Hannity Stalks Baldwin

Marginal talk radio host Sean Hannity couldn't contain himself when Alec Baldwin refused to come on his show. He called in to Brian Whitman's show when Baldwin was the guest with apparently, the sole purpose of cementing his reputation as the most unhinged Bush shill this side of Rush Limbaugh.

His three hours a day of republican advocacy plus his Fox show are evidently not enough--he's determined to stand out from the rest of the right fringe and prove that he alone is the most devoted sycophant of the administration in the country. He should be commended for his initiative. One listen to his advertising tells you his opinion is for sale--Coulteresque antics like the one below may be demeaning to him personally, but his rates are sure to rise. An irresistable train wreck to be sure:

H: “Alec, I wanted to give you an official WABC welcome considering you were supposed to come on my program last week and you didn't show up. What happened?”

B: “No, I wasn't supposed to come on your program, Sean Hannity.”

H: “No, actually you were supposed to come on the program because a deal was made with your agent that if you were going to come on with Brian, first you'd come on with me.”

B: “I wouldn't dream of coming on your program, Sean Hannity. I'm here with Brian. I'm here with a really talented broadcaster.”

H: “That you are, you don't tell the truth.”

B: “Why would I want to come on the show with a no-talent, former construction worker hack like you?”

H: “Are you the guy that said of our vice president, while we're at war, while we're leading troops in harm's way - are you the reckless, third-rate Hollywood actor who said that Dick Cheney is a terrorist? Are you the guy?”

B: “Yes I am.”

H: “... who said to stone Henry Hyde to death? Are you the guy who said our president is a CIA mass murderer? I wanted you to come on the program and defend that, you gutless coward.”

B: “At first I thought this was a joke. But you can hear all the acid venom spewing hatred. It is Sean Hannity!”
