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

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.

[silverleaf]

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.

[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!

[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!!

I feel like we are living under the Third Reich

[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.

[TexasCajun]

The audacity of conservatives to question the good senator from Ohio.

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.

[new cruelty]

Just another reason the goverment will move towards control of talk radio.

[DManA]

That is the oldest hack politician trick in the book. We've all seen it a hundred time. Does he think he's talking to a $25,000/year cub reporter?

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!

Voinovich and Lugar. Charter members of the Grab Your Ankles faction of the Republican Party. Moderates to the end.

[drpix]

If you loud bigots don't quit, the
Senate will be forced to CRY AGAIN.

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.
