    Annual reminder that it’s now been 14 years since Hannity promised to be waterboarded for charity.

    He talks a big game, but that’s all it is – and his talk gets cheaper by the day.

      Wait we had the chance to waterboard him and we didn’t take it?

        Hannity taking this guy down with his epic martial arts skills on live TV could be bigger than Geraldo opening Capone’s safe

          Yeah, but depraved as TV has a reputation for being, there’s still a bit of a taboo against showing someone getting turned into pink mist on live TV.

    Hannity should challenge Steven Seagal to a fight. Winner becomes king of the douchebags.

      I like to think they both shit themselves and it’s called a draw.

    A single round from an AR15 can amputate a limb.

    Good luck, fuckface.

      It could also amputate nearly a whole Sean Hannity from an otherwise perfectly serviceable limb.

      Crucially, it can do so at hundreds of yards distance. Which is longer than his reach, last time I saw him on TV.

    He also said he could handle waterboarding, but has never had the plums to put that to the test.

    This is simply another instance of Sean Hannity writing checks with his mouth that his ass can’t cash.

    Quite frankly, I doubt that he could handle an unarmed assailant.

      At least Christopher Hitchens put his money where his mouth is and changed his mind immediately.

        That was immediately respect-worthy. He emerged from it traumatized, even by the brief experience, and said it was absolutely, 100% torture.

    I’m pretty sure he and many of his ilk talk shit like this strictly so they will be quoted in the news and thus stay in the public eye.

    Hannity has never struck me as someone with even the slightest bit of intelligence. I’m sure he was chosen for his role because he was telegenic enough and could spout all the politically correct conservative talking points that Limbaugh was saying on the radio.
