Kung Fu Hannity is back at it again! And by “it” I mean being an idiot. In an interview with the New York Times, he made a swipe at his fellow Fox News hosts and said that his show paid all the bills:
Mr. Hannity’s full-throated embrace of Mr. Trump has been at the root of some internal dust-ups, including the tiff with Ms. Kelly. (The anchors later posted a photograph of themselves smiling together, with the caption, “It’s complicated.”) Asked about balancing news coverage with Mr. Hannity’s advocacy, Jay Wallace offered a diplomatic reply: “It is nuanced.”
“There is competition between the shows,” he added. “If all the shows were the same, why would anyone tune in?”
Mr. Hannity, interviewed in a Fox dressing room here Monday evening, was asked if he had faced internal pushback for promoting the Trump campaign.
“My bosses have only given me nothing but support and appreciation for the high ratings I get,” Mr. Hannity replied, as a makeup artist fussed with his hair. “As far as my colleagues? I don’t mean this to be disrespectful, but I don’t care what they think. They’ve got their role, and I’ve got mine.”
And his role is to pucker up and plant his lips on Trump’s orange butt.
He also thinks his show is carrying the network apparently:
Soon, Mr. Hannity had taken his perch for that evening’s broadcast, a light Las Vegas wind rustling his suit. He spotted this reporter and gave a shout.
“This is the spice!” he said, laughing, referring to his show. “We’re getting back to the spicy part of the network, the one that pays the bills.”
He added, “No one wants to talk about that part.”
Yeah, nobody talks about it because it ain’t true.
