I listen to Rush on WMAL over the Internet. Hannity follows him so occasionally I hear him.
I've never like Hannity much in that he very amateurish in how he interviews people. His one redeeming point is he has the best guests on talk radio.
Anyhoo the thing that irritates me the most about Hannity, besides that bit about loving his own voice, is his freaking weird obsession with that staff member of his. He did nothing but go on and on about her wedding, how she should come to him if she wants out...and even now, now that she's married, he constantly quizzes her about fights and stuff.
I snap the radio off toot de sweet when Hannity starts with this stuff. It's positively perverted.
Lookit, if Hannity thought the fellow would bring a beloved staff member pain and anger, if he was concerned for her happiness, if he wanted to offer a hand should she have reservations....SHOULD HE BE DOING IT ON A NATIONAL RADIO SHOW? Couldn't he have taken the child aside and spoke to her quietly and confidentially?
There's serious competition coming along cause Hannity mostly succeeded so well because of the timing. Hannity followed in the shadows of Rush's coat tails. Now we have Steyn and others all waaaaaay better than Hannity and without the obsessions of the love lives of staffers.
I had almost forgotten about his "freaking weird obsession with that staff member of his. He did nothing but go on and on about her wedding, how she should come to him if she wants out.."
I haven't listened to him in quite a while and didn't know he was still talking about that poor staff member.
Geez! Glad I'm missing that.
We get Steve Malzberg on WOR radio at 4PM. He has outstanding guests. He’s informed, doesn’t talk over the guests and has dems on to debate.
The program is informative and doesn’t leave me with a headache.
Sean....ugh
