(Jan. 9) - Fox News host Sean Hannity has no plans to replace the left-leaning seat evacuated at the end of the year by Alan Colmes. Instead, the newly christened 'Hannity' will feature a nightly forum called the 'Great American Panel,' where the host will assemble assorted pundits from all ends of the political cesspool spectrum.

Sharpton

Meatloaf

Bachman
And if you're a sucker for watching controversial politicians flap their yaps on the TV, the show's re-premiere on Monday should certainly deliver. Broadcasting & Cable is reporting that outspoken foot-in-mouth specialist Rev. Al Sharpton has been selected for the liberal role, while Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-Minn.), who last year implored the media to investigate members of Congress for anti-Americanism, will play the conservative. The wild card on the panel: Michael Aday, but you know him as Meatloaf.
B&C Has More Details:
Monday's show will include a sit-down with George W. Bush. Hannity will conduct the interview Friday at the White House. Hannity will employ a rotating panel in lieu of a permanent ideological counterpoint. The show will also bow a few new elements including the Hate Hannity Hotline featuring highlights from Hannity haters.

Just have everyone Google the National Debt and what Presidents raised it the most! I dare Hannity to show that Graph on his show! It tells the whole story about who put this Country in Debt the most! I t was Reagan,GHW Bush, and George W Bush, who 'skyrocketed' the National Debt! NOT THE DEMOCRATS!

Ask Hannity to explain why the National Debt went up four times the rate it was before Reagan, (who the Republicans Worship), and then 'Doubled' after George W Bush took office? Bush took it from $5. 7Trillion to over $10 Trillion! Why doesn't Sean Hannity "ever" mention that? He only rants about the Democrats!

I thought once Alan Colmes left the show, Hannity would hog the whole thing - he could be free to screech to the top his lungs and turn beet red (you know, his usual) and look into the camera - no one is as in love with Hannity as he is. Oh, well, guess he chickened out and will have liberal guests - or FOX told him what to do - that would probably be closer to the truth...

The problem with talk radio is..too many belive just because someone is speaking on the radio they are telling the truth..the fact is just the opposite, as in limblah and hanityblah's case...they get their talking points from gingrich and roger ailes..they will not waiver from their points not even in the boldest face that puts republicans at fault...NEVER.

PLCHom 09:22 AMJan 10 2009 It is impossible to place two words with Hannity. It is surprising Fox has allowed him to shut everyone he disagrees with by speaking louder and longer than them.------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- you hit the nail on the head

Can anyone tell me what Al Sharpton does for a living? I didn't know they paid people for running around, being a racist and acting like an idiot. He's a bigger racist than the leaders of the KKK and the AB combined.
