The Secret of Hannity’s Success

Karen posts Robert Gibbs’ attempt to cut through Sean Hannity’s bluster below without comment. I have a comment…

It isn’t just that Hannity is a major-league sumphole, it’s that Alan Colmes is perhaps the lamest human being on any major TV network. Watch him at the end of the clip. I mean, this guy approaches Mr. Bill in his flaccidity. He is a window in Roger Ailes’ carnival barker soul: this is what the wingnuts who watch this putrid swill want a liberal to look and act like. I’ve had my differences with Eric Alterman and Glenn Greenwald–still do, in fact–but I’d pay good money to see one of them go up against Hannity for a week while Colmes is off getting a backbone operation.

Mitt’s father lost his own presidential bid, but it was the lessons from his mother’s loss that are more instructive as Romney enters the campaign stretch.
