So I was listening to the Sean Hannity Show the other day (don't laugh), and he was foaming at the mouth about the recent idea of prescribing marijuana for kids with ADD/ADHD. Nothing abnormal so far.

He takes a caller who, before saying anything, gushes about how much he loves Sean and like-minded "libertarian" Neal Boortz. The caller then says he wants to talk about the "pot for ADD" issue. I'm paraphrasing what followed, but it was pretty similar:

Sean: Are you a pothead?
Caller: No.
Sean: Do you smoke pot?
Caller: Yes.
Sean: How often?
Caller: Once a day.
Sean: So you're a pothead.
Caller: I don't want to explain my habits now. Can we talk about ADD?
Sean: You're an addict and you have a problem. Do you have kids?
Caller: Yes.
Sean: I'm going to make an offer; I'll donate $100 to a charity of your choice if you give up pot.
Caller: Look, I just want to talk about ADD.
Sean: I don't want to talk to you about that now. Will you take my offer? Will you be a man and accept the challenge?
Caller: Look, Sean, I just want to say that I love what you do, I agree with your ideas, and I just wanted to talk about the issue.

[caller hangs up]

Sean: Fine. He doesn't want to take my challenge. That's fine.

I wanted to call the show myself just to complain.
