Good for you. In a fair world, Hannity would host the second most popular afternoon sports-talk radio show in Muncie or Waycross and would be forced to do commercials for local tire dealers to make his alimony payments. He's a meathead.

Former co-president Hannity is typical, but instead of "he Who Shall Not Be Named," I prefer the more descriptive "The Orange Piece of Sh*t Still Clinging to the A**hole of America," with apologies to all of the other countries that make up America. I've always assumed that the "top" conservatives know that all the garbage peddled by Fox and the other right wing megaphones was just pablum for the rubes, but more and more I'm thinking that a lot of those folks actually believe that all stuff.

Lord, I wish I could have seen you corner His Sliminess, Lucian. That must have been fun!

Wow! Good for you! I wonder if anyone within today’s Fox News orbit would actually care to respond to the lies and force a retraction when there’s an outright prevarication. I’m going to share this with my Trumplethinskin family and friends (sorry. Acquaintances.) who think Fox and OneAmerica are legit news sources.

Lucian, from your lips to God’s ear, regarding Hannity and the subpoena.

This must be the reason why the former guy has announced that he won't be speaking on January 6th, because his shit is about to personally hit the fan.

Hannity had better learn a few things about lying-one that you don't do it to Congress and second he'd better show up for the meeting if he gets a subpoena because Contempt of Congress is a federal offense. I'm sure he doesn't want to go to jail for Trump, does he?

I hope he goes down the river personally-he's done nobody any good.

With those "Close Encounters", I'm sure you felt the need to shower after. Good to hear you punched back at the mendacious troll.

In his texts to meadows I'm wondering why he was “worried” what would happen in the next 48 hours from Jan 5 night. It would've been say 18 hours before the 1pm Electoral count. What was hannity worried about happening in the following 30 hours?

Damn. Great story. Thought honestly, it's depressing that a major on-air "news"caster would do something like what he did to you.

I’d say bless you, Lucian, although I lack the power, and the supreme being in the sky might be focused on other things, like upping her Vit D intake or avoiding gluten to avoid focusing on the inanities of us fellow Earthians

Lucian, what a great, and I am sure, true story about one of the anti American mouths from faux. My cousin was WP '70, I was USNA '71, and my brother was WP '73. I thoroughly enjoy your column and that of Heather Cox Richardson

Lucian, thank you for your dedication to truth telling.

If TFG is Voldemort (He who shall not be named) Hannity is the leader of the Death Eaters.

Truth again my brother in arms and my long appreciation for your service, talent and your ability to call bullshit when you see it. Thank you!

Yes Hannity is bebeath contempt. But surely it's relevant that Dalek bossman, Davros, in his Earthly guise and clone, the demented Rupert Murdoch, is the Lord High Puppet Master; the creepy, lying Fox puppets are only doing his bidding, and he is the truly evil watcher behind the arras, unfortunately without a Hamlet ready to deal with him.

Lucian, do you have any idea why Hannity took off after you like that? or where he got his "information"? It seems to bizarre, even for him, esp. considering it was 1998. Fwiw, lately Hannity has been looking a lot like Newt Gingrich. His face has gone full Botox.
