Hannity to become ‘an even more prominent part of Fox’ after election.
The New York Times reports today that Sean Hannity has agreed to stay at Fox News until 2012, and “is expected to become an even more prominent part of Fox’s opinion programming.” Fox executives are reportedly pleased with his Sunday-night show “Hannity’s America,” and in a statement, Fox senior vice president for programming Bill Shine said that Hannity would “remain a marquee name at Fox News for several years to come.” Fox declined to comment on the future of Bill O’Reilly or Alan Colmes.

So I think we can discount all those rumors that Faux News was going to swing to the left as their ratings diminish, huh?
October 9th, 2008 at 6:02 pmThey need him desperately as the commode cleaner.
After all, with so many people so full of shit, that’s a critical position in the organization.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:02 pmThat and selling melamine tainted dog food. If it was good enough for Lorne Greene, Sean Hannity can move some product.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:03 pmIf anyone saw Network, you will know the fate of poor old Colmes. He will be assassinated on air by a group of radical left wing” Democrats. It will be their start towards an impeach Obama crusade.

– - Now there’s a no-brainer, what with a Democratic President and Congress about to take over.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:06 pmHan Job is obviously rubbing his superiors the right way.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:07 pmHannity to become ‘an even more prominent part of Fox’ after election.
There should be even more shit in the outhouse known as FAUX ?

October 9th, 2008 at 6:08 pmThe revolution will not be televised !
October 9th, 2008 at 6:11 pmHowever…the debates will be sponsored by Exxon and clean coal .
Violence is not the answer. But I have to say, I would love to see Hannity’s nose meet the edge of a desk.
He is one evil bastard.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:13 pmSure, the Daily Show has reached new heights under a Republican President. His comedy show should prosper and flourish under an Obama Administration.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:14 pmInsannity: Doing the same BS show day after day after day…
October 9th, 2008 at 6:15 pmSoon (but not soon enough)the Republicans can go back to doing the only thing they do well — complaining about the government. Looks like Hannity gets to be chief drool monkey for the frothing horde McPalin is stirring up.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:17 pmPoor FAUX. Dick Cheney must have turned them down.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:17 pmOne definition of “prominent” is “Standing out beyond a surface or line; projecting.” Is Fox saying Hannity is going to be an even bigger dick now?
October 9th, 2008 at 6:19 pmBig fat whoop.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:19 pmFox declined to comment on the future of Bill O’Reilly or Alan Colmes.
O’Lielly is currently negotiating to purchase a lucrative loofah and falafel factory …………
October 9th, 2008 at 6:20 pmTalk all you want about about the role of the pundit in covering an election, but this man carries a hostile and rather boring obsession with Obama. I think the first thing Obama should do upon taking office is take out a restraining order on this guy.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:21 pmI think the first thing the Democratic government should do is restore the “Fairness Doctrine”. Hannity would be out of work very quickly because he is not that sharp.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:22 pmOde to Sean Hannity (by John Cleese)
Aping urbanity
October 9th, 2008 at 6:22 pmOozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity
Mr. Hannity wants a revitalized republican party. He should be careful what he wishes for, Dwight Eisenhower would come back to life and throw a boot in his ass.

If the free market (something Hannity professes to adore) was truly in effect in this country, Sean Hannity would be cleaning toilets. Kissing ass to become a senior prickster is not the free market dictating.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:28 pm“Hannity to become ‘an even more prominent part of Fox’ after election.”
From bartender to now the bombastic lad journalist rises to the top of the Faux News clan. Glad that I don’t have cable to watch that clown. Get hannitized for your own protection!
October 9th, 2008 at 6:29 pmI wonder if they mean that Hannity is going to become a sort of Fox mascot. Much like the MGM Lion, every Fox show could conclude with a big Fox logo with a big roaring Hannity head in the middle.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:30 pm“FOX News, keeping Americans Angry and Stoopid since 1996!!”

With tons of shit flying out its stupid mouth………..
October 9th, 2008 at 6:35 pmOh goody, more of “Sieg Heil Hannity”.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:38 pmFaux News Opinion Programming after the election will be about as useful as two sheets of used Charmin. Start with the Unemployment Forms A$$hole! If you beg they may pay you in Food Stamps but you would still be overpaid.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:42 pmOver at MSNBC Keith Olbermann has to be smiling.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:47 pmJunior College drop out and part time construction worker bailed out by the ACLU has done well with the mental midgets of the right wing fringe. What a wasted piece of sh$t.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:59 pmjeeez… it’s gonna be another 8 years of witch hunts…
this guy’s head is already way too big… and i’m not talkin’ about the one between his legs… it’s obvious he’s lacking there…
October 9th, 2008 at 7:01 pm“More prominent part…”
I’m betting on some form of medical augmentation — the real question is “surgical or chemical”?
October 9th, 2008 at 7:07 pm… so he can become an even bigger d__k.
October 9th, 2008 at 7:08 pmHannity’s America?…Oh right, the show that falsely claims Senator Obama is a radical Muslim and is going to blow up the universe. The same show that uses Karl Rove based fear tactics to scare viewers into voting for Grampie McSame. Oh right, the same Sean Hannity that is obsessed with guilt by association. Sean’s associated with an anti-Semite in Andy Martin, so Sean must be one. Not to mention his neo-con buddy John McCain who served on the World Anti Communist League in the early 80’s with fascists, racists, anti-Semites and neo-cons. So his buddy McCain must be all of those.
October 9th, 2008 at 7:15 pmthis guy’s lying hate goes way back…
i found this when i googled “hannity, ACLU” (kasinca got me curious):
An Aggressive Conservative vs. a “Liberal to be Determined”
The false balance of Hannity & Colmes

October 9th, 2008 at 7:20 pmHow can the big brown steaming pile stink more?
Give Sht Head more air time.
2012? Is that all? Is that how long the cult lasts?
They’re already brainstorming (being kind) about how to get Obama impeached, I imagine. I guess they figure it will take less than four years since they’ve done it before.
October 9th, 2008 at 7:23 pm“You know, I’ve heard some people say” that Hannity likes to blow goats, and that when on air he sits on a big dildo shapes like a fist…but don’t take it from me, it’s just what “some people say”.
He deserves a heart attack.
October 9th, 2008 at 7:36 pmAll the better not to watch Fox for my dear.
October 9th, 2008 at 7:37 pmSo if Colmes and Billo’s futures are uncertain, does that mean Faux News is now two steps closer to being a satellite outlet of the Naked News with their female anchors? Lets face it, the news couldn’t get any worse with a shiny pole and flying lace garments going around, while the talk of a hurricane coming ashore is talked about.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:57 pmThis will wipe the smile off Hannity’s heavily made up face. :)

October 9th, 2008 at 9:01 pmShould be “Jannity” (or is it Janitor) instead of Hannity! He is such a biased piece of crap journalism.
October 9th, 2008 at 9:05 pmHAHA That is fantastic! While there are a handful of intelligent Right Wing pundits, Hannity is among the most stupid and incompetent. So this will further marginalize Fox as the News Channel for Wackos. AWESOME news!
October 9th, 2008 at 9:26 pmHannity is like that loudmouth bully jerk that nobody could stand back in high school that always shouted everyone else down halfway through their sentence because he’s always right and you’re always wrong.
October 10th, 2008 at 1:19 amhannity’s a master of opinion programming. apparently better than o’reilly.
