If Hannity can bear it for say a good 100 seconds, I'd love to see Olbermann back out and say "I was just kidding" because you know he wouldn't pay.
Sure he would.

Seriously though, theyd both have their seconds "call it off" before it even would happen...fights over the means by which it would be done, and some paid hack would "take responsibility" and say his lines about not allowing noble Sean to risk his life, etc., or cries of cheating.... where's Vince McMahon when you need him!

What are you talking about? Of course he'd pay. He has the money. He wouldn't've made the offer if he wasn't willing to pay up. $100k for charity and ratings is a drop in the bucket for someone who makes $5million a year.

Well both Biden and Obama make big speeches about helping out other people and have the money to do it but have actually contributed very little of their wealth. The problem seems to be liberals talk a big game about helping other people but when they have the resources to do so they take a step back and just wait for the government to do it. There are some generous liberals but even those often give to political causes rather than helping their fellow man.

Besides, this could be a great & profitable PPV event - many will pitch in to see the chickenhawk eat his words.

Olbermann isn't properly trained to do this and so he'd probably mess up and actually kill Hannity. Though you'd probably enjoy seeing the death of a conservative radio host you hate, you'd also see your favorite television host go to jail for murder.

And I thought you all took waterboarding very lightly... is it dangerous enough to kill?
