I've Met the Enemy, and He Is Us

|

Sean Hannity will apparently end each episode of his new TV show by handing out an "Enemy of the State" award , which I gather is supposed to be a bad thing (there was a time when conservatives would have worn such a title with pride).

The first award went to Sean Penn, in part for calling Sean Hannity names, finally confirming that Sean Hannity is indeed a programmable propaganda bot for the White House—that is, part of "the state."

Whatever your opinion of Sean Penn the activist, Hannity's jab at the end of the clip about Sean Penn the actor is almost objectively untrue . I'd put the guy among the top five actors of his generation. Yes, you can quibble with that.

But a bad actor? Pshaw. Hannity really hurt his credibility with that one.

Stop laughing.
