Haniity's the asshole at the corner bar, the Cliff Claven from "Cheers," easily ignored.

But Carlson was the kid in school most likely to receive a daily wedgie. Hannity has a cocky faux-arrogance, a manufactured tough guy, but Carlson has a shrill, whiny sense of privilege that could only come from the product of a family that made a fortune selling TV dinners.

My daughter cracks up at him - my folks watch his show (Fox News all day) and when she has a week with my mom the trip home always includes a discussion of Tucker.

They are writing their name in indelible capitals along side the most notorious propagandists in all history. They are leaving their children and grandchildren a legacy of shame. They are so blinded by their hatred that they are oblivious to fact they will be held in infamy for all time. They will be considered as being in the same vain as despicable men who ever scandalized their profession. They are in the same class of those who protected the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Mao who were pathetic subhuman beings without a shred of decency.

There's a potentially devastating storm barreling toward this country. The Southwest is frying. There's an epidemic of mosquito-borne disease. The economy is starting to circle the bowl. But, he only cares about fucking Hannity and fucking cable ratings??? A pox on everyone who is allowing this useless syphilitic fuckstick to squat in our White House.

I think our Least Favorite President was trying to make a joke. Ed Sullivan famously used to say "a really big shoe;" this was the line guys like Rich Little used to immediately identify Sullivan. The trouble is that only those of us in Trump's age group will get the "joke" and he will come out with more injured airs about how we should all get a sense of humor.

Besides, look at your keyboard: the "E" is right next to the "W." Clearly, Trump mistyped yet again. He's so great he doesn't have to proofread before hitting send. (snark)

In any event, Trump is an idiot.

And so is Hannity. All he cares about are his ratings and the size of his crowds. He really thinks this is all just a big reality TV show with him as the star. He doesn't give a damn about what else is going on in the world or how much he is fucking it up. It's all a big joke to him.

Sat Aug 31, 2019, 09:30 AM
Aug 2019

That statement: "those that are Fair (or great) to your favorite President, me!" Is a slice of stupid and crazy selfish.

He fails to grasp the proper use of the English language. He was trying to imply shows that treat him fairly do better...So, why didn't he just say that? Because his stupidity prevents it.

Why the capitalization of "fair"? He wants to emphasize it but he's too stupid to figure out another way beside capitalization to do it. Then he changes what he is describing in the parentheses. He was describing the shows but being a psychopath he suddenly realizes he's talking about NOT him. So being lazy stupid, he adds the way overused and meaningless adjective "great" referring now to himself.

Being a psychopath, he claims he's our favorite president. But being stupid, he thinks most people won't understand he is saying he's the favorite. So, he adds "me" after the self agrandozing.

He is the perfect example of what it takes to be successful in a capitalist economy.....nothing, just inherit.

The best watched news show here in Denmark has more than half a million viewers - about ten percent of our tiny population. Compare this to your "popular ones", with just a few million viewers in total - less than ONE percent of the population. And yes, Denmark has a handfull of competing TV channels.

"This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog" and threw his shoes at then-U.S. president George W. Bush during a Baghdad press conference.

"When I threw the shoe in the face of the criminal, Bush, I wanted to express my rejection of his lies, his occupation of my country, my rejection of his killing my people. My rejection of his plundering the wealth of my country, and destroying its infrastructure. And casting out its sons into a diaspora.
After six years of humiliation, of indignity, of killing and violations of sanctity, and desecration of houses of worship, the killer comes, boasting, bragging about victory and democracy. He came to say goodbye to his victims and wanted flowers in response."
