Sean Hannity is a Scared Idiot

One of the side effects of being scared to death of black people is that you don't use public transportation. And if you don't use public transportation, then you don't have the first clue about subways. So, if you're scared of black people, you probably shouldn't talk about subways.

A commenter at BooMan's thinkprogress link left this amusing verse.

Ode to Sean Hannity by John Cleese
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
Youre a profanity
Hannity

Unfortunately, he's really nasty at the moment because of his umpteenth divorce with the latest love of his life, an American shrink.

The surviving members were on Fallon's show last week, pushing their IFC documentary.

According to IFC, Episode 1 of the documentary airs in a few minutes. Thanks for the tip.

Fawlty is one of our all-time favorite characters. Mrs ID still yells, "Basil! Basil!" to me when upset.

Re: Sean Hannity is a Scared Idiot (none / 1)

Hannity may well know better, but the overwhelming majority of Hannity's audience lives in places where there are no subways, so they have no idea of what is and isn't in the New York subway. Hannity could say that there are pink polka-dot elephants on the NY subway and his audience wouldn't have any personal experience to give them pause about Hannity's claim, outside of a lack of pink polka-dot elephants, but given their general disdain for urban areas in general and New York in particular they'd probably be prone to think that a circus elephant got hooked on drugs in New York and sprouted polka dots...

In younger days, I think I 'saw' stranger things than that in NY subways.

Re: Sean Hannity is a Scared Idiot (none / 1)

Ok, this dates me. But I remember being a young kid in 1960 taking the 14th street trolly in Washington DC and seeing nothing but black faces. For a kid from an almost all white town, it was an experience. Maybe Sean never got the chance

I see religious billboards all the time. I don't get offended, but I do usually ponder how many hungry families could have been fed for the cost of that ad.
