Yes, you're correct, it was.
That's because I usually read the linked article and all the comments before posting.

And I wasn't complaining. It just seems that a lot of Blogs are getting posted under news and wanted you to be aware of that, that's all. (I know you guys are busy and can't catch everything)

Ha! One of the most common complaints here about Hannity is of his being a bit slow on the interviewing and debating uptake.

Well you know interviewing live is like umpiring in baseball: it's a lot harder than it looks from the grandstand...lol.

Back in college when I was umpiring a Little League game, there were about 10 plays in a row when the kid was safe on a call at a base. Then a kid got picked off second base on a line drive to the infield and he was out by four feet. For some unknown reason, probably just the pattern of safe calls before this play, I called the kid "safe" at second. The kids just stood there and looked at me like I was nuts and waited for something to happen. Finally I just said "play ball" and the kid stayed at second. Fortunately the manager of the other team didn't run out and argue with me. I was really quite fortunate that I was in a posh area of coastal California at the time or I could have been attacked by a mob after the game.

My point is that doing anything live is much harder than when you can study and prepare for it ahead of time and basically just read a script. I got out of umpiring after that season. The balls and strikes are easy to call but it takes great concentration and practice to get all the calls right on the bases. My mind would wander too much off into thinking about other stuff when I was a base umpire. It's much easier to be an official in football where you don't have to make those critical calls on safe or out on the bases.

“No wonder this barking moonbat hates Irish Catholics and brings up that IRA bullcarp.”

Yes, and the fact that he loves Rachel Madcow so much makes me think he’s just a bitter, GAY, little (Orange)man. I looked at some of his blogs and he mentions never having he’s not gotten remarried. Sounds like he gave up his beard and is bitter that he can’t marry his true love in his Anglican church. I’m sure in his mind that this is all because of Fox news, and of course, George Bush.

“Hannity is just not that smart(If I may say it, he is STUPID). He only got on the air because he was a “Rush Light” copycat...but he does ot have Rush’s intelligience or wit.”

N00b, shouldn’t you at least be able to SPELL intelligence before you comment on Sean’s lack of it?

Yeah, I caught the 'Rachel Madcow' line and just shook my head. This guy has some serious 'issues'.

“This guy has some serious ‘issues’.”

I agree, I looked on the link at some of his blogs and it looks like he writes a hate piece on Fox news at least once a month.
