They do it to get that tingle down their legs and to give their brain dead watchers something to grin stupidly about.

yes it does!! how about a Anthony Weiner and Elizabeth Warren on the ticket someday,,, maybe 2016

The only time I prefer Weiner to Bush is in politics.

::giggle::

That would be THE Ticket.

HAHAHA.....LMMFHO

I give Rep. Weiner huge kudos for having the guts to do battle with these absolute liars and frauds.
I can't make up my mind if a complete boycott would be good or bad.
I'm thinking that every once in a while someone sane needs to appear on Fox Republican Propaganda and Fear Channel.

Fox has more left wing pundits on their shows than all the left wing shows combined. Have you ever looked at their list of pundits from the left? I saw a news clip of this conversation.

Weiner never answered the question. He never does. Fox should find someone better. But, Weiner and Hannity are both from New York. Weiner has been a long time NY politician. Hannity has been on the radio in NY just as long. I wouldn't be surprised if they talk on the phone and agree to "get it on" on tv.

It's about ratings. It's why I don't usually watch these shows from either political side except news clips. I do like catching James Carville when he's on. He's funny.

I thought that you said you don't watch any of those shows, so how would you know who has more of what? Watching it on the internet, by the way, is still watching it. I listen to/watch Fox news for nearly 8 hours at a stretch and there is nothing, NOTHING, that resembles anything fair and balanced on that station. NOTHING. I have to read, listen to and watch real news to get the massive slant out of my head after watching that drivel.

I don't sit down and watch the shows on television. I won't waste my time wondering what will be on and waiting for what's next. Clippings are usually available on the internet on the various right and left websites I visit. Then i can decide what to watch. I'll always watch a Weiner clip. He's amusing in an annoying mosquito kind of way. I love watching Carville. While I don't agree with him, he's witty and funny.

Okay. I was just wondering. I don't watch (listen to) Fox by choice, but it gives me the ability to speak on what they are saying with some semblance of authority. I figure it is my penance for something awful I must have done and have forgotten. Take care.

Not to be nit picky but the term relearn suggests she ever knew anything to begin with. ;)

" ... bullshit but not even letting Weiner finish a sentence "

Weiner was asked a question. He ignored the question and went straight to his talking points. Hannity kept interrupting to asking he was going to answer the question. Weiner didn't want to answer because he knew his answer was absurd. With the decifit in the trillions Weiner has 400 million in cuts in mind. It's less than .01% of the budget.

yes he went to talking points-- which ARE his answer. he was getting to raising taxes, maybe cutting everything isn't the solution.

he wasn't given a chance to speak out his thought.

you say you don't watch these shows, so i'll give you a primer, when fox is trying to beat someone they get real literal, hannity would keep interrupting until he hears what Weiner would cut-- and literally, that's all he wants to hear. not any reasons, not facts, he just wants Weiner to say: "military" or "tax cuts" so that Hannity can jump in with his talking points like how he said rich people pay 75% of the taxes, or he'd defend wars and our need to protect our freedoms.

i know you don't like the liberal slant on this site (which still makes me confused that you love to comment on topics you hate so much) but you don't have to be a liberal to see that Fox is shady and ridiculous and plays stupid. no answering or talking points would have satisfied Hannity, you MUST know that-- so stop trying to dissect this like it was a segment of mature adults having a real conversation and that Weiner deserves some blame for "not answering the question"

I watched the clip. I've seen Weiner act the same way to anyone who interviews him regardless of network. I never said I don't like the liberal slant on this site. It makes for interesting conversation when people are civil. I've had some great conversations.

And as you believe I see the world through a certain bias, I can say the same thing about most people on this site. The difference is I'll call out Republicans and right wing pundits too. The only Democrat called out on this site is Obama for not being liberal enough. I also listen to pundits on the left. I'm not going to listen to someone on the right tell me what I should think about a comment someone on the left made. I can think for myself. I question how many people here ever listen to anything but far left. Even my friends who are Democrats don't listen to Hartmann, Schultz and whomever. They think they're too far left.

there's no need for you to "believe" there's a bias here-- it's clear. i've said it out right to you a few times... i said it in the post you replied to.

he's clear and concise on other networks i've seen him on, and when he's uninterrupted on the floor of the house, he has plenty of ideas, he's not just an empty talking points asshole in a suit.

i blame the lack of critique on dems with the fact that they stick to their ideology. help people. whereas with the republicans you pick your complaint- they're a rino, they're a crazy tea party, they flip flop-- the only thing republicans can blanketly cover is that they don't seem to care about helping people, which is the root of the complaints.

Weiner gives the respect that is due to anyone that is interviewing him. If you can not see that this was clearly an opportunity for Hannity to be a rude ass to Weiner while allowing Bachman to essentially say nothing and not even call her on it, you are blind.

When Weiner is on a left leaning show they just let him talk even if he doesn't answer the question, then lap dog into whatever he wants to discuss. Of course there's no interruption.

Hannity lets Bachmann and Palin go on and on so he can record it in his mind and play it back during his wet dreams.
