ALERT: Hannity THREATENS TO LEAVE New York Over Cuomo's Remarks On 'Extreme Conservatives'




Aaaaah......poor little weasel.......



Conservative radio and Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday threatened to leave New York over remarks Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) made last week that "extreme conservatives" don't have a place in the state.


"I want you to know that and I can’t wait to get out of here," Hannity said on his radio show. "I really can't. I don't want to pay their 10 percent state tax anymore. I live in the second-highest property-taxed county in the entire country in Nassau County. I can't wait to sell my house to somebody who wants it. I can't wait to pay no state income tax down in Florida or Texas."



Hannity addressed the governor and said that he will take his money and business elsewhere.

"Gov. Cuomo, I'm going to leave and I'm taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny," he said. "And by the way governor, because I work here – there's a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I'm sure you'll take care of them."


Whaaaaaaaaa ...


Cuomo's office sent out a statement Saturday clarifying that the governor did not mean to say conservatives were not welcome in New York, but rather that "extreme" conservatives could not win elections there. Hannity, however, is already weighing his options for a new location. "I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning Florida because I like the water and I like to fish," he said Monday. Hannity would not be the first conservative radio host to ditch New York. Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck both left the state for Florida and Texas, respectively.

I would have thought that he was insufficiently introspective to realize it, and too big a liar to admit it.

Assume he moves to Florida. They have T1 lines there to route digital audio and internet data to New York...and Palin proved you can do television from remote locations.

Simply stated: if Hannity can buy a house with a sun porch to broadcast from and a spare bedroom his clothes and mirror could be put in, there is no reason any job loss need occur.

Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity

Too bad his core audience has no idea how great he has it under NY union safeguards for TV/ radio personalities.

and then pull th truck in front of FoxNews studios with a giant banner on it that says, "No problem, Sean! We'll help you pack!"

That would be worth the one day price of Uhaul truck + Gas!

If he cared anything at all about NYC he never would have based his hatefest there to begin with.

Doesn't he know that there is a shoreline and fish in Texas too?

Do you think that, since he doesn't have to pay taxes in FL or TX, he will use this disposable income to trickle down to the poors in his chosen state of residence?
