How is that ?
The thing with Hannity is that its all about Hannity.
What gets me is the nicknames. They might be cute or funny once or twice, but it becomes annoying. Like Rahm Rahmbo Deadfish Emmanuel.
Before Fox, Hannity did local mornig radio in Atlanta. He sucked. No original thoughts, no original schtick...dead and buried in the Arbitron book (he was up against Boortz...he never had anything nice to say about Boortz). He left WGST and ends up on WABC and Fox. I stumbled on his radio show aprox one year later - and I thought I was hearing the afternoon guy on WGST...a guy by the name of Kim Peterson (the Kimmer)! The Kimmer had great talent with a ton of original radio schtick including nicknames, a segment called “flush the lines”...and I’m hearing Sean using the Kimmer’s schtick right down to the intonation of his voice (copying the Kimmer). Hannity has never had an original thought in his entire life. He grabs on to a phrase and repeats it over and over (caliphate is his new favorite after Beck dug it up...remember “rape rooms”?). I wish Fox would replace him. I just don’t watch.
