What's not to love about Duck Dynasty's bigoted Phil Robertson if you're Sean Hannity? Robertson was a big deal at the recent Republican Leadership Conference. Apparently, the GOP attendees not only didn’t mind Robertson’s homophobia and racism, they saw it as godly. So Hannity followed up his televised slobberfest with Robertson with a fawning visit to the Duck Dynasty compound. “All this week, we’re going to be showing you parts of the trip,” he promised. Oh, and pimping Duck Dynasty products, too.
After spending about 12 minutes with newly-minted Republican icon Phil Robertson last week, Hannity then spent about 5 minutes with Robertson's son and other members of the family last night. That included plenty of time for him to show off samples of Duck Dynasty cigars, honey, tea cup and music recording.
There was time for this group of millionaires to bash ObamaCare, too.
Move over Spring Break. It’s now Duck season. But something tells me this isn’t going to be any more successful in bringing in younger viewers.
I think Hannity would settle for middle aged, down from geriatric.
No, I didn’t hear him offer to take anyone out to eat. However, this was supposed to be a weeklong visit with this “godly” family. But there was no visit tonight. I guess “good Christian” Hannity was too busy attacking Obama and Bergdahl.
Do you think, Ellen, that this is what Slanthead is trying to do — lower his show’s demo from aging idiots, to millennials and other young people?
Is there any research that shows that 18-34 year olds love shooting defenseless birds out of the sky?
Ah… maybe it’s the gay-bashing and racist way of life so ably demonstrated by the Robertsons? That certainly has to be the main, if not only reason, Hannocchio has fallen in love with them so much. After all, why else would someone who grew up as a teen punk on the wrong side of Long Island’s tracks fawn over this crowd from the southern swamps?
As someone else commented in an earlier thread, by making heroes out of Robertson, Sarah Palin and other wackos during last weekend’s conference, the Republicans could easily be handing the election to the Democrats regardless of how much Obama screws up (his snail’s pace reaction to the VA scandal, his unfocused foreign policy and this latest Bergdahl mess, etc.).
Now what I want to really know — and haven’t been able to find out (since my listening and online time has been very limited) — is whether Slanthead took any of the Robertsons out to dinner again at Ruths Chris while they were in New Orleans? Like he did when he hosted a meal for one of the sons and others during the State of the Union earlier this year? Remember that… when Hannity claimed he picked up the whole tab (though that was disputed by others)?
It seems there are one or more Ruths Chris steakhouses open these day in New Orleans, despite the fact that their slimy management totally deserted the city after Katrina — that’s reason I won’t personally patronize them despite my having some nice meals there in earlier days.
Hannocchio seems to think Ruths Chris is the cat’s meow! They don’t seem to be an active advertiser on his failing radio hatefest, but whenever he gets the chance, he’s always handing out free dinners there.
And of course Slanthead is big on steak right now. Just a week ago, he told his handful of radio listeners that honored America’s war dead on Memorial Day by throwing a big slab of steak on his barbeque (he must have been hungry, having walked miles throughout Long Island cemeteries to place flowers at war dead graves — sure!!!).
I think the reality is that Hannocchio knows as much about steak as does an inner city papi who’s worked his ass off all week unloading trucks and celebrates by taking his chica to dinner at one of the Cuban-Chinese restaurants that serve bisteak. If a well aged and marbled prime New York strip steak slapped Hannity in the face, he wouldn’t know it!
Why do I always dwell on Slanthead’s diet? Well, maybe because he spends so much time talking about it. He recently told his interns how much he loves Lipton’s chicken noodle soup!
He hasn’t mentioned Mickey D’s lately, but of course if he was on a budget during his New Orleans trip, maybe that’s where he took the Robertson family. McDonalds hasn’t raised prices, as far as I can tell (since I refuse to set foot in one these days). But if we keep burning fossil fuels at the rate Slanthead adores (does he get secret funding from the Koch brothers?), and more grasslands go barren, they may have to.
Of course, with the salary Hannity gets (at least until his contracts run out), he can probably afford items on McDonalds secret menu. I found a list and pictures for that the other day — here’s just one, for what they called the “monster mac”:

not sure if it was a put on or real, but Hannocchio would know. Send him an e-mail and ask if he can get his cesspool mouth around that!!!
He pimped the wealthy oil boys last week, now he is pimping the wealthy country boys.
If these Duck Men were Muslim, Hannocchio would not go near them, and they wouldn’t be the Fox “News” darlings.
Cafeteria Catholic Kilmeade said on his little show that men with those kinds of beard look like Talibans. The Stop Hannity Express media partners will compare the Duck Men to Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s father.
Suggestions:
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s father’s beard is a problem with Fox “News” hosts, except for the Duck Men. Where is the difference?
Post in all social media.
Obama bashing with product placement. Geez.
