USO Entertainers: Letterman and Franken-yes, O'Reilly and Hannity - no
There is an ad in today's Hollywood Reporter listing entertainers who took part in USO tours this year.

Not so surprising when you see who REALLY supports the troops.

No Limbaugh listed either by the way.

1. And did the "redneck comedy tour" guys go USO?
I'd expect they didn't.

Franken's been going for years, and the troops fuckin' love him.

"American Idol" can go on tour (Diana DeGarmo, the runner up to Fantasia) than surely O'Reilly can. I find it very interesting how they are the biggest supporters but don't do shit. There's a Military Idol??? What's that? Is it like "American Idol" but for those in the military?

10. I love what Franken says
He says to his wife it's not fair for O'Reilly or Rush because they aren't talented. :P

14. It's like Al Franken told Sean Hannity....
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 08:01 PM by DesertedRose
To go on a USO tour would mean you would need to be TALENTED...which is why Sean hasn't been on one. :evilgrin:

BOY was Sean pissed :-)
(great minds, Freedom Angel ;-) )

15. But, but, but, Hannity Insanity said he'd "never been invited"
I swear I heard him say this once when I flipped on his radio show to see what the RNC talking points for the day were.
