Hannity discovers new Utah county
Talk radio cult leader Sean Hannity loves to talk about Utah -- "the most Republican state in the nation" -- and has made numerous public appearances here.

But he's apparently paid little attention to Utah geography, particularly southern Utah.

In haranguing Sen. Bob Bennett for his support of the immigration reform bill, Hannity on his program Wednesday talked about "St. George's County." We can only assume he was thinking of Prince George's County, Maryland, a place nearer his microphone, if not his heart.

It not only took the edge off Hannity's slap of Bennett -- but probably confused listeners here and in the beltway.

Bennett walked into Hannity's cross hairs by arguing that St. George -- you know, the Utah city -- needs a lot of undocumented workers to fill all those construction jobs that make it the fastest-growing metro area in the nation.

On the other hand, most of the jobs in Maryland's Prince George's County go to fully documented federal bureaucrats. Hannity didn't mention them, but you could legitimately debate who poses the bigger threat to the American dream.
