I have mixed feelings about this.
I wouldn't have wanted to see it continue much longer. I'd rather see Kimmel go after more worthy targets than Hannity.
OTOH, Hannity will probably gloat about "winning" -- even though the only mature response would be to thank Kimmel and apologize for this own rhetoric.
So far he's just tweeted that he's aware of Kimmel's statement and will respond to it on his show tomorrow (has to drive up ratings now that Rachel is beating him).

(54,087 posts)Still, I love those digs on Hannity's "new-found advocacy for women." That's well played.
But on the whole, celebrity feuds are dumb. On Twitter they ramp up to "super dumb"

(14,167 posts)Where is the apology? It looks like more subtle digs at Hannity's sudden advocacy for women.
This almost feels like a prelude to a Hannity sex scandal.

Hannity better make nice and do it quickly or he will unquestionably be the bad guy no matter what Kimmel said.

Reading that Sean Hannity dropped dead tonight would be nice. Then I could look forward to the morning talking heads discuss something pleasant for a change.
