Hannity Challenges Obama To Co-Host His Fox Show
" In a recent interview with Glamour, Barack Obama objected to the highly negative treatment of his wife Michelle by the "conservative press."

"Fox News and the National Review and columnists of every ilk went fairly deliberately at her in a pretty systematic way...and treated her as the candidate in a way that you just rarely see the Democrats try to do against Republicans," Obama stated. "If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in day out, that'll drive up your negatives."

Fox's Sean Hannity was aggrieved at being singled out in this way. "Senator Barack Obama is defending his wife by attacking little old me," he complained. "So let's get this straight, Senator. Your wife campaigns for you, does public speeches, and says things like she's 'finally proud of her country' and America's a downright mean country in 2008 -- and she should be immune from criticism.

"Senator Obama is welcome on this program," Hannity said in challenge to Obama. "I'll let him co-host my radio show for three hours. ... I'll let him fill in for Alan one night for the full hour. ... I'll even throw in Hannity's America for an hour. I am not ashamed of anything I've ever said."

1. Why would Obama co-host Insanity's POS?

6. Nothing more than a cheap media stunt so fat head Hannity can claim to his viewers that he extended
an opportunity to Obama but he declined. A cheap headline-seeking parlor trick.

2. Obama needs to ignore and shun Insanity
Don't give Fox an ounce of creds.

3. Obama would mop up the floor with him
Let's face it. In a battle of wits, Hannity is pretty much unarmed. He'd be a fool to go up against Obama.

8. I agree.....UNLESS Hannity uses the Fox Strategic Interview Doctrine and keeps interrupting Obama at...
every turn. Same style as Bill O.

like trying to clean up the mess neocons like Bush and his boyfriend Sean have left. Ignore him, Senator Obama.

17. Good for them brushing up their used car salesman skills...
I suspect it's a skill-set they might come to need, given the shifting political climate in this country.

20. Isn't it amazing?
Hannity can snap his fingers and make the co-hot seat vacant! It's like it was his show instead of a fair and balanced(tm) partnering of equals.....

27. All these sewer rats like Hannity, Billo, Turdbottom, Dickie, Rummy Libby, Wolfie & the rest
of the furry varmints should be all collected and sent to the NEW George W. Bush Memorial SEWER Treatment Facility to live amoungst their same kind happily ever after.

32. idiot Dobbs is trying that fishing bait too.
ever since Obama mentioned xenophobia in regards to immigration and called the Dobbs show out, Lou has a new purpose in life - gettng even more outraged, and outrageous.

as IF Obama would pay attention to pond scum like that.
and if he did decide to, he'd slay them and their teeth would still be rattling after the deed.

Nothing to gain by that hosting a dishonest propagandist's show.

37. Hmmmm. Sounds like Hannity wants to play Lucy to Obama's Charlie Brown
when she holds the football and assures Charlie that she WILL hold the football in place this time.

Yeah, right.

39. Obama SHOULD take him up on his offer.
The ability to call Hannity a liar to his face with 3-4 million people watching would be nice.

42. I think ratings would go through the roof with Obama KO-ing Sean to which FOX would
need to have trauma doctors on stand-by armed with a defibrillator and adrenaline to resuscitate Hannity.

I think Senator Obama's got better things to do.

44. I agree but kidding aside, it would be a delicious spectacle to watch that fat head Hannity stutter
himself into oblivion. Hannity can shout all he wants but by his own loud-mouthed actions, he alone will drive the last rusty spike into his wooden coffin for all to see.
