Hannity named ‘radio personality’ of the year.»

The National Association of Broadcasters announced today that right-wing talker Sean Hannity, who also hosts two shows on Fox News, has “won his second Marconi award, as best syndicated national radio personality.” Phil Boyce, the program director of WABC, Hannity’s home station, said “Sean wakes up every morning with a show screaming to get off his chest.”

    Sounds like the poor bastard in Alien…


  3. Badmoodman Says:

    Relax, this is like TIME Magazine in 1939 naming Adolf Hitler their Man Of The Year.

    Oh we’re fine. Just waiting for the trolls to finish Rush’s happy ending massage.

    ok this actually made me LOL!


  8. SP Biloxi Says:

    I guess we can all cry out “voter fraud” on asswipe Hannity to receive any award for ‘radio personality.’ Twice? Sounds like a Bush stolen Presidencies.

    Does anyone have a communicator so I can scream “Beam me up, Scotty!!!”


  10. lefty Says:

    It’s just fresh material for his Spank Bank. Move over, Sheehan!


  11. celtic cynic Says:

    Methinks he wakes up every morning with a screaming hangover.

    Look on the bright side, maybe Colmes won’t have to be the pitcher tonight.

    Frickin’ hilarious.

    Ironically, the award resembles a black dildo


  17. Perry logan Says:

    If Hannity did anything to help swing America to the left, he deserves an award. Thanks, big guy!


  18. Buckie Boy Says:

    Oh yuck, not at all, Hannity is an idiot blowhard. Who voted on this, GW666 and the Dick(head)?

    Buck Fush


  19. APEC not OPEC Says:

    I wonder if he’ll have the award with him tonight.


  20. missmolly Says:

    Methinks that since wingnut talking heads have pretty much taken over radio, the National Association of Broadcasters is made up mostly of Rush and Hannity wannabes, anyway. No surprise here.


  21. APEC not OPEC Says:

    Big Deal ! Just looked at the entry for NAB on WIKI. Only two entries. Who they are and Critisism. Lobbying group maybe?


  22. Leftside Annie Says:

    So - where the HELL was the damned LIBERAL MEDIA while this outrage was being perpetrated upon us???????


  23. FunMe Says:

    Yawn.

    As if journalists or broadcasters really exist without the fairness doctrine.

    It sounds more like this freak got the MACARONI award.


  24. xenon Says:

    Given that screaming is what passes for provocative thoughtful right-wing commentary nowadays, I suppose that the award could not have gone to a more deserving aneuploid.

    ==================

    “Sean wakes up every morning with a show oozing to spew his bile out of his anus.”

    -Fixed

    Wait, hannity has a personality?

    “just read the first 10 posts on this thread and all I can say is typical liberal garbage. You liberals just have this horrible fear of presenting facts. All you are capable of is insults! You sound like a bunch of uneducated 6th graders!

    Fact:”this is like TIME Magazine in 1939 naming Adolf Hitler their Man Of The Year.”

    Fact:”Big Deal ! Just looked at the entry for NAB on WIKI. Only two entries.”

    AS for your request of examples of rightwing screaming, this isn’t a serious request, but, what the hell:

    Is this republican code for Cleveland Steamer?

    Hannity is a Cleveland Steamer — and his audience is full of Steamees.

    So the little rant-jockey gathered up another Marconi. BFD. NAB — which presents this award — is little more than a lobbying organization for commercial radio broadcasters. This award has about as much significance as GDumbya giving his former Cabinet members a Medal of Freedom.


  29. tom Says:

    Good. Then we won’t have to tell him where to put it. Rumor has it that he is well-experienced when it comes to black dildos . . . and dicks, too, for that matter.


  30. Bobwurst Says:

    mikey,

    aren’t you going to comment on my two examples of right wing punditry? You ask for facts, then flake when they show up, If i didnt know better I’d think you weren’t serious…


  31. Bobwurst Says:

    What are you expecting mikey, a compendium of right wing potty mouth?You as for AN example, I gave you many more than that.


  32. texaslady Says:

    Probably the award was sitting getting dusty and Rush blew it so Hannity came up next. Bet Bill O is really pissed.


  33. texaslady Says:

    Capt Mantastic does your cape get caught flying in the window, always wondered about people wearing capes. Getting caught I mean.


  34. Witch1 Says:

    Having trouble with the copy today, guess it’s time to get my eye test and new glasses..Did I read Hannety wake’s up every morning screaming for some one to get off his chest.?.Who.? More BS from the reich….Blessings


  35. texaslady Says:

    #39 My thought exactly ! Maybe Michelle Malkin could enlighten us. Or Ann now that would be more like it.


  36. TRDaggett Says:

    I don’t know about anyone else, but it makes me wonder what kind of twisted criteria are involved in choosing a ‘winner’. Maybe Rupert Murdock had the final vote.


  37. Ivans son Says:

    Irrespective of the previous comments on this thread:

    Do you, Michael, think Hannity is basically right, about the world in general?

    Where would you disagree with him?

    Do you think that extreme right pundits - Coulter, for sake of argument - should be taken as seriously as right wing intellectuals such as -again for sake of argument - Bloomberg?


  38. barfly Says:

    More like “expoding with fecund ferocity from his oily bowel.”


  39. katy Says:

    um, is this a slight at the limpballs?
    i mean, isn’t HE the king of talk supposedly?
    ouch…

    guess that WOULD be a tad uncouth…
    rewarding a guy who puts down the troops…
    bad timing, rushbo…
    .


  40. chriswyse Says:

    His show is hillarious. I love when he plays tapes of Hillary’s many different view’s of the war as time goes by. Her views change almost daily. For the war, against it.

    Obama in 08′.


  41. chriswyse Says:

    The only reason the Rush and Hannity win these awards is because of the great commerical success. Sure they have more listeners and it’s free but I still like NPR because I pay for it with taxes from my pocket. And guess what? Sean and Rush also have to pay for it and NPR is so far to the left it must make them sick. Can you imagine what Hannity must think when he listens to NPR? It’s great to know that we own the airwaves that all the people to the right have to pay for.


  42. Beyonce Welch Says:

    Hannity spews lies and hate. Has America become a land of fearful , hateful people ? Sadly it seems so !


  43. Technodaoist Says:

    “best” is a relative term - it has no intrinsic or quantitative value.

    just like hannity.

    what a joke piece of propaganda this is…


  44. CruzBustamove Says:

    “Sean wakes up every morning with a show screaming to get off his chest.”
    HA! More likely, he wakes up every morning scratching his ass and yanking his pecker.


  45. hterrya Says:

    This puny little award pales in comparison to the REAL award InsHannity won this year: Media Putz for September 13, 2007!

  46. An Outhouse Says:

    In a related story Sean Hannity was rushed to a hospital where he needed to have his stomach pumped.

    “just read the first 10 posts on this thread and all I can say is typical liberal garbage. You liberals just have this horrible fear of presenting facts. All you are capable of is insults! You sound like a bunch of uneducated 6th graders!

    Michael, do you actually believe in this guy? So he has a huge audience, so what. Milli Vanilli won a Grammy. Dude be at least a little objective. It’s fun and easy to do too. And most of his fans don’t and he knows this. Take any 2 minute segment of either his radio program of his tv show and LexisNexis the context or the subject, he lies and distorts everything to his agenda, not some things…..Everything. As Limbaugh said and it holds true for Hannity, and I’m paraphrasing “I’m through carrying water for these guys.” Try it, you’ll be amazed and disappoited.


  48. dottoreholliday Says:

    Sounds more like an affliction than a desirable trait, but then I guess everyone notices that about Hannity.
