Waterboard Weasel Sean Hannity Welshes On A Dinner Bet, Too

Guest Austan Goolsbee pretty much demolished Sean Hannity's plans to spend yet another segment obsessing about his high taxes by way of pretending to care about Phil Mickelson. First, Goolsbee swatted away Hannity's claim that Mickelson pays more than 60% by noting that his accountants have said otherwise. Then, Goolsbee smacked down Hannity's contention that he pays 60% by pointing out that Hannity pays 60% “on the millionth dollar, not the first 300, 400,000.” That first $300-400,000 was obviously chump change to to the multimillionaire, self-styled “Great American.” Then Goolsbee brought up the dinner bet.

“I have a bone to pick with you, Sean,” Goolsbee said. “We made a bet on the election that you were going to take me to dinner if the president won. Well, we just had the inauguration. He won, Sean. And my friend Mario in Chicago, he watches your show. He told me you would never take a Democrat to dinner. He said it would never happen.” So Goolsbee pulled out a Nathan's hotdog nugget.

Rather than offer to take Goolsbee to dinner, Hannity said, “Show everybody the Ruth's Chris gift certificate I gave you. I sent that a month ago.” He forgot to mention that that gift was quite self-serving given that Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is a big advertiser on Hannity's radio show.

And then it was back to Mickelson.

By the way, today makes 1373 days, or 3 years, 9 months, 2 days, since Hannity promised to undergo waterboarding for charity as proof that it's not torture.

If we stopped the press every time Sean Hannity failed to keep a promise, we’d have to change the expression to just screaming his name.

He couldn’t keep a promise if he tried.

Someone should point out to Hannity (and his cronies) that paying higher taxes is one of the ways he might compensate for evading military service. How does he “earn” his “Great American” status?

I haven’t heard many commercials in the past year or so from Ruths Chris on Slanthead’s radio hatefest. But maybe they’re still connected… perfect corporation for Hannity since of course they turned their back on New Orleans after Katrina!

As far as taking anyone to dinner, Hannity’s fine dinning experiences are strictly limited to Mickey D’s.

That’s where he finds his “favorite meal”.. a Big Mac, supersized (and oversalted) fries and multiple 64oz sugar drinks.

This is the meal he keeps feeding his kids. Hannity probably wants them to be full-blown Type IIs by the time their 20 years old!

Free meal or not, I’m not exactly sure who would want to be seen in public with Sean. I would suggest we would get it to go.

@joe W. When I walk into an establishment and FoxGOPTV is on the teevee, I politely ask them to change the channel to real news or ESPN. They usually change it with no questions asked. I’ve never had any refuse. And you know what else? Nobody in the establishment minds. In fact, a few have applauded.

I will not spend a dime of my money in any restaurant, coffee shop, or fast food joint that has Fox on their TV.

When I walk in and Fox is on I ask for the manager/owner and inform them they have just lost my patronage as long as Fox is their choice for TV.

KKKlownnity:
“Show everybody the Ruth’s Chris gift certificate I gave you. I sent that a month ago.”

Advice to Mr. Goolsbee.

Just take the gift certificate.

You don’t want to see what Sean “GOKKUN” Hannity eats for dinner.

@al in la AMEN! Always remember:

$$$$ TALKS — BULLS**T WALKS!

For the record, I’m now in my fifth year of boycotting a Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant near me because the manager of this restaurant is a HUGE Faux Spews Channel fan, especially Sean KKKlannity. I’ve backed up my “LOSE FOX NEWS CHANNEL OR YOU’LL LOSE MY BUSINESS!” ultimatum.

Mickelson is already backing off his statements, because he knows he’ll be losing sponsors in droves if he continues to sound like, well, Sean Hannity. I bet the house Hannity’s people are trying to book Mickelson as a guest as we speak. Hannity never misses a chance to suck up to any celebrity who backs his views, which would amount to about 5 people in the world.

Dumbya’s massive tax cuts for the rich folk like KKKlannity drove our economy into a deep recession. We can’t go back to those days again.

Suggestion: Contact Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and inform them you will NEVER dine there as long as they continue to support that lying sake of shit!!!

(Real easy for vegans, by the way)

Jack Benny would envy Sean.

“Instead of making good on his offer to take Democrat Austan Goolsbee to dinner, Hannity sent him a gift certificate to his big advertiser steakhouse.”

and instead of being waterboarded for charity, Hannity took a shower for hygiene.

Hannity is a sleazy worm. I am talking about some of Hannity’s more positive points now.
