IMUS disses Sean Hannity

MSNBC ^ | Sept. 6,2002 | My ears

[McGruff]

Listening to the IMUS in the morning show, IMUS speaking with Congressman J C Watts and J D Hayworth made some comments referring to Sean Hannity as a retard, then functionally illiterate and then a moron.

I enjoy listening to his show, but he was way out of line with these comments. I expect he will end up having to apologize for those regrettable comments.

Anybody else hear this. Comments (besides IMUS is a …., who do you listen to him, …)

[Hammerhead]

I doubt it. You were probably the only one listening.

[elephantlips]

I'd be interested in what his guests had to say in reply.

Imus specializes in ad hominems. If you want invective rather than reason, Imus is your guy.

And a frequent visitor to Fire Island as well...

I heard Imus *diss* Sean Hannity, and, it was all in fun.

Sean would have loved it.

[AppyPappy]

I did hear the drunk cokehead call Augusta Hootie a "bigot".

[McGruff]

The comments were made is response to JD Haywoth mentioning Sean. IMUS (paraphrasing) said he was a right wing nut job, where he (IMUS) tends to balanced. Isn’t that right Chuck?

JD chuckled and responded "Yeah just like MSNBC Americas News Channel".

Yeah-I heard it...I was switching around during the commercials and I like J.C., so I watched for awhile, as soon as I heard the moron comment I turned it off (Imus's drunken "vocal style" bugs me anyway)...he's probably just jealous (it was funny when J.D. Hayworth said something back like, Sean's book is selling well, but I saw yours for a dollar and a half on the sale pile)

[Ipse Dixit]

Who's Imus?

[xsmommy]

that beat up old drunk is just jealous of seanny's good looks and obvious popular STUDLY appeal.

[xsmommy]

hey i just said the same thing! the old drunk is just jealous!

[hobbes1]

Yeah, to the readers of BlueBoy magazine...

[xsmommy]

beg to differ....

[McGruff]

Did you hear IMUS describing all the perks Jack Walsh got when he retired from GE? Wow it was unbelievable.

Apparently his wife disclosed all of these fringe benefits during their divorce case proceedings.

Looking for the newspaper article where they got this info.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

yeah but his old lady is a babe,,,,,

[YaYa123]

I normally enjoy flipping between Imus on MSNBC, & Fox & Friends. This morning Fox has on all the congressional honchos, both sides of the aisle. Very impressive line up.

[xsmommy]

well maybe you can look deidre up when she tires of changing old don's diapers! personally, i love bernard. he is hysterical!

[McGruff]

You were probably the only one listening

Not true, a surprising number of political people listen to him. One is George Bush, the father not he son. Tim Russert listens from his washington office. There are a lot more but I can't remember them right now.

Let me repeat I thought his comments about Sean were uncalled for.

[Wondervixen]

Do you know a thing or two about Blue Boy magazine there hobbesie?
