"Sean's probably a good guy, like everyone says, but his show holds zero interest for me. I just flat got tired of it."

I can respect that. We each have our own tastes. But I just don't understand the type of criticism Hannity gets here at FR. It goes beyond just disliking his style to attacking him as a person.

BTW, I haven't heard him mention one of his books in ages, and that's one thing I get tired of hearing here at FR, that he keeps hyping his books. He certainly talked about them over the time that he wrote them and they were published, but that's part of authoring a book: marketing them once they hit the shelves. No publisher in its right mind would publish a book if the author wasn't willing to do that.

Perhaps this is over analysing it, but I think maybe Sean's boy-next-door likeableness ultimate works against him for some of us, once we have had enough.

He is, IMHO, pretty much of an empty suit, but he is certainly on our side and so I long repressed my dissatisfaction with him. Since I finally looked unsentimentally at the actual quality of his work, I have had a tendency to be a little unkind to him.

It may be true that he is not hyping his books as much any more but the snippets I catch of his act are a nonstop hype machine for the ~next~ segment. With Sean, the thing that is really worth listening to always just over the horizon.

Taking just a moment for fairness....I believe that Sean led the pack in the routing of that dispicable Warren Community College English instructor. Kudos.
