To expect him to actually know what is in this Amnesty Bill and what its associated cost, how dare Sean not to bow down to the good senator.
Let’s hope.
I disagree with you comment. As a senator he is supposed to know what is in the bill before he votes on it-or decides he is in facor of it. Who has not read the headlines across the internet/papers etc on what this bill will cost the US taxpayer? It’s been posted everywhere. He sounded incompetant at the very least.
What was the trap, enlighten us pls.
To show the Senator doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground?
Just another reason the goverment will move towards control of talk radio.
VOINOVICH: Okay, well you, if, if you count the number of minutes you've had, and I've had, I think you've had more minutes than I've had. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I think it was clear that the senator “didn’t” read the entire bill and “didn’t” read the heritage report. HE SAID SO. End of story. Hannity THEN beat it to death. He needed to go on to the next question.
I’m a Hannity fan, but as an interviewer, he’s getting very one sided and risks losing his credibility.
He didn’t WANT to embarras the senator... the senator did that on his own. IF you are going to be interviewed and you have even an inkling of an idea of the host or content of the show, you should at the very least be prepared to give some rational answers. This senator sounded like a bonifide usda approved idiot- and Hannity had nothing to do with that.

Voinovich and Lugar. Charter members of the Grab Your Ankles faction of the Republican Party. Moderates to the end.
I think it was clear from the get go, that the senator didn’t know his @ss from a hole in the ground if he had his finger in it.
I’m saying as an interviewer, he was in the past much more impartial and patient. As of late he comes in with one talking point with the objective of getting his guest to agree with him. This is not a credible approach in the long run.
He got what he wanted at the beginning of the interview when the senator admitted that he was NOT fully informed. Okay? Then go on to the next question, and make him look even dumber if that’s your objective.
That hardball idiot Matthews does this sort of thing all the time. The senator was right to bail out when he did.

I listened to the interview in the car yesterday. I heard the tone of the voices. I don’t think the senator was angry or upset etc. in the beginning or even at the end. Frustrated? Yes. He’s fielded tougher questions than this, and when you listened to the interview Hannity continually interrupted him. LET the idiot speak.
Hannity achieved what he wanted early on. He should have gone on to the next question. And then after words HE sounded like a little kid trying to explain why HE wasn’t the BAD guy.
LIsten to his interviews. They are not as sharp and open as they were a year ago. He is becoming extremely biased when he doesn’t need to be.
That’s basically why very few dems or libs will go on his show.
Only a trap because the Senator was not telling the truth or at least trying to avoid telling the truth. If he stated that he had not read the bill or that he had not done a cost analysis, he wou8ld not have gotten into this argument. It was only when he tried to equivocate and then attack Hannity with diversions that the interview went South...
Senator V is an “L”
I heard it live and nearly dropped my uppers.......
“Only a trap because the Senator was not telling the truth.”
I think Hannity new from the beginning that the Senator was ill and mis-informed. His objective was to make that very clear to the audience. In that he succeeded. As an interviewer he doesn’t let his guest speak. I hate that, whether I’m talking to my kids or anyone. Let the person speak.
Another aspect of this that I find appalling, in addition to the fact that he hasn’t even read as much of the bill as the people on this forum, and he’s voting on it, is that his staff LET HIM GO ON WITH HANNITY WITHOUT TELLING HIM THE HUTCHISON AMENDMENT HAD BEEN TABLED. That is just incredible. He voted on it, he didn’t know the outcome, and NO ONE TOLD HIM. And then it comes out in the wash that this guy has been in politics for 40 years and DOESN’T know what the Fairness Doctrine is. This is one ignorant and narrowly focused elected official.
“He’s done after this term and he knows it. He’ll retire before he’ll sack up and face the music.”
And he’ll retire a wealthy man, with Mexicans tending to his lawn. So, he couldn’t care less, hence the arrogance.
Sadly, with all the Republicans have done, and are doing nationally, and on a state level in Ohio... Ohio is turning blue.
And I am NO Hannity fan, and the questions could have been better, but Voinovich sank himself, BEFORE and WITHOUT Sean's questions:.
He sounded stupid on the Fairness Doctrine, and he was clueless on the fate of an amendment he had just VOTED for.
but he’s been in this business for forty years and he’s not going to be pushed around. /s
