I'm finding this very amusing. Sean Hannity is treating Michael Avenatti's offer to go on his show the same way he treated his OWN offer to be waterboarded for charity NINE YEARS AGO. By hiding under his bed, hoping nobody knows he's home.
Here's what's been going on:
--Hannity sends his sheepish followers a tweet trashing Michael Avenatti, saying he should concentrate instead on (insert Right Wing Nut Job Hillary conspiracy of the week here).
--Avenatti tweets back that he'd be glad to go on Hannity's show to debate him "one street fighter to another."
--Hannity says nothing. Hides under his bed and pretends he didn't see the tweet.
--The Wrap (aka 'The Crap') calls this a 'smack down' by Hannity.

--Hannity hides behind Laura Ingraham's skirt. Gets HER to ask Avenatti on her show.
--Avenatti (wisely) says thanks but no thanks. I'm still waiting for HANNITY.

Avenatti is basically doing THIS. And we know how it ends...

(5,953 posts)Hannity is a whiny little chickenshit, who plays with a toy football, and has managed to convince his knuckle-dragging followers that he's some kind of a tough guy. Yet he alone is the only Fux Noise opinion show host who NEVER invites any guests on his show who have a differing view.
Even that pilsbury doughboy in a bow tie, who inherited a fortune from the Swanson TV dinner empire, Tucker Carlson makes it a point to invite people with opposing views on his show. Sure, he always invites people who couldn't debate their way out of a paper bag. And then proceeds to humiliate them. But at least he INVITES them.
It's sort of like when a lousy, half-assed, professional boxer puts on a show tournament by inviting amatures to box him for prize money. But he'd never dare challenge another REAL boxer. That's a standard Fox News trick. They basically get LIVE 'straw men' who are poor debaters to come on their show, specifically to be knocked down. It's a cheap trick, but chickenshit Hannity won't even do THAT. As a lousy professional boxer, he won't put on a tournament like that because he's actually afraid some starving homeless guy might accidentally hit his glass jaw, and he'll go down like a sack of fertilizer.

(31,097 posts)a liberal talk show and you are a rightwinger you will go to the top of the line, if you are a liberal and you call a rightwinger you wont get on.
We know why

(15,543 posts)so Hannity can therefore show his true republican colors and whimp out again, this time on Avenatti - and keep hiding under his plush, gourmet, gucci-designer royal republican bed. After all, the republican-russian leader demonstrates full-time whimpery and whinery - and he is THE freaking republican family-values role model. Hannity is just submissively following the example of his hero and role model.

Probably he's on a par with Cheeto, except with a little more self-awareness.
