Sean Paul

Every so often (more frequent than not) I find myself ruefully muttering, "I don't think they know what hypocrisy IS." Today, I saw a clip of a giddy, misguided hoard of Ron Paulistas harangue Sean Hannity right out of a restaurant, mid-ingestion, to the Generation-X-defining chant of, "Fox News Sucks!"

Class.

Surprisingly, my first thought was not, "Man, Hannity's a dick. Good for them." Quite the opposite. I could only ruminate on the quirks of this brand of "liberal activism" that fires a slug into its own foot. A shill and a quack though he may be, Hannity is not worth an unpaid tab. These Paulites are apt to cast Hannity as an insidious and deleterious propagandist, but....it's Fox News. Hell! Let's broaden that - it's cable news! Just one step away from MTV, and one channel away from Nancy Grace!

Do you accuse the parrot of echoing the master, or do you go to the source?

I'll answer that. The source. The parrot just needs to be caged in a dark room, aka a blank television screen. You don't take the parrot out back and shoot it. He just wants a cracker. With caviar.

Furthermore, Paul supporters (above all) should recognize that cable news is infotainment, where ratings dictate precedence, and Hannity is just an uber-faux-patriot-pawn on a much grander stage.

Really, have you seen the size of this guy's EGO?! It's bigger than O.J.'s Simpson's debt to society. See for yourself. Just watch the closing segment of Hannity's America on Sunday night. The square-jawed egolomaniac carts a life-size cardboard cutout of himself across the country so that regular cock-eyed Joes can tell him face-to-cardboard-face how much they sing his regular American praises. Seriously, I've never seen a single malicious or remotely caustic remark made by his "random sampling" of good, old-fashioned Americans. (Approach Hannity's America as though it were the Daily Show, and, voila, it becomes hilarious.) G'bless.
