Who cares? I was responding to you.

"Each day is filled with air time and promotion of his many interests."
Like his book? And do you think he is busier than Rush? No, just not as smart. And btw...these guys don't do the research, their staff people do.

"I like Sean doing what Sean does best."
And to many of us what he does best is promote hannity.
You're probably a genuinely nice person whose heart is firmly in the right place (I mean this sincerely). Hannity has his audience. But he works the patriotic emotions of that audience in a way that is grating and that is designed to maximize his earnings. I have seen him go too soft too often with too many libs and then become the pit bull again once they're off the air. I stopped watching the TV show years ago when Hillary was on but only took questions from Alan. Hannity sat on his hands like a good little boy. I thought that was particularly spineless.
And, we agree absolutely about Rush.
Well apparently you don't know the rules of the interviews on H&C.
When a prominent lib (esp. a Hillary) comes on - they are only interviewed by the lib - no Sean allowed. When a prominent conservative comes on - they only have Sean - no questions/comments from Alan.
Those are the rules. Sean has interviewed the president, vice-president (I forget exactly who). These are special interviews filmed earlier and played on the show - possibly on more than one day.
But - you will never see Hannity get anywhere near Hillary on that show.
That is not the fault of Hannity that is just the only way those guests will appear.
Now - I am tired of talking about fairness for Sean. Go ahead and take cheap shots at a man who worked hard, used his talents to get four hours of prime air time daily. Nobody gave it to him, nobody keeps it for him - he is the one using his talents to earn a living. More power to him.
While he is doing it - he is also reaching millions of people with the heartland values and conservative views - no matter whether you like how he does it or not.
Smart? He is pretty darned smart to come from nothing to become a multi-media conservative pundit. Not intelligent enough for you? Turn on one who is.
Sean is a promoter and will work in the arena that is comfortable for him. Rush does not do on-site radio shows, does not have guests, does not run yearly soldier-family benefits. Sean likes that area and it fits his talents.
We need all of these men working as hard as they can to reach who they can and I am thankful that they find a way to do it successfully. They are not elected officials, they are not charity workers - they are personalities.
