BACK LOG: What Irritates Mr. Erzblock This Week (1/14 - 1/20)

I listen to conservative talk radio every now and then, but today I am furious with Sean Hannity, host of radio's THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW and television's HANNITY AND COLMES. Driving home from work in my car on New Jersey's Route 46, I heard Hannity break from his tirade about Hillary Clinton to chat with a caller about how he was upset about the loss "Indiana" suffered over the weekend because he's a huge Peyton Manning fan. Hey Hannity, you don't call the Indianapolis Colts "Indiana," the state in which the team resides. That's like referring to the Bears as "Illinois" or the Patriots as "Massachusetts." Furthermore, Mr. Hannity, went on to talk about how fervent a fan he is of the Colts head coach and how much he loved his autobiography, but all he could utter was "Tony." It was the caller on the other end who had to fill in the "Dungy" after the host stammered for what seemed like an eternity. Last but not least, Hannity engaged in something that I detest: He uttered a malapropism. Instead of saying "Cool, calm and collected" he said, "Cool, calm and COLLECTIVE." Hannity, what the hell's wrong with you? Don't you know that a "collective" is a group?
