Isn't this just PRECIOUS?!

This story is just too precious. Too brilliant. Too ...well, perfect. Michael Moore is scheduled to speak at Washington University in St. Louis on Friday - the same day and the same place as the next Presidential debate. The student body decided it would be nice to present a counterpoint to Moore's point. After all, isn't that what college is all about? Getting different viewpoints out in the open to let people ... reflect and decide? Hannity won't be attending after all. Why? The reason is just TOO perfect. Mr. anti-elitist. Mr. working guy. The reason is funny enough. But even better than that. Even more perfect and brilliant: he didn't want people to find out his reason why he was pulling out.

After promising to counter Michael Moore's speech this Friday, the conservative commentator pulled out of the deal less than a week before his scheduled appearance-but reportedly asked that the media not be informed of his motivations for the decision. Hannity cited personal reasons for his cancellation, said law student Ruth Hollander after speaking with the right-wing pundit over the phone yesterday. Hannity, Hollander said, requested a private jet to fly him to St. Louis for the speech, but then rejected 'several' different jets offered by a private donor. He told Hollander about a 'bad experience' with the prominent company that had manufactured all the jets offered for his trip. '[Hannity's agent] said he thought we should say that because of the short time frame involved, it didn't work out,' said Hollander. 'I said I didn't think that was the truth, and...I really felt we had met all of our commitments and we were going to be honest when asked.'" When Hollander and fellow law student Melinda Gorman failed to locate a jet manufactured by another company, they offered Hannity a first-class ticket on a commercial flight. He refused. "He was very forceful on the phone," said Hollander. "It was hard to get a word in edgewise with him. He was interrupting me a lot. But that's sort of the nature of his personality-at least, his radio personality and T.V. personality."

Bullying? Interrupting? Refused to compromise? Refused a commercial first-class ticket? The private jets weren't good enough? What a prancing primadonna. What a piece of unmitigated dreck. What a phony. What an imbecile. What a liar. What a piece of garbage.
