is interesting only because he covers some interesting topics, but he is so much blowhard that his show is hard to take.
KP should replace Shep, who is so arrogant and full of himself, I almost think he is grooming himself as O’Reilly’s replacement.
Nessuno on December 11, 2008 at 6:30 PM
You got that right. I’d like to see Paglia anywhere basically just to watch her tear people up. Maybe put her with Dennis Miller somewhere. That could be entertaining to watch.
meltenn on December 11, 2008 at 6:32 PM
GOOD RIDANCE TO SKELETOR (Colmes)
Hannity can do a much better job on his own rather than team him up with some lame lefty.
Kuffar on December 11, 2008 at 6:34 PM
lol, I think that’s how he’s paying for it.
abinitioadinfinitum on December 11, 2008 at 6:34 PM
This doesn’t help Fox combat the liberal charge that the network is a conservative propaganda wing…. But who cares? Any intelligent and objective viewer would tell you that Fox News is definitely less biased than its competitors. Fox offers straight news and while the commentators are definitely more conservative than liberal, both viewpoints are represented. The show ought to work. It’ll definitely still be better than O’Reilly.
I’ve always thought the whole “You’re a great American” line was pretty stupid. He’ll say that to anyone who calls his show, before he knows one thing about them. I’d love to call in and get him to call me a great American, then proceed into a hate-filled anti-American rant punctuated with a confession of having slaughtered puppies and diddled children.
Sign of the Dollar on December 11, 2008 at 6:35 PM
The truth is they’re going from “Hannity and
ColmesHannity” to “Hannity”. You pay Hannity a bit more, subtract Colmes’ pay, and you got a good deal for these times.Entelechy on December 11, 2008 at 6:36 PM
You needed a fifth option: “I wouldn’t watch Hannity even if you cut off my eyelids and held my head in a vise grip.”
irishspy on December 11, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Hannity? Is he still on?
whitetop on December 11, 2008 at 6:42 PM
I don’t see why Hannity can’t just put a bow in his hair and speak the Dem talking points and then respond to his alter-ego.
Dan Collins on December 11, 2008 at 6:47 PM
And this is big news because … uh … never mind.
Jaibones on December 11, 2008 at 6:48 PM
“A Great American Panel”?? That is enough to keep me from ever watching. The “you’re a great American” schtick is so embarrassingly stereotypical, I can’t believe even Hannity does it. That’s the sort of thing someone like Colbert would do to make fun of somebody like Hannity.
DaveS on December 11, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Who has the coolest (?) hairstyle, Hannity or Blago?
whitetop on December 11, 2008 at 6:51 PM
It’s not a good deal if viewership falls off significantly, which I think will happen if the show no longer has a counterbalance to Hannity.
Red State State of Mind on December 11, 2008 at 6:52 PM
Hannity without Colmes is a better show.
Skandia Recluse on December 11, 2008 at 6:53 PM
The first time I heard Hannity, he was subbing for Rush. He is still immensely loyal to him, even though they fight for ratings. Of course, another famous Rush sub was the late, great Tony Snow. I sure do miss him. I think Sean’s show will be fine. With Glenn Beck joining them, Fox will stay strong. I just wish Brit wouldn’t retire.
Of course, like I said before, they could get Ed Schultz. But they would have to put an emergency exit on the set for those nights he would get ticked and leave.
kingsjester on December 11, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Colmes is infinitely annoying.
They should find a liberal who doesn’t make your teeth grate. KP would be good. Lanne Davis would be good.
Hannity’s rating will probably decline without a counter balance.
notagool on December 11, 2008 at 7:04 PM
Hell, you just did his whole act!
I might tune in for the commercials….
MrScribbler on December 11, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Hannity rants too much about negative stuff. Even if his topcis are important and timely, I find it hard to watch Hannity anymore. I was actually looking forward to Colmes having more say and time talking on the show with the Obama presidency. Too bad Colmes is leaving. KP would have been a good alternative. Hannity by himself is not worth watching-especially when he says the same thing day in and day out.
texasconserv on December 11, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Hannity has got to realize that he repeats himself all the time — if I hear about the Freedom Concerts one more time, I think I’m going to puke. I mean it’s a good cause, but come on!!! I think it would be a lot more interesting if he had a non-annoying liberal counter point (if such a person exists). Hannity’s America has got to be one of the worst shows on Fox!! Snoozeville. You’d think that the executives at Fox would realize that he needs a partner during the 9:00 time slot.
Callie C. on December 11, 2008 at 7:08 PM
I give the new format 6 weeks…but they can’t put people like KP across from him, she will make him look like a fool and he knows it.
I guarantee he vetoed most every person suggested to take Colmes place…
right2bright on December 11, 2008 at 7:18 PM
I love the guy. He is so supportive of our troops; loyal to Rush; and I can’t wait for Glen to come on.
Bambi on December 11, 2008 at 7:27 PM
Boring. H&C is boring most nights so him going solo with the usual rotation of talking heads is just not worth watching. I still watch F&F, Hemmer and Kelly and O’Reilly when he has Dennis Miller on. I gave up on H&C a long time ago. This will fail unless the balance him somehow and a panel won’t do it.
grdred944 on December 11, 2008 at 7:32 PM
First, Hannity has an Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. Which is the beginning of a line of tech improvements that are going to save the auto. Even if Detroit does not live to profit from it.
Second, I will give the new format a try. I think a change was overdue as people were tired of the unbalanced duo. The trouble with MSNBC’s weapon is, people do not really listen and Madcow manages to add sex (in a cold, sterile way) and humor (like an ice pick) to her show. She also uses parody and a snarky contempt that is disgusting but usually aces his flat attack questions and dearth of personal warmth.
Third, I wish Fox would continue to try to be fair and balanced. And not just when Bill O. makes nice with The One or that Chopra fop who has been all the rage lately. I hate to accuse him of working the ideology to the side for ratings but….
IlikedAUH2O on December 11, 2008 at 7:35 PM
My idea of diversity is that if FNC has Shep, who went to Ole Miss, they need somebody from Auburn and somebody else from UGA.
radjah shelduck on December 11, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Wasn’t it Ace who said, “Shorter Hannity: ‘Hannity’”?
Dan Collins on December 11, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Now that I’d pay to watch.
TheUnrepentantGeek on December 11, 2008 at 7:48 PM
Can we have a “Coulter’s America” on Sunday nights now? :-D
SouthernGent on December 11, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Now that would be great. I certainly don’t agree with her on all of the issues, but she is definitely entertaining and drives the liberals crazy, which I especially like.
Callie C. on December 11, 2008 at 8:17 PM
Sounds like ‘Huckabee’ to me…minus the Hate Hannity segment.
Get your own format Sean!
Rensen on December 11, 2008 at 8:30 PM
Really don’t care. I canceled my satellite service and quit watching television since the election. Life is very interesting without it all the media fog.
carbon_footprint on December 11, 2008 at 8:33 PM
I’ll watch about the same as before… can we get rid of Shep at 7pm EST… he’s totally lost his credibility as a serious news guy and that should be a serious news slot…
phreshone on December 11, 2008 at 8:36 PM
I told you so….:lol
dec5 on December 11, 2008 at 9:03 PM
There’s a reason Mike Savage calls him “Wallbanger”.
I was always told in graduate school that repetition is the key to mastering a subject………with Hannity? Dude. Serious overload.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on December 11, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Who cares if there are no women in the line-up? Who’s counting? But I do like the idea of an Ann Coulter hour.
As for Hannity, drop the idea of a “Hate Hannity Hotline”. I can’t stand when he (and O’Reilly) devote any time to what anyone says about them. That’s not news. That’s not interesting. It’s self-indulgent, petty, and boring.
CarolynM on December 11, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Fox doesn’t need to be fair-and-balanced….it needs to be as conservative as possible and beat down liberals 24/7/365.
I’ve all but given up watching it since O’Bloviating sold what was left of his soul for Team Obama.
ex-Democrat on December 11, 2008 at 9:29 PM
I don,t watch Hannity anymore he,s to buddy buddy with 2 many libs and his good friends Huckaboo and Gerald Rivers make me sick. PS Fox news is turning more left each day.
thmcbb on December 11, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Nobody grabs a bone like Hannity….he won’t let go of this Obama-Blago thing until it’s done. Unlike the Obama-media. He grates at times, sure, but he was way out in front on Rev. Wright.
ex-Democrat on December 11, 2008 at 9:34 PM
I like Sean and listen to about 15 minutes of his radio show everyday. But he is so repetitive that I can’t take it longer than that. He is going to have to have a serious line up of guests to keep this act going solo every night.
church on December 11, 2008 at 9:41 PM
KP?
Who cares, except for beta male bloggers living in their parent’s basement….
Right_of_Attila on December 11, 2008 at 9:45 PM
BOOOOO!!!!!!!
Well, I guess that frees up my 7 pm tv watching time slot.
I was totally rooting for Kristen Powers. Booo, to Fox…yet again.
And for God’s sake, SOMEONE tell Geraldo to at least ATTEMPT to be professional on tv. Calling Casey Anthony a “slut” has no place on national tv, regardless of how he feels about her personally.
LiquidH2O on December 11, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Agree. Shepard Smith should be toast. He is an unrepentant fool — and I’m holding back.
But I do like Powers. I really like Powers. Not quite enough of a sense of humor . . . but so what. She’ll get it, eventually. And when she does, she’ll be a conservative at heart.
Alan, on the other hand, is basically a jerk. She is a much more serious human being. She would lend credence much of what Sean says, but would keep him in tow on issues where he goes off.
Trochilus on December 11, 2008 at 9:51 PM
I can’t stand it when Hannity says, let not your heart be troubled. Just please make him stop that as well as saying in no matter, shape or form, and your a Great American. Then there was the 2006 elections when he kept saying Nancy Pelosi was measuring the drapes. I don’t know what he is going to come up with for Obama but whatever it is I don’t want to hear it 50,000 times a month. I like Sean he just needs to stop repeating the same phrases over and over.
church on December 11, 2008 at 9:58 PM
I only listen to Hannity for about half hour if I can handle it. I like him, but he bores me. I would rather listen to some Tool or some kick butt Blues. Hannity is a good guy. But I would rather listen to Rush, and Glen. Hell I will take Savage also. Actually Savage is bothersome at times. I am a music person any way. Won’t be watching his show that much.
sheebe on December 11, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Hannity, I used to like you and even Colmes. Just another example of Fox News jumping the shark. Sorry, I am not going to watch a man’s big ego get bigger!
BobAnthony on December 11, 2008 at 10:41 PM
I don’t get this Kirsten Powers things with many of you. Actually maybe I do, she’s on the “Team” with MM and others, which is fine. I think she’s maudlin on Television and isn’t a very good anchor.
Hannity has been mailing in his radio show for years, same crap everyday, same boring guests. Maybe this will give him a new lease and get his creative side back in order.
AYNBLAND on December 11, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Good Bye Skeletor
mindhacker on December 11, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Now mix in the 5000 references to the unrepentant terrorist and you have his entire show. I used to think I hated watching H&C because of all the shouting over another person, then I thought it was because Colmes was such a tool but then I realized that it was actually Sean all along.
I’m guessing he got fired from his past construction jobs because he wouldn’t stop hammering the same nail!
And where was the “Doesn’t matter, I’m still not going to watch” choice on the poll?
rmel80 on December 11, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Remember that old SNL sketch with Tom Hanks, “Mr. Short Term Memory“, where everything was new to him, all the time? That’s what a regular Sean Hannity listener would have to be, because he’s the most repetitive talk show host on radio. It’s like he gets his annual talking points, and hammers them into the ground, three hours a day.
His audience is clearly made up of fellow-travellers, so why does he always sound like a politician, trying to convince a group that his approach is the better one?
YYZ on December 12, 2008 at 12:09 AM
Truth is: Hannity without Colmes, and/or Colmes without Hannity……both are doomed.
Take the two, completely rearrange the format and seating and topics and special guest lineups, put them in a Round Table scenario, and it would be newer and fresh. There’s just something about that chemistry that works. Sort of like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Or Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Once they split up those others never individually really achieved the SuperStardom they’d enjoyed while paired up.
KendraWilder on December 12, 2008 at 12:56 AM
Probably way too much for one show, but how about matching Coulter, Ingraham, and Malkin on one show, one night a week? CIM: The Three Wise Women.
Consider a conservative version of The View. They can they have KP as their liberal foil whom they slap around at will.
Only liberal women guests would be allowed. On that theory, maybe it could be called The Lion’s Den. Think of the cat fights–male viewership would go through the roof.
Just an idea.
BuckeyeSam on December 12, 2008 at 1:37 AM
crikey…the show is dead w/only Sean doing his repetitive,whining shtick. If I hear one more time, I am not a republican but a Reagan conservative one more time…and yet show up to all the republican white house functions…I am going to die. Listen Sean, read these forums… you are boring.
Sergei on December 12, 2008 at 1:52 AM
Hannity is less than a “tier one” thinker. A vacuous buffoon at best.
dakine on December 12, 2008 at 2:25 AM
I stopped watching H&C because I couldnt stand Colmes. If I want liberal claptrap, I’ll go to The View or CNN. I think Kirsten Powers wouldnt have worked against Hannity – she’ s too much of an intellectual lightweight. He’d have her for lunch and she’d just give him that look like she’s trying (but failing) to come up with something to say.
abcurtis on December 12, 2008 at 7:56 AM
Yeah, dakine – and Colmes is a brain trust. Please.
abcurtis on December 12, 2008 at 7:56 AM
Bk? Is AP playing Blago for KP? Is there a quid pro quo?
Anything open for KP at SEIU? Does anyone have a flow chart?

The complaints about repetition are valid. But that’s the flip side of grabbing onto the ankle and repeatedly biting. If you want one, you get the other. Hannity isn’t my only news/punditry source, but if you are sick and tired of Republicans not fighting back, you can always turn on Hannity and get your faith back that the world hasn’t gone completely mad. Good luck Sean with the new show.
BY THE WAY, I’M FREE THIS WEEKEND IF YOU WANT ME TO COME OVER. RUSH NEVER GOT BACK TO ME.

I’ll tune in for the Hate Hannity hotline, but that’s it.

I think Hannity is a good man, but he is just not interesting enough for me to endure him for a whole hour. Ms. Powers would have made a fine counterbalance.
Actually, she might have outclassed him on several fronts…

Should have had a won’t watch at all choice.
I don’t watch H – C and wouldn’t watch Hannity by himself. 2 hours on the radio is often too much. He seems to lack the “gravitas” of many other hosts.

abcurtis, where in my post did I say anything about Colmes? He’s fairly lightweight. H&C is directed at the dumbsh*t wing of the conservative movement.

IN OTHER NEWS………I think the fearless ZO should be given his own show on FNC already. Hannity can start the ball rolling by having him on.
