He also tonight espoused the incongruous position (in the same sentence!) that he’s in favor of raising the minimum wage “to help the folks” but disagrees with increasing paid overtime eligibility saying it will necessarily result in the loss of jobs in a “capitalist system.” Huh?

My impression of O'R and Hannity has always been that neither is terribly sharpt. I have long believed that O'R is a liberal who determined to make a lot of money in talk tv and radio. He is bright enough to know that you can't do that as a leftist so he adopted a conservative persona. It slips occasionally when he remarks about something for which he has not previously determined the conservative position. He has no philosofical basis for his conservatism so never knows which side of an issue he should take without researching it first. Sometimes he fails to do the research.
Hannity's heart is in the right place but he is just dumb. He insists on debating with lefty callers but he almost always misses the caller's point and comes off looking second best. He is definitely not a Constitutional scholar.
