Hannity and...Sharpton? You Gotta Be Kidding Me!

A journalist I have lot of respect for once called Sean Hannity a "condescending ball of hate," and having listened to some of the things he's said, I'd have a hard time disagreeing with him. But like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, Hannity says things so preposterous and full of shock-value, I don't even think he believes the words coming out of his loud mouth.

However, since his liberal co-host Alan Colmes split from their FOX News sideshow Hannity and Colmes, little Sean doesn't have anyone to pick on.

Wait a tick. What's that? Who's joining Hannity for a one night engagement? Well I'll be damned, none other than the Rev. Al Sharpton!!! ...

Yo, I bullsh*t you not, Sharpton, head of the National Action Network is going to be the liberal punching bag for all the right wing nutcases Monday night, filling the spot Colmes once sorrowfully occupied (the poor guy looked like he lost weight with every show).

Now, Sharpton and Hannity have less in common than Gandhi and Hitler, but honestly, strange combinations like that make for great television. They have also kept the people who make Pepto Bismol in business for years.

I don't know what they could possibly have to talk about other than Hannity's disdain for anything that isn't in an all-white gated community. But to back them up, classic rocker Meatloaf ("Two Out of Three Ain't Bad") will fill one of the hot seats; and so will dingbat McCarthyism advocate Rep. Michelle Bachman (look her up, she's two fries short of a Happy Meal).

Look, I gotta admit, I'm not a frequent watcher of Faux News, but this might be worth tuning in, if nothing else for Hannity to finally snivel to Sharpton how pissed he is, despite his best efforts, that there will be a black man occupying the White House on Jan. 20.

Maybe Rev. Al will bring him a complimentary copy of Birth of a Nation.
