Ask Hannity: Where's Joe?

Joe Lieberman promised Sean Hannity over two months ago that he would be on his show every month. He even accepted Sean's offer of a "Hannity Conservatives for Lieberman" fundraiser. But Sean, like Joe's Democratic constituents, has been getting the silent treatment lately.

Mike from Calling All Wingnuts has a plan for tomorrow:

Joe may want to put the past behind him, but with Ned Lamont steaming ahead and approaching juggernaut status... Well, I think it's time we throw Holy Joe an anchor...

Sean Hannity is one of the easier of the windbag radio shows to call. His show runs from 3-6 on weekdays and his phone number is 1 800 941 7326.

Our plan: Call Hannity starting at about 2:55 EST. If you get a busy signal, just hit redial. Eventually you will get through. The screener will ask you what you want to talk about. This week, there will be all sorts of interesting things to choose from. Construct any old talking point - liberal or conservative - it doesn't matter because it's not what you'll be talking about anyway. Need some help thinking of something to say? Congress is back in session so you can talk about immigration... the CIA firing will be a big topic... so will race and the Duke rape case... the Sunday gasbags are always good to bring up on Monday...

Anyway, have a short and snappy opinion (email me at stark dot m at gmail dot com if you want help) prepared for the screener. She'll ask you to hold. While you are holding, you'll be forced to listen to Sean rant and rave... Sorry, there is just no getting around it. Every now and then, the screener might come on the line to tell you to "keep it brief". Keep holding...

When Hannity finally announces your name and where you are calling from, you are on the air... you are live.

It's time to remind Hannity that Joe Lieberman (don't say Holy Joe or Joementum - we want all 10 million of Sean's listeners to know exactly who we are speaking of) promised to do Hannity's show once a month... Why has he been absent for the last two months? Ask Hannity why he isn't keeping his solemn vow to his audience - why isn't he holding Joe Lieberman to his promise?

The last time we did anything like this, we targeted Bill O'Reilly for dumping on Keith Olbermann. That worked out pretty well. O'Reilly really showed his ass and ended up the target of derision for weeks...

Let's do the same to Holy Joe and Sean Hannity...
