Ode to Sean Hannity
By Jove, I hate you.
In response to Sean Hannity’s despotic campaign to solidify the tenuous link between Barack Obama and 60s radical Bill Ayers, and his ridiculous double-standards, Monty Python member John Cleese has written a bit of truth about the good-for-nothing mudslinging conservative pundit.
This one’s for you, Sean, and your dissolute employer, Faux News.
Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity
And to think, Harding University had him come to speak on campus last year. For those of you who didn’t go, between the Clinton jokes and the patriotic nonsense, nothing was said. Oh, but he did rip-a-new-one for a HU student who considered himself a pacifist. That was classy.
Perhaps the only person competing with Sean Hannity for most hated political pundit is Lou Dobbs. We need a poem for him.
Thanks, John, for the poetic justice. What’s next, the Fox News anchors that say “Ni?”

What is “pee-otic” justice?
I once wrote a poem to Sarah Palin, but it has an extremely inappropriate word or two, so I won’t post it here…
I for one am not a Hannity fan. Perhaps that is suprising considering my political views. This guy just doesn’t have an off switch. I despise leftist thinking but I am not filled with uncontollable righteous indignation at the thought of it. He seems to be less intellectual than some other conservative commentators in media today. Harding made a terrible mistake in bringing him to speak.
For my money, Limbaugh is a far better thinker and does more good for our cause than Hannity. You may laugh but listen to him and I think you will see that he is a bit more principled and makes far better arguments
Um, Limbaugh once said that feminism was established “to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.”
Oh yeah. That’s great quality thinking right there.
Existing on a higher intellectual plane than Sean Hannity is not exactly a high bar to get over….
I’ll give Limbaugh this; he is tremendously talented on terms of the skills needed to have a successful radio show. And he is actually capable of making a cogent intellectual(ish) argument. He does the type of thing quoted above to get attention (and ratings). He’s a political shock jock. Its hard to exist as an actual intellectual in the world of for-profit radio. Sadly, there just isn’t much of a market for it.
“What is “pee-otic” justice?”
A poetic way to say poetic.
Not. Just a typo. Thanks for pointing that one out.
Where’s Coleman Yoakum when we need him?
YAY!!!

and the church said….AMEN
I am here Brett. I am here.
Sean Hannity, as is expected, just kind of annoys me. After our “conversation” I really just kind of hated the guy. But, he inspired and solidified my views on many things, so I appreiciate the influence he had on my life.
I also think that the fallout of that event inspired a new level of political thought on campus. So, thought Douchey good things came of it.
you’d like to be ripped a new one wouldnt you. by your boyfriend. and of course, by your liberal thoughts, still go to heaven. i mean, if Obama isnt against it, it must be right in Gods eyes.
that was to coleman. not to you steve.
Obama is the devil incarnate, and the Republican party is Christianity’s vanguard. Here Here, Comrade!
Onward, Christian soldiers. Claim the crown for the all mighty kingdom of God. Lest it end up in the hands of the deceitful heathen of this country, lead by their pernicious leader Hussein.
Bring to us Jesus in ’08!
YesWeCan,
Where do you get your information?
Note: Forwarded emails do not count.
Also… if Bill Ayers is your supposed terrorist, then I would back away from that argument before you start it.
Wait wait, YesWeCan–isn’t Obama already a federal employee? If I’m not mistaken, he’s a US Senator who is privy to lots and lots of classified information.
When someone uses more than one name, we mark them as spam.
What other name is YesWeCan using?
what is all this “YesWeCan” business? i don’t see any comments from such name. based on the responses, though, they seem quite juicy!
I just followed the link above and went to Libertas Exemplar for the first time. Holy crap. It really is like a parody. Why do you guys bother participating on there? They’re hopeless beyond belief. Is it because you go to the same school or something?
I don’t.
If I had to rank my addictions, I think Libertas Exemplar would be at the top of that list. I can’t explain why, but I can’t stop. Its equal parts hilarious and maddening.
yeah, i have to second kolby’s comment. i love replying with a well reasoned, factually sound argument against what they say and, all the while, trying to imagine the irrational and backwards response i will receive. it’s sort of like picking on the retarded kid at church because you know it will result in him streaking through the auditorium during the sermon. we all know it’s mean but it’s just too funny to quit.
Ah, yes. Sort of like Freud’s primitive instinct–the death wish, or as he puts it, “the instinct to return to the inanimate state.”
Sort of like a fetish, yes?
j_ball – “retarded kid”? And you give those guys at LE a hard time for saying stupid things?!
Intellectual masochism perhaps?
oh come on karen l. my shenanigans are cheeky and funny. their shenanigans are cruel and tragic. Which wouldn’t make them shenanigans, at all, really.
(Irish voice) Evil shenanigans!
“YesWeCan” was also using the name “nhorton”.
ahhhhhahahahahahahahaaa
You don’t call a retard “retard.” You call your friends “retard.” When they’re being retarded.
-Michael Scott
But seriously, you picked on the retarded kid? In church!?
It’s surprising how many of you liberals go to churches that have retarded people in them. My church believed retards weren’t authorized by scripture. The word “retard” never appears once in the Bible. It’s a fact. Look it up.
JH, I cannot begin to put into words how hard I just laughed at that comment.
well, perhaps “picked on” isn’t the proper nomenclature. it was more like “befriending him, so we could convince him to do whatever we told him to do.”
am i really the only person who did this? i’m not particularly proud of it, but i can’t deny its comic value.
JH, we actually baptized our retarded guy. at which point he ceased to be retarded and now blogs over at libertas exemplar.
