(Admin Moderator -- please leave in Breaking News. Hannity holding up a FReeper sign is big breaking news after the recent little battle.)
===================================================
FReeper blurblogger just dropped me off a few minutes ago. We were at the 4-hour event in Redondo Beach, CA put on by the KABC talk show hosts.
When blurblogger gets home, he will be posting an amazing photo. He and I are in a picture with Sean Hannity, and Sean is holding up a sign that says I LOVE FREEPERS.
What a fun event. Doug McIntyre, Larry Elder, Al Rantel, Mr. KABC, Sean Hannity, and new overnight host Kevin James put on a great show for us. There were some sparks between McIntyre and Elder over free trade, outsourcing, and tariffs. There were also some sparks involving the lone liberal on the stage, Mr. KABC.
There were boos when DemocRATS were mentioned.
Although we disagree politically, I am going to give big kudos to the MC, Brian Whitman. Brian is indeed a lovable liberal. He was a little upset a few weeks ago when someone reported to him that I had called him a Kneepad Knight. Hey, it was in good fun. Just like Monica was literally on her kneepads, the liberals were figuratively doing the same for their guy. Brian accepted my explanation, and we are friends again.
For those who listen to Hannity on Friday afternoon, it is Brian Whitman doing the voices of Bush 41, Bush 43, Michael Jackson, and the guy who got impeached. Brian is funny as hell and is a great talent. If more libs had his talent and sense of humor, perhaps we would get along better. His Michael Jackson stuff is superb.
Blurblogger brought some sign material in his car, and got it and his magic marker at a break. We managed to eventually work our way to a front row seat and were in position to get with Hannity at a break. I introduced myself as FReeper Doug, and he asked why I haven't called in for awhile. Hey, I've tried, but the line is always busy.
Sean autographed blurblogger's I LOVE FREEPERS sign, and a guy took our picture with Sean holding it.
Look, if someone comes on this thread to bash Hannity, I am going to find you and rip your throat out. Really. Go do your own thread. Yes, Sean promotes his books. Good for him. That's capitalism, and you would promote yours if you had a book and marketing sense. I promoted my book, A CHILD'S EYE VIEW OF JOHN KERRY, by giving a few copies to them.
Sean is a great ally on our side. He exposes the left's hypocrisy, uses their own words against them, and gets in their faces. He also has helped raise millions of dollars for families of fallen warriors.
Good news for us, uncleshag. Sean is waiting for his copy of YOU'VE BEEN FREEPED, Vol. 1. So is Whitman.
By far the biggest round of applause during the evening was for a member of the audience. Captain Michael Pierce is returning to Mosul on Friday. He thought he had a month off, but they cut it two weeks short. There was a big time standing O for the captain. At the end of the program, he was called up on stage. Michael happened to be at the Hollywood FReep recently. Godspeed, Michael. Go kick some more butt and make it home safely.
Did any other FReepers attend?
Stay tuned. The picture will probably be up by about midnight.
This reminds me of the teaser in KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE --- nuclear missiles headed for the U.S.................details at 11.
I can't stay awake,
but I'll be back.
soon,...
I drank a LOT of water.
LOL!
Charades while we wait, anyone? : )
You'll be laughing at this tomorrow.
If anything should ever be deleted from Breaking News (if only to retain the sanctity of real breaking news), then this is that thing.
Bonsoir!
You made your comment about midnight in 27, then I responded. No Carnac here.
By the way, Doug, great post.
No matter how anybody feels about Sean, it is important to remember that he is a great warrior for the good guys, and his "Hannitization tour" ABSOLUTELY helped Dubya in the November election, particularly with regard to turnout.
I'm laughing now.
BSF - please entertain my friend WVR.
Bunny shadows on the wall? :)
Sounds like...Hump? Humphrey Bogart! "Treasure of the Sierra Madre!"
Danny is doing his Wednesday night show
Off into the sunset all the FReepers are watching him go
That partisan hack...he spent his years pushing his leftist views
It was quite amazing...people thought he was doing news
Danny, your Memogate scandal...is how you're finally nailed
You angered your execs...they suggested you bail
Dan, you are a phony...and so full of your baloney
Danny, wave goodbye...please say "courage," then cry-y-y-y-y
Danny still will not admit they were fake
Even though the whole world knows, he's stubborn and never will break
That partisan hack...he spent his years pushing his leftist views
It was quite amazing...people thought he was doing news
Danny, your Memogate scandal...is how you're finally nailed
You angered your execs...they suggested you bail
Dan, you are a phony...and so full of your baloney
Danny, wave goodbye...please say "courage," then cry-y-y-y-y
Castro has offered the evening news chair
We know that the commies will consider him balanced and fair
That partisan hack...he spent his years pushing his leftist views
It was quite amazing...people thought he was doing news
Thanks for posting this! It is excellent breaking news regarding the 'Great American'. Can't wait to see some photos from the event!
Bottle of wine...that will do fine
Kids are fun when they are not sober
We will have fun...it's just begun
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
I have things planned...here at Neverland
When I have the chance, hands go down their pants
They love me 'cause I am famous
What kind of parent let's them stay here
The kind who just can never think clear
Bottle of wine...that will do fine
Kids are fun when they are not sober
We will have fun...it's just begun
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
Though they may talk...I know I will walk
Just one OJ juror I'm needing, needing
My lawyer's hot...Mark Geragos, not
I'm glad he is not the one pleading
Usually naked, always aroused
I'm sure they find it impressive
I make my point, and don't have to shout
It's easy, I just let it hang out
Bottle of wine...that will do fine
Kids are fun when they are not sober
We will have fun...it's just begun
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
Bottle of wine...that will do fine
Kids are fun when they are not sober
We will have fun...it's just begun
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
Bottle of wine...that will do fine
Kids are fun when they are not sober
We will have fun...it's just begun
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
Mom and dad, let them sleep over
Come on, how long are you going to tease us. Post the damn thing!
I just had a horrible thought. What if I fell asleep at the keyboard several hours ago and just dreamed all of this?
LOL. Sean is a sweetheart.
I guess he just had that bad day, huh Jim? He knows that your response showed class.
I was there. I got to meet Larry Elder, right before they closed the building. He signed my copy of his book "The Ten Things You Can't Say in America", with the phrase "Hard work wins!"
A great night.
Okay, buddy. I'm not taking the fall for this. It is after midnight. Oh, sorry, FReepers. I ran out of gas. Sorry, FReepers, I hit all the red lights. Sorry, FReepers, I got stopped for speeding. That isn't gonna cut it. :)
