Atlanta Tea Party to be Hannitized
Metro Atlanta conservative activists are aflutter this week with Sean Hannity’s announcement that he’ll broadcast live from the “Atlanta Tax Day Tea Party” protest.
The only problem now, organizers say, will be finding a location big enough to host the April 15 event.
Hannity, the Fox News host and former Atlanta talk-radio jock, will be coming to town to draw attention to the tea party movement inspired by CNBC correspondent Rick Santelli’s Feb. 19 rant against aid for homeowners on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade.
No Gupta?
CNN’s Sanjay Gupta may be out as President Obama’s surgeon general nominee, Fox News is reporting (with barely concealed glea, I might add).
Word leaked in December that Obama’s transition team had approached the CNN medical correspondent for the post, but there hasn’t been much said about him for the last couple of months. According to the grapevine, Gupta withdrew himself — but you always gotta consider in the story like this whether that’s a cover story.
I, for one, thought Gupta would be a great choice for the job. The parttime Atlanta resident is a very credible, responsible journalist but also a good communicator and by all accounts an excellent neurosurgeon.
