Ah, but would Sean allow Joe to get a word in edgewise?
“Ah, but would Sean allow Joe to get a word in edgewise?”
No.
Yeah. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve yelled at Hannity to shut up.
A guest starts making perfect sense, some new bit of info with a brilliant piece of logic to back it up and just as the the guest starts to put a bow on it.
Hannity’s “They sound smarter than me, it’s my show” tick kicks in.
“would Sean allow Joe to get a word in edgewise?”
He’s still not as bad as Lou Dobbs when it comes to filibustering the guests.
Anyhow, Sean should get Toensing and Degenova on together to discuss the current scandals. They were great together (I think it was) during the Lewinsky-Clinton thing. They must have an interesting marriage.

When he starts one of his one-hour-long "questions" I press my mute button. When I finally see his jaws stop flapping, I instantly turn the sound back on again.
I can tell from the answers he gets what his predictable repetitive questions were, so nothing's lost to me. It works !
To boot, his over-talking and interruptions disrupt his guests' narratives and serve to throw their timing and trains-of-thought off.
Why he hasn't learned to harness this incredibly annoying trait of his after years of professional interviewing, I don't know. It has to be a latent ego-urge that he's incapable of controlling.
Other than that, I never miss his show. His redeeming values of excellent conservatism, grit, doing exposes, forthright talking, truth-telling and genuine earnestness plus featuring interesting/valuable guests and analysts outweigh my complaints....all with the help of my "mute button", of course.

No. You know your Sean well.
