[Fox News] Why does Sean Hannity always throw that football before commercial breaks?

why did david letterman throw cards through the window and toss his pencil in the air?
Why does conan dance?
Why does rome crumple paper?

isnt it obvious?!

racists.

 

Busy hands.

It's funny.

Hates trees.

 

I'd laugh at this if it probably wasn't true. But it probably is why. Does this sort of crap actually make him more appealing to some people? Are there actually people out there thinking "Ahh, Hannity! I love how he throws that football! He's such a true American!"? Do these very same people breathe only through their mouth and lack critical thinking skills or the ability to think on their own? Probably.

 

If they're watching Sean Hannity, the answer is obviously 'yes.'

 

Total number of college degrees for Hannity, Limbaugh, and Beck?

Zero.

Call me a liberal elitist if you want, but when your top three spokespeople can only claim a high school education, something's amiss.

(In all fairness, Hannity did get an honorary degree from Liberty U.)

 

They are living the dream. Anyone can be rich and successful. I mean, they accomplished it.

 

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to rimrocker again.

I always found it funny how these guys with no college degree think they know more about the Constitution than a former professor of constitutional law at a prestitous university.

www.collegedropoutshallofshame.com's list is quite a bit longer.

for every success story, there's several thousand failboaters.

 

He sounds like a real go-getter. Is he interested in a new job?

 

Not at all. My claim was definitely tongue-in-cheek, but I said "mainly comprised of people who were jocks, or those that respected them personally or the high school clique-hierarchy." The latter group refers to the "band geeks, glee club members, drill team girls", as you said.

Basically, observing an American HS lunch room, one sees different groups have different power and influence. This culture is unique to American high schools, along with some in Canada + UK. Years ago, I was in a student exchange program, and so I visited high schools in France, Germany, and Korea where I saw little of American high school culture.

This book (Amazon link), "Learning Capitalist Culture", by Doug Foley shows from an anthropological perspective how someone who goes to high school in America is transformed by peer pressure, ethnicity, and socio-economic status along with other factors.

Anyone who has studied social theory, especially the Marxist kind, will get the gist of what I'm saying.

 

3 does not a roll make. I never ruin a roll where the entire thread is owned.

 

I never put it all together until just now. Holy crap you just blew my mind.

 

Good stuff, but I think you're wrong regarding Hannity. As is the case with a lot of Repub leaders, I don't think he was part of that group, but I do think he desperately wanted to be... furthermore, he didn't go to a regular HS, but rather a small, all-male Roman Catholic preparatory seminary.

 

Oh that he is. IIRC he works for Focus on the Family, an Evangelical organization with deep pockets and influence, possibly as a lobbyist.

 

Isn't it possible, they just needed to do something to occupy the transition to commercial and they didn't want him to just stand there like a tool?

 

jim rome got his start in sales and it seems a lot of talk show hosts of all genres who aren't journalists come from that arena.

 

Just for grins...

Our class president was also the Valedictorian. He was an uber-nerd who ended up designing chips or something at AMD.

Model UN Representative was a quasi-Carlton Banks looking guy who ended up working for TX State Govt.

Prom king was a non-football guy, but rich and on the honor roll.

Most likely to succeed was another nerdy guy who went to Julliard on a piano scholarship and is now a lawyer.

The one who went on to play pro football didn't win any honors, even though he was also really smart and ended up majoring in genetics.

We also had a guy who was really smart and hosting his own radio show on the local radio station, but he didn't win anything. He's now a news guy in B-CS (Jon Boaz).

Our QB was a Parade All-American, signed with UH, got busted for some petty crimes, led Navarro JC to the JC national championship, and never played after that.

My HS might have been a bit outside the norm though, since it was the only school in a college town.

 

Aren't you from Huntsville?

 

Yep. I'll always be a Hornet.
