Hannity Makes A Big Deal Out Of Christine “Not A Witch” O’Donnell’s Endorsement Of Mitt Romney
If there’s a doubt in anyone’s mind that Fox News will cheerlead almost any Republican, no matter how foolish or inconsequential, check out tonight's Hannity segment that trumpeted Christine "I'm not a witch" O’Donnell’s endorsement for the 2012 Republican primary. The thought crossed my mind that the whole thing was a sneaky way of making Romney look bad.

In any event, Fox has already recast him as a respectable campaign analyst.

Hannity And Obama-Smearing Guests Complain About Not Being Invited To The White House
Following in Donald Trump’s shoes of the night before, Sean Hannity, Monica Crowley and Sandra Smith – all Obama-smearers extraordinaire - wondered why they were not invited to a White House party for the media last night. Although it’s probably perfectly obvious to anyone familiar with these three that none of them deserve the dignity of being treated as legitimate media professionals, for those who might not know them, this very discussion was a perfect example of why not.

Huntsman Blasts Trump On Hannity: He “Really Dumbs Down” The Campaign
Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman visited Hannity last night (12/6/11) to answer Donald Trump’s swipe at him on the show the night before, after Huntsman declined to participate in Trump’s GOP debate later this month.
