So did he apologize? I really have a hard time listening to him for any length of time. Sean is cute, and he's enthusiastic, but.... He sounds more like he's quoting lines someone told him than like he's actually thought through what he's saying, and he's more interested in what he has to say than in what his guests have to say.

Thank you so very much! You hit the nail on the head! In my opinion, that is Sean's biggest weakness (that and his irritating self-righteousness). And it is a huge problem for conservatives, because as a result of his poor skills, the general public does not get to see and hear the depth of many of our conservative folks.

Before the election he would interview John O'Neill of the Swifties, he never let John talk enough, and at that time in our history, it was very important that John be heard! Sean was constantly more interested in his own thought or his next question than hearing John. Sean is a very poor choice to be listening to if you want to learn what the other person has to say. Sean's poor skills and self-centeredness hurt the cause, if I may use that word.

Have you ever seen Brian Lamb on C-Span's 'Booknotes'? He interviews writers. That guy knows how to do an interview. That is something Sean should try to learn! It would be very helpful to all of us.

(Gee, I hope this wasn't an attack.)

He's like the spoiled child whose parents think he is SO smart and SO cute and won't tell him to be quiet and go play with the children.

In the end, those children end up annoying the dickens out of both the adults and the other children.
