Hmm... interesting. So would you consider switching your vote to the Green Party?

I'm wondering if Jason thinks staying true to the party no matter how bad it gets is silly only when that party is symbolized by an elephant.

The point is to point out the hypocrisy of the very conservatives who wanted this guy in office when they are the first to cry foul whenever a celebrity speaks up against Bush.
I know - I got it.

I was just asking a related question because I had not heard anything bad about Arnold

This is a springboard from what you're saying and not exactly a rebuttal to it, because of course Hannity is not fair and balanced in himself. He does, however, have a liberal commentator sharing the bill with him on FoxNews. I believe the concept was his idea, wasn't it? At least it was an idea he embraced. And I admire that gesture towards fairness. But some people act like the guy eats babies.

He doesn't eat babies, he's just a vicious liar.

And to say that having Colmes on that show balances things out is ludicrous, IMO. Media watchdog groups have done studies where it has been shown that Hannity gets to ask more questions, has more face-time, and on average, 13 minutes more than Colmes gets. And Colmes is so meek that he couldn't make a point if he tried. Plus, he's forced to read those hideously biased teleprompter scripts. I loved it when Susan Estrich (welcome back from the Dark Side, Linda!) was on and refused to read from it.

Hannity has been proven as a liar. He shouts questions and doesn't shut up for the answers. He's an asshole.

I've watched a total of three minutes of this show. Three minutes I'll never get back. What an asshole.

Exclamation Well...

I would rather pay to see Bruce, REM, Pearl Jam & company than to see the musical acts that are pro-Shrub:

Kid "Flavor for the weak" Rock
Jess-i-DUH Simple-son
Toby "Mulle-mulle-mulle-mullet man" Keith

Brian j.
