Hannity travels back in time to launch personal attack on Pelosi.

On Fox News last Wednesday, while discussing The Hill newspaper’s annual 50 Most Beautiful People on Capitol Hill list, host Sean Hannity said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) “ranks in at number four” but complained that there are others “who are far more deserving” than her. The problem, however, as MSNBC host Dan Abrams pointed out last night, is that Pelosi was number four on last year’s list and is not included in the 2008 edition. Abrams asks: “But why should that stop Hannity from insulting her again?”:

ABRAMS: Next up — Fox’s Sean Hannity really wanted to insult Speaker Nancy Pelosi last night. He talked about “The Hill” newspaper’s 2008 most beautiful people on Capitol Hill list.

HANNITY: Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi—Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi ranks in at number four. Several aides, by the way, who are far more deserving than Nancy Pelosi. This is supposed to be the 50 most beautiful people on Capitol Hill.

ABRAMS: The problem—Nancy Pelosi isn’t on the list this year. She was on last year’s list, but why should that stop Hannity from insulting her again?

    There are some real idiots out there buying this and the obstructive act the criminal repukes acted out to make the dems appear in the wrong - previous article. And our complicit media is helping...

    Hannity to America: "This is what--I got nothing for you--looks like. Lap it up ditto-heads."


  5. Imichael Says:

    I like to interject once in a while with this kind of action most of you disagree with. If I ever run into Hannity I will punch him in the throat. Sometimes you just have to go back to basics.


  6. abarts Says:

    Hannity can't tell time.


  7. Tim43 Says:

    Ha, if I was 83 years old i'd be all over pelosi.

    Maybe he'll figure out where he left his brain.

    If you are going to insult her, at least do it for good cause. This is just juvenile. There are many better things to throw out about her. (Worthless sack of garbage, traitor to the people, etc)


  10. naldo Says:

    . . . and for the seventh year in a row, Sean Hannity has won the Lou Costello look-alike-contest.


  11. ucsbclassics53 Says:

    Can conservatives argue anything without resorting to a personal attack?

    OH never mind...who am I kidding?

    They're obviously not doing a thing for you.

    OT: Hellboy II, A Troll's Review

    Not as good as the original, which is rare for comic flicks. Usually, the "how they got their powers" episode kinda blows. Hellboy I had the huge advantage of making that part obvious.

    The Villains in this one are way more sympathetic. Us Trolls hates us our sympathetic villaines-es. That is what is so cool about Al Qaeda.

    Dialog good, effects good, creatures good. Several major laugh lines, though that could be the smuggled beer talking.

    Overall, we'll give it three mutantly large demonic hands on a five mutantly large demonic hands scale. Could be a theatre see, more likely a DVD.


  14. LoraS Says:

    Hasn't Hannity heard that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" Oh, I get it: he heard it as "truth is in the eye of the beholder--particularly in the eye of the broadcaster."


  15. P Alfonso Says:

    I am not going to agree or disagree with Hannity. Whatever opinion he has I respect just as I respect the opinion of others who are commenting on this feed.
    I do know one thing; the Nancy Pelosi Congress has 9% national approval. I thought that George W. Bush approval rate was bad at 30%. Does that mean that he is rated three times higher than Nancy?
    At this point I could care less what they do about the price of gas as long as they are doing something.
    The Congress just left on a month vacation and has done nothing to resolve this issue. Even worse they have no plans for when they come back. I find that unacceptable from people that we elect to protect our interest.
    I have my own opinion about the situation.
    See my article: Harry and Nancy: We could use your help.

    Thanks. Praise the Gods I am too drunk to get the point of this thread...is it something to do with Hannity wanting to nail Pelosi 30 years ago? I mean...that makes the nastiest creature in Hellboy a lullaby.


  19. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Why does The Hill even have a "50 Most Beautiful People on Capitol Hill" list in the first place? I find the concept insulting. How about a list of the "50 Most Honorable People on Capitol Hill" list, instead? Or are there not that many to be found?


  20. Game of Life Says:

    fixed news is below the National Enquirer.

    Then again, maybe he's testing to see how far repugs will follow his dangerous, back-slapping bs.

    repugs are laughing in our faces.

  21. dbadass Says:

    I am not sure if I find it insulting or just freakin' ridiculous. What is this "People"?


  22. helenahandbasket Says:

    It's fun watching this mental midget, Insannity, self-destruct in the face of the g.o.p. becoming the 21st century version of the Whig party


  23. galmud Says:

    Real mature Hannity. "Nancy Pelosi is ugly hahaha!"

    And yeah the toplist is ridiculous


  24. Game of Life Says:

    Are we stuck with wannabe Frankenstein, box-headed, dangerous skankity all night?

    I do know one thing; the Nancy Pelosi Congress has 9% national approval.

    Please cite your assertions. I find it hard to believe that the "rubber stamp" congress (109th) had a higher approval rating. Who's taking the poll, repugs?


  26. Game of Life Says:

    Ah damn Paul Dean is on box-head's America.


  27. tom Says:

    Little Seanie is such a smarmy p*ss-ant. His radio rant-fest is just a repetitive string of insults, half-truths and outlandish statements. At least Limpballs can be somewhat amusing with his bombastic pomposity. Seanie is just a boring little self-righteous pant-load.


  28. stewarjt Says:

    And this affects my life and the lives of countless others how?


  29. leftcoast Says:

    Doesn't Hannity look like Lou Costello?

  30. tom Says:

    Doesn’t Hannity look like Lou Costello?

    You have a point there. However, I have always considered Little Seanie to be a gay version of Nathan Lane.


  31. leftcoast Says:

    tom- you're right. Looks a great deal like Nathan Lane.
    Now, if Seanie had nearly half the brain of these two brilliant people.


  32. tom Says:

    “Hannity travels back in time to launch personal attack on Pelosi”

    Actually, Little Seanie doesn't have to travel back in time. He's stuck in time somewhere between Ronnie RayGun and Newtie Gingrich's "Contract on America" already.


  33. tarazan Says:

    Don't blame Hannity!
    He misses the beauty of Speaker Dennis Hastert so much.


  34. Imichael Says:

    Do you hear people laughing in the background when Hannity says Pelosi. Man Keith Olbermann is definitely stuck on his mind when he uses the same intro. Remember Hannity's Sean Pean Enemy of the State fiasco.


  35. shellyT Says:

    Uh . . . Hannity's right? Pelosi does suck. She really really needs to be replaced.


  36. Klem Kiddilehopper Says:

    Hey Sean, what's happened to your much vaunted and bally-hoed "Freedom Concerts Tour" this year? Freedom Alliance told me that they're waiting for you for updates on your 2008 Tour!
    Did you have a falling out with your jarhead idol over at Freedom Alliance? Your tour isn't listed or even mentioned anywhere on their site anywhere, unlike previous years! You used to rate a line in their main menu in the upper left hand corner of the front page of Freedom Alliances site, but no more this year! They also told me in different phone calls this year that your concert in a off-the-strip casino in Vegas on May 3 2008, called the Orleans was a "Sean Hannity and Friends Concert" and had nothing to do with Ollie Norths "Freedom Alliance!" What's your comment about that statement?
    How about with some proof that your "Freedom Concerts Tour 2007" earned and you donated to Freedom Alliance last year $10,000,000!
    That's what you have to say in your bio at:premierspeakers.org
    You donated $10,000,000 to Freedom Alliance from your concerts tour last year! Are you saying your 5 concerts on avg, donated 2 million bucks per event after expenses, to the Scholarship Fund at Freedom Alliance last year!
    I'm calling your bluff Hannity: "SHOW ME THE MONEY!"


  37. Hawkeye Says:

    More evidence of Hannity as a bottom feeding scumbag with all the class of a pile of dog$hit.


  38. sacopenapa Says:

    Hannity speaking and dog doing its necessity in a Washington's streets are the same thing. Howvever, Pelosi is a TRAITOR, a WAR ENABLER, she deserves to be repudiated and replaced.


  39. republicanSScareme Says:

    Hannity doesn't have to travel back in time. He's already living there. It's called the Dark Ages.


  40. Shayne Says:

    The interesting part of this story is that Pelosi isn't on the list this year. She hasn't made many fans lately.


  41. Alejandro Says:

    Hopefully, this November, Sheehan will hand Pelosi her ass.


  42. Lynn Lightfoot Says:

    The Hill. Huh? How serious is a periodical that devotes space to the Fifty Most Beautiful People on the Hill? Shades of high school, no, wait a minute, shades of grade school and How many valentines did you get?


  43. RUCerious Says:

    Could we please send Hammity back in time to, say the Triassic period??

    Klem Kiddilehopper Says:

    Hey Sean, what’s happened to your much vaunted and bally-hoed “Freedom Concerts Tour” this year? Freedom Alliance told me that they’re waiting for you for updates on your 2008 Tour!

    Being of a certain age and growing up in the New York City area I recognize Hannity and O'Reilly for what they are.....
    classic New York bs/con artists.
    Hannity is a college dropout who stumbled upon a goldmine of a scam for himself conning the gullible.
    He's made more money than he probably ever dreamed was possible back when he was growing up in Nassau County where he was just another knucklehead smoking pot in the high school boys room.


  45. flavorino Says:

    Just would like to add to the above post that I wouldn't be surprised if the IRS found some interesting stuff if they were to ever audit the "Freedom Alliance", (see the D-Kos post on that subject)

    The Neocon Blowhard Cheerleader commenting on the Neocon AIPAC whore.


  47. bryan hussein Says:

    Does anyone else agree that it's one of the most miserable things a man can do to attack a woman for her looks? Especially a telegraphed attack like this one.

    Kinda reminds about John McCain's favorite joke, attacking little Chelsea's looks while calling her mother a lesbian.


  48. bratboy Says:

    Does anyone listen to hannity any more, and if they do WHY?


  49. theproducer Says:

    Limbaugh is a drug addict and O'Reilly is a pervert. We already know that Hannity is a Nazi, so I guess it is only a matter of time before they find the kiddie porn in his closet.

    WHAT'S A SEAN HANNITY ???
