I've just noticed 700 WLW's Willie Cunningham began saying "I'm not a great American, I'm a grateful American."

How long before Hannity steals that phrase too?

Thoughts?

Apples to oranges ... It's used as a play on words against the original phrase.

good deal!

I just received an email from someone with a cool quote (don't buy it, but cool nonetheless).

"An artist doesn't steal, he borrows."

Sounds like he's been reading Eliot.

"Bad poets imitate. Good poets steal." T. S> Eliot certainly picked up many elements of many other sources, but he always used them in such a way as to make them his own.

I regret that Willie has reduced his usage of "Gimme a full report!"

Hannity used to chide his Cincinnati callers for using the 'great American' phrase....now Hannity is wearing it out.
