Think Hannity's aware of the irony of complaining about people who attack their own?

Say, why are so many of today's conservative commentators such loud-mouthed, sarcastic, adolescent jerks? I mean, Rush was fine back when there was only one of him. But what happened to people like William F. Buckley and William Safire, who knew the meaning of the word "subtlety" (probably even knew how to spell it, which I don't)? I can't remember the last time I saw anybody under 60 on TV (except on Nova, Jeopardy and reruns of Hee-Haw) I thought was smarter than me -- and I don't mean to imply I think I'm some kind of genius, far from it. (There are plenty of people posting here that I KNOW are WAY smarter than I am.)

You think suburban housewives and trendy me-too conservatives are going to listen to Buckley? Please. To them, Hannity is an intellectual, and those little infomercials he sells with his picture on the cover are books! Go figure. You should check out www.uncommonknowledge.org. They have archived shows on video and trancsripts. You can browse show topics. Pretty interesting stuff. Definitely beyond the moron Hannity level.
