Rush is trashing Hannity and O'Rielly(not by name) for beating up the author of the new Hillary book and I'm loving it!
Anyone agree?
I agree you got that date wrong.....
That is utterly false. He's talking about certain bloggers and New York Post, no doubt.
LOL! No kidding....
My bad!
Mod could you please correct the date in this post, thanks.
He's talking more about the right talking heads that want the media and the DC elite to "like" them more. Hannity doesn't really care what the left, nor the media, nor the DC types think about him. He tells it like it is, while keeping in perspective that he has to have guests and not insult them every time the come on his show. So what if he doesn't like parts of the book, he still had Klein on both of his shows. He didn't cancel him like many did.....
I diagree with your characterization in the title but agree that every thinking American ought to hear the segment for themselves. They NEED to hear the TRUTH about how the mainstream media purposefully slants their coverage of events so as to bring about the result that THEY want!
I read the transcipts and he was pretty tough on Klein as has been others eg National Review, John Podhoretz, Dick Morris etc.

I didn't think Hannity was "beating up" on the guy. I think he was merely playing devil's advocate to give the author ample opportunity to respond. O'Reilly? Who is that? I stopped watching that jerk long ago.
Hi Mark, LOVE you're book, thank you.
In listening to Sean yesterday that's the feeling I had(maybe I missed the nuance). That he was trying to discredit the author, am I wrong, did you hear the show?
O'Reilly just equated him to Kitty Kelly and dismissed the whole idea. Strange attitude for an author.
I don't think a very large percentage of Rush's listeners are really up on "certain bloggers and the NY Post"
O'Rielly was. Part of his Clintonian triangulation strategy.
Good point
Hannity was trying to elicit information to see if this guy is legit. "How many sources" is a fair question.
However Hannity cries about the obvious bias but can not wait to suck up to all his media buddies on the air lik Russert, David Gregory, ad nauseum
Maybe I'll try that, sounds like a plan, LOL :-)
When does he have the time?
Every time I've turned his show on in the last two weeks, it's Aruba, Aruba, Aruba.
I don't stick around long after that, so I guess it's possible he's able to squeeze some other topic in between these critical updates from Aruba.
I watched his interview on Hannity and Colmes last night, and thought Hannity was needlessly rude. He interrupted Klein so often that I found myself yelling at the screen telling Hannity 'to shut and let the man speak.' I have a feeling Hannity was trying to give the impression he didn't approve of the book because he kept repeating what Dick Morris had said about Republicans helping Hillary by repeating old stories. Morris has a point, but I'm not sure I trust Morris yet, and he's been wrong more often than he's been right lately.
He's kissing up for the interview he'll never get from her highness, pathetic.
From whom is Rush reading right now?
