Hannity still seems to like Rove and grovels before him regularly
I have said on
so many occasions that Hannity is fabulously over-rated as a conservative mouthpiece.
(Rant alert)
Hannity's "debating" style is sophomoric at best, ticking off a memorized list of talking points in an attempt to drown an opponent in factoids. There are other lower ranked hosts who run rings around Hannity in debate technique (Hugh Hewitt comes to mind).
Hannity has an extremely annoying habit of repeating pet phrases, "I gotta tell ya," or "I gotta be honest," etc.
Hannity is intellectually lazy. He doesn't do his homework and seems to rely on producers to tell him what to think about people and issues. And this is the worst. I can't stand that he gives a poverty pimp like Sharpton the time of day let alone giving that race baiter a microphone. He has also given air time to RINOs over and over again. He either won't or (more likely) can't ask a decent follow up question to a moderate. Levin routinely destroys people like David Frum and David Brooks. Those guys are terrified of Levin but welcome an on-air interview with Hannity,
Now, that said, I think that Levin screws up occasionally too...I think he gave Hatch an undeserved pass on his tea party credentials. But that's unusual for Levin. For Hannity it's business as usual. So of course Hannity throws softballs at Rove.
The only FNC guy I care less for is the pompous know nothing O'Reilly. And Shep. Shep's working on the Ted Baxter thing.
