WOW all numbers are down except Hannity!!! He is burning them up! Sharpie beat Eddie in the key demo
Mayor Booker finds out the truth is not O.K. with the democrats…
AND THEIR OFF
Coming up on the home stretch Hannity makes a move on O’Reilly, with CNN & MSNBC falling behind.
Hannity beat O’Reilly in the demo in prime time! Lol
@ Ratboy
Hope O’Reilly don’t notice he won’t lead into Hannity show now because Hannity beat him in radio. God only knows what he will do with this. Lol
@ coffee
Did Hannity sign his contract yet. lol
@Joan
O’Reilly is signed but as of yet Hannity has not renewed but it should come soon, O’Reillys contract is reported at 11 Million per year and Hannity’s should be about half that
PS:
It became known as well O’Reilly was very close to announcing he was retiring, but wanted to continue so those who work for him could keep their jobs.
HANNITY ROCKS While MSNBC continues to SUCK !
Hannity is due for a raise while Oreilly’s eleven million a year
is money well spont.
Bottom line…….either salary is more than the entire talking
heads on MSNBC or CNN make.
AND….a helluva lot more that Keith Olbermann’s unemployment check.
ROTFLMAO OOOOOOOOOH TINGLES!!
Furious Chris Matthews Fulminates: Cory Booker ‘Betrayed’ and ‘Sabotaged’ Obama
A furious Chris Matthews on Monday railed against Cory Booker for his “betrayal” and “sabotage” of fellow Democrat Barack Obama. A bewildered Matthews couldn’t understand why the Newark mayor would “trash” the President.
Howling over Booker’s break from party loyalty, Matthews snarled, “… I think [this] was an act of sabotage. Whatever the intention was, [Booker] was trashing the entire Obama campaign of the summer.”

Desperate Fox Nationalists Launch ‘Obama Regime’ Meme
In a textbook example of a biased media enterprise succumbing to desperation, the Fox Nation has taken to employing highly charged words that insinuate evil intent on the part of President Obama and the executive branch of the United States government. When referencing the Obama administration the Fox Nationalists are routinely calling it the “Obama Regime.”
