Hannity Makes Romney Vs. Holyfield Match About Himself

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on April 22, 2015 · Flag

Mitt Romney and Evander Holyfield visited the Hannity show to talk about an upcoming boxing match – yes, boxing match – between them to benefit charity.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the Romney-Holyfield match is the marquee event in a night of other bouts between real prize fighters.

But host Sean Hannity was so busy talking about himself, we never got to hear much about the event or even the charity it benefits.

Hannity’s first question was to Holyfield: “You know I trained in martial arts and I wouldn’t want to get in a ring with you unless I could use all – unless I could use every dirty technique that I’m learning.”

Holyfield said he’s not going to hit Romney, “but it’s going to be something good, though.”

Romney said he’s been training “in a manner of speaking.” He said he was “in a boxing ring the other day with a trainer and he showed me where I’m supposed to hold my hands.”

So Hannity broke in to offer advice: “You’ve got to keep your hands up.”

“If he starts throwing anything, I’m going down fast,” Romney said, laughing.

“I actually trained with Chuck Liddell,” Hannity brought up, apropos of nothing related to Romney or Holyfield. But there just happened to be some video handy. You may recall it from last month.

“He taught me his big overhand and I’m doing my martial arts here with him. That’s his particular punch,” Hannity explained. “So I’d get in a ring with you for charity but I’ve got to use all my dirty fighting techniques ‘cause I learned street martial arts.”

Even as Holyfield began to talk, Hannity interrupted. “It’s a lot of eye-poking… I’m gonna break your jaw, I’m gonna pull you in, choke you out.”

Finally, more than halfway in, Romney got a chance to explain the charity. Briefly.

Hannity closed the segment by saying, “I could name a few people I’d want to get with in the ring. We’ll save that for another show.”

I’m probably one of them, once he gets wind of this post. Not that I'm making this post about me or anything.

Watch the ego strutting below, from last night’s Hannity.

Hannity couldn’t kick his own ass…in or out of the ring. Should sign him up to fight a Muslim…priceless.

Hannity awkwardly wrecked that whole thing.
I felt like I was being waterboarded.

Boy, any excuse to pull out the clip of Hannity playing tough guy with his personal trainers.

Thanks for posting the link to the Tribune article, it’s a pretty fun idea. 1920’s style club-fight setting, huh? Does that mean they will be drinking their whiskey out of teacups? ;-)

What is with these rich guys who go on Dancing with the Stars or want to get into a ring with an aging prize fighter? They either have too much time on their hands, have a bizarre need to be loved by everyone, or are just interested in being in the spotlight.

Either way, it seems odd to me…

No adult male should wear his baseball hat backwards — like Sean Hannity did in his “I’m a tough guy because I am training with an expensive trainer” video sequence he aired this past winter.

(unless said adult male is an active catcher on a baseball team)

Romney must have a fetish for getting beat by black men.

Hannocchio couldn’t box his way out of a paper bag blindfolded. This Long Island Lolito is nothing but a showboat and a coward.

He acts tough in front of the cameras, but the man is a weakling. He is afraid to man-up and waterboard himself for charity which benefits our troops.

The Stop Hannity Express would not be interested in getting in the ring with an old man like Hannocchio. It would be like fighting your grandparents.

NOTE TO HANNITY

You should fear Merri Jill more than Holyfield.

Oh, wouldn’t it be lovely if someone offered to take up Hannity on his boxing offer and then they showed up with a bucket of water and a towel, just to watch Hannutty either have a “something suddenly came up” moment* or crap his pants.

*Courtesy of “The Brady Bunch.” Marcia asks Greg some advice on how to break a date without hurting the other person’s feelings and Greg tells her an old favorite of his is “Something suddenly came up” because it’s virtually impossible to disprove. (This appears in the classic episode where Marcia’s nose gets in the way of Peter and Bobby’s little football game.)

Ellen, I had no idea today was the anniversary — ironic, isn’t it?

Hannity isn’t smart enough to be interested in other people. In a segment later in the show, I turned it off as he was telling a former deputy national security adviser she was “delusional” about Iran.

mj – thanks for reminding me. Today is the sixth anniversary of Hannity’s promise to be water boarded!

Hannity closed the segment by saying, “I could name a few people I’d want to get with in the ring.”

And I could name ONE person I’d want to see follow through on that promise he made a few years ago to get waterboarded — seeing as he seems so eager to prove how much of a tough guy he is . . .

Hannity's ego knows no bounds.
