4. Fortunately, this gas bag has no real creds

7. The one and only time I ever agreed with hannity
I was channel surfing one time and came across hannity. He had Mrs. Phelps, whose name I can't remember now, on and even hannity said "You look like some kind of witch. Why should anyone take you seriously?" I was simply stunned and then laughed my butt off.
