One of the reasons opposing "genious" has been able to blow this "turnip" out of the water is because the left have no real substantive arguments to make lucent points with.
There are no Bill Bennett's or Next Gingrich's on the liberal side making arguments for them. Christopher Hitchens was probably the lefts best voice, but since he actually has a working brain inserted into his cranium and doesn't oppose the Iraq war and understands terrorism, he is now a pariah to the left. That leaves the Dem's with left wing loons speaking for them.
Sean is a "Great American" and I did say he comes off with an IQ as a turnip, but that was to me, I'm not an intellectual giant by no means, but I an well informed and find Sean shtick a little tiresome
I understand he does a wonderful job smacking down the moon bats of the left.
But Sean's job is to communicate, convert, empathize, and relate. Something he does arguably better than anyone other than Rush.
Sure, Sean gets a bit carried away with his routines, but "intelligence" can't always be measured via articulation, command of the language, or debating skills either. Otherwise the President would be behind the counter at a 7-11.
I would classify Hannity as an earnest simpleton. Ok for rallying the masses of the converted, but for intellectual debate look elsewhere.
