Voinovich and Hannity - Audio and Transcript

Yahoo! ^ | June 27, 2007 | Sean Hannity & George Voinovich

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

This might be the most stunning political conversation that I have ever heard in my life.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

I also have a “WAV” file of their conversation, but it’s more than 100MB in size, and I had a hard time finding a site that would let me upload such a large file.

Ping for reading more closely! It was an amazing conversation.... stunning.

[kempster]

I heard this live yesterday and I was stunned to see what a complete dufus the state of Ohio has sent to represent them. Being from Michigan, I don’t have any room to speak, but this really blew my mind. This tells me that the fix is in and all this Amendment crap is just a formality to get to the next step.

“This might be the most stunning political conversation that I have ever heard in my life.”

Agreed! Never have I seen such a “Let them eat cake” attitude. The people in Ohio need to start a recall if possible. 40 years in politics-Voinovich is the perfect example why we need to start strict term limits.

[freespirited]

Unbelievable. We must have at least couple dozen FReepers in Ohio who would be far better Senators than this oaf.

[Ikemeister]

Does Voinivich have all his marbles? I have a sinking feeling that he is all too typical of the clowns who represent us.

Thank you for posting the transcript.

The people of Ohio have reelected this man for 40 years and now he seems to think that 40 years is his entitlement to autoratic arrogance ?

I would question Senator Voinovich’s competency to remain in office after reading and hearing him yesterday. But being brain dead is no disqualifier for the Senate if your finger can punch a button.

[Anonymous Rex]

There are a few million who’d be better Senators and shamefully some of those are Democrats.

[don-o]

Good post. Everyone needs to give a listen. The key to the whole thing is the senator proclaiming, "I will not be intimidated." Breathtaking.

I heard it live and Hannity earned some respect from me from this. Now, if he can get his mind right about Rudy, and dump Dick Morris forever, he can earn more!

[Anonymous Rex]

He’s done after this term and he knows it. He’ll retire before he’ll sack up and face the music.

The only question is whether we can get him out of office any sooner.

[jwalsh07]

His competency is not in question, he is very obviously incompetent. What is most troubling is that he thinks he is a commissar in the Politburo rather than a United States Senator. How any conservative could ever again cast a vote for this clown is beyond me.

[Nomorjer Kinov]

That was Sean’s finest hour in broadcasting. No wishy-washy, feel good, my good friend BS. Hard, fair questions, insistence on answers and he pointed out the non-answers and dodges and the runaway behavior of the towering intellect that is, Voinovitch.

[Astronaut]

I fired off an email to Voinovich right away. What better proof that the elitists in DC are completely out of touch with us plebians? Voinovich was ignorant - he didn’t know what the fairness doctrine was. He got mad at Sean because Sean had the temerity to question on of his “betters” and the Senator didn’t have straight answers to basic questions. This arrogant ass needs a Freeping! Jam his switchboard and crash his email server!!

[not2worry]

I feel like we are living under the Third Reich

[WBL 1952]

Voinovich is par for the course in the US Senate. Almost every one of these clowns sounds the same way when they get put on the spot; total clueless imbeciles that only know that for some reason people will elect them to an important office based only on how they look and sound.

[Psycho_Bunny]

That was Barstool Incoherence.

[George W. Bush]

I like the part where Voinovich announced in a trembling voice that he wasn't intimidated by Hannity and all those talk-radio people.

He was shaking in his boots, trying to squeak out of it. I had the feeling he agreed to appear, thinking in his obvious confusion that it was some kind of softball interview for him.

These bastards had better be intimidated. Voinovich is just another worthless spinless incompetent that needs to be knocked to the ground and have the boots put to him before we defeat him in his next primary.

RINOs, go home.

I listened to it too, and I am a Hannity fan, but as an interviewer... Hannity has an axe to grind and he pushes and pushes with it. The senator said he:

1. Didn’t read the entire bill
2. Didn’t read the Heritage Paper

Hannity didn’t lighten up but wanted to emabarras the Senator.

He did this last night with a radio talk show host. Can’t remember his name. His point was that Hillary should be asked about her husband’s mistresses in order to get the female vote as the neglected housewife etc. The radio guy said, she would be better off not to answer those questions, but to say, “Im running not my husband.” Hannity would not let up but kept asking.

In short I don’t blame the Senator for hanging up. Hannity did not conduct a good interview but a trap.

“That was Sean’s finest hour in broadcasting. No wishy-washy, feel good, my good friend BS.”

Sean has gained me back as a hard core listener once again with his hardcore stance against the shamnesty bill. Now if he could get the riled up on Republican out of control spending and big government programs.
