He was ape about the raw deal Charlie Daniels got for some “A’m an Amerakun” - type song. After numerous rants he finally had Charlie Daniels on the show and he made the mistake of singing that song. I didn’t hear Sean complaining after that, although he continued to identify Daniels as a “Great American”, and also continued to use some other song for his theme music.</p> I was stuck in an office where they played Sean Hannity.

We kill for oil, then we throw a party when we win
Some guy refuses to fight, and we call that the sin
but he’s standing up for what he believes in
and that seems pretty damned American to me
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

Living in the wasteland of the free
where the poor have now become the enemy
Let’s blame our troubles on the weak ones
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy
Living in the wasteland of the free

While we sit gloating in our greatness
justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea
Living in the wasteland of the free

Here’s yer campaign song, Straight Talkin’ McBain — The Mob Goes Wild by Clutch.

Money excerpt:

Condoleezza Rice is nice, but I prefer A-Roni.
And that man on the T.V. who speaks to the dead, you know that man’s a phony.
Everybody move to Canada and smoke lots of pot.
Everybody move to Canada right now. Here’s how we do it:
Bum rush the border guard before he and his dog ever knew it.

And that’s about the least political part.

My favorite line.

Conservatives don’t know their pop culture any better than they know anything else.
