   Joe Biden is so good at his job, a frazzled Sean Hannity is now vaping on live   
   TV   
      
   Even his biggest fans do not describe Sean Hannity as funny or endearing.   
      
   So I can only assume the universe is dropping hints that we are crawling out   
   of the dark tunnel of this bonkers pandemic, inching toward the sunshine of   
   ephemeral joys, like the 10 seconds on Thursday night when Mr. Hannity was   
   funny and endearing.   
      
   Mind you, this was accidental. His Fox show was coming out of a commercial   
   break.   
      
   Cut to the studio. Cue the snafu.   
      
   Hannity does not realize he’s on live TV.   
      
   He’s looking down and reading in silence. A vape pen, quite shockingly,   
   dangles between his lips, emitting a puff of smoke. There is a strong   
   Inspector Clouseau vibe. Suddenly, he looks to his left, where a floor   
   producer can be heard whispering: “   
   Sean. SEAN.”   
      
   Like a teenager slamming a Dell laptop shut after getting caught surfing porn,   
   Hannity’s eyes widen. He violently rips the Juul out of his own mouth. He   
   glances to his left again, pushes his earpiece deeper into his hearing socket   
   and stares at the    
   camera.   
      
   His reading glasses are askew, as if someone nailed him in the face with a   
   Nerf football.   
      
   Poor bastard. No wonder Hannity is hitting his vape. If anything, I’m   
   surprised he wasn’t caught with a bong or crack pipe. His one goal in life   
   is to excoriate Democrats. But Biden isn’t giving him much raw material to   
   make a cudgel. The new    
   president’s approval rating is soaring, and even Republican voters are   
   jazzed about his handling of the coronavirus and the economic recovery plan   
   that has steamrolled past roadblocks and into lives of everyday folk.   
      
   Hannity needs to drag his opponents into the muck. But Biden is above the fray.   
      
   I laughed out loud recently after far-right dipstick Dan Bongino lamented how   
   Biden is “a disaster for talk radio” because “he’s boring.” Yeah,   
   Dan. You’re not wrong. Biden is more boring than a sack of dust bunnies.   
   I’m an insomniac and    
   when I get really desperate, I put in my AirPods and listen to one of his   
   speeches. By the third, “Let me be clear,” it’s lights out.   
      
   And this is what should absolutely terrify conservative media.   
      
   You know why the right has desperately tried to ignite culture wars over Dr.   
   Seuss or Mr. Potato Head? It’s because they are flailing. In a doomed one   
   term of relentless incompetence, the previous president — who they blindly   
   championed at every    
   wrong turn — lost the White House, Congress and Senate. The right-wing echo   
   chamber, powered by loudmouths like Hannity, backed one of the biggest losers   
   in political history. It’s like they were cheering on the ’82 Leafs.   
      
   So, naturally, they’re out for vengeance. They want to make Biden’s life a   
   living hell.   
      
   But because the new president is laser-focused on policy — and smart enough   
   to surround himself with an adept supporting cast that buys into the mission   
   statement instead of sucking up to a cult leader — the attack dogs on Fox   
   are now all bark and no    
   bite.   
      
   This is leading to some surreal moments.   
      
   It was funny and endearing. My advice to conservative media: lean into your   
   humanity and generate more relatable moments. Contribute to your Forever Reel.   
   You’ve honestly got nothing to lose. Biden is proving immune to your   
   partisan poisons and silly    
   theatrics.   
      
   Sleepy Joe is running this simulation and it’s lights out for you. This dust   
   bunny is leaving you in the dust. So go ahead and vape. Take as many bathroom   
   breaks as you like.   
      
   It looks like you’ve got four years to showcase the real you.
