Would Sean Hannity still talk about Bill Clinton raping and killing people if Bill Clinton was just a former president and Hillary Clinton was just a senator with no prospects of becoming president?

These pundits make their living on phony outrage. They're entertainers putting on an act to get ratings, and make money. If astrological talk radio was popular, Hugh Hewitt might be a psychic.

They say history will judge George Bush kindly because they know it won't. Saying it intrigues people to listen and justify their amoral vote.

If these guys really hate McCain, they would hate their own personal Jesus, Ronald Reagan. Uh oh, I just said the "R" word. Conservatives, go change your pants.

Reagan repealed his own 1981 tax cuts in 1982, supported "shamnesty" for illegal immigrants, and favored diplomacy instead of illegal, pre-emptive wars, sometimes. (Don't tell any Nicaraguans I said that.) If he were running today, they'd probably call him a liberal if it boosted their ratings.

None of these pundits have any respect for Ronald Reagan, nor do they know what he stood for. Read "Let Freedom Ring" by Sean Hannity, and you'll see that all Hannity knows about Reagan is that he beat Walter Mondale in 1984 by a substantial margin.

Ann Coulter's last book, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd be Republicans" was her worst-selling novel (and I use "novel" liberally because there are such things as "historical novels"; her books are more like science fiction screen plays written with Jean Claude Van Dam in mind as the lead). She wasn't invited to this year's CPAC. She's lost newspaper readership over the last two years because of her controversial statements.

She needs someone to mock and throw false accusations at. Otherwise, she'll be even more irrelevant than she already is. You can only call Al Gore and John Edwards "fags" so many times before people realize you've got the mindset of a high school sophomore.

She doesn't think Hillary will be better for America. At least the character she created for television doesn't. She needs Hillary. Otherwise, she, just like Limbaugh, Hannity, Hewitt, Prager, they're finished.
