Hannity Next Target of Democrat Smearmongers?

Washed-up left-wing actor Ed Asner reportedly suggested over the weekend that a cabal of liberals is preparing to smear conservative media star Sean Hannity the way they smeared Rush Limbaugh with the publication of last week's National Enquirer painkiller expose.

Nationally syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher told his audience Monday that he and Asner were at a New York City cocktail party Friday night where he engaged the actor in conversation.

After Asner told him that he enjoyed jousting on the air with right-wingers, Gallagher said the Hollywood radical warned cryptically, "Well, Hannity's next, you know."

When asked what he meant, Asner allegedly explained, "We're going after your buddy Hannity just like we went after Limbaugh this week - and look what happened to Rush."

Apprised of the alleged threat, Hannity invited Asner on his show Monday to see if he'd confirm his comments.

When confronted with Gallagher's account, Asner at first denied making the threat. But in the next breath he told Hannity, "I think [Gallagher] probably was - ah - perhaps enlarging [what I said]."

Asked to clarify what he said to Gallagher, Asner said: "I can't remember. It wasn't that important."

When Hannity reminded Asner about a previous interview where he attacked Limbaugh off the air in a particularly offensive manner, the Hollywood has-been claimed, "I was kidding."

In the next breath, however, Asner hinted that the Limbaugh drug story was a planned act of retaliation, telling Hannity in sarcastic tones, "Rush said some very unfriendly things on the air and look what happened. My God."
