Congratulations to Mr. Sean Hannity, who has hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list after his first week of his "Let Freedom Ring" book tour. Now, the #2 Republican in Washington is now "urging" Sean to run for public office (reported by Drudge on the Hannity Radio Show.)

Sean said yesterday on his show that he was a conservative first

He lied, he's a neocon

White Zinfandel sippin', show tune listenin', Fire island vacationin', poodle ownin', designer label wearin', Elton John worshipper.

Not that there's anything WRONG with that

well considering their reaction will be to go thermonuclear at that suggestion, i am LMAO and tickled pink that you asked that!!!

[xsmommy]

i hadn't heard it either, but feel pretty dang sure he doesn't have any sugar in his tank. i heard him speak at CPAC and was dying to have a chance to meet him, but it wasn't to be. i am still hoping!

[mafree]

Some use the term "sweet" as a synonym for "gay." The "tank" is... I'm sure you can guess.

[mafree]

Also, it's a somewhat older term sand more commonly used among Blacks so if you're under 35 and/or white I can see why you'd wonder what it means.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Although I would love to see him run for office, it is more important for him to fight the battle in the media.

Agreed. Sean is a very valuable spokesman -- very difficult for the lamestream to demonize.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Actually, conservative authors often appear on the best seller list.

I think that is because liberals don't actually read books. They just look at pretty pictures (of ANWR, etc.) and commence to "feeling", which is their forte.

BTW, isn't Ann Coulter currently at #1 at the NYT? That would make the case that substantially conservative authors are at #1 and #3 this week. This must infuriate the NYT Editorial Board and other management groups. Their conundrum is that no one wants to hear from the libs, which is why they have to lie and cheat to stay in the game.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I wonder how his sidekick Alan Colmes feels about Hannity's popularity. When their show started on FNC, Colmes was the one with a nationally syndicated radio show but it was dropped a few years ago. Now Hannity is rising, with a popular book, a popular radio show, and adoring fans.

Good point. Might I recommend Sean start wearing a bullet proof vest on the set of H&C.

White Zinfandel sippin', show tune listenin', Fire island vacationin', poodle ownin', designer label wearin', Elton John worshipper.

So only whiskey drinkin', white-water raftin', cougar-as-house-pet-lovin', wrangler-wearin', Lynyrd-Skynyrd worshippin' conservatives are worth anything? We need 'em all, pardner, to get the word out. Hope the weather's OK out there in God's country.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

2. He's so flaming, I would need an asbestos suit, and I don't own one...

He happens to be a Christian and a family man.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

When I do buy Hannity's book it will be to someday pass it on to a liberal friend.

One of the best things that you can do to help your liberal friends. Do it often. :O)

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Hobbes! We got our first convert! Steve50 thinks he's gay too.

Wonder what Sean's wife and child would have to say about that.

[brat]

WOW! Go Hannity!

[CholeraJoe]

So only whiskey drinkin', white-water raftin', cougar-as-house-pet-lovin', wrangler-wearin', Lynyrd-Skynyrd worshippin' conservatives are worth anything?

Did I say that? One of my best friends is Log Cabin. Oh, and you forgot pickup truck drivin'.

Hope the weather's OK out there in God's country.

So far so good. First snow last year was September 6.

[Marysecretary]

Allright!!!

[paulklenk]

I predidct by 9/11 it'll be at number one.

Any takers? Place your bets, monkeys.

[AmericanInTokyo]

But didn't Bob Bauman, too?

[paulklenk]

predidct = predict

("Predidct" sounds like what you do before putting a flying dinosaur on trial...)
