... well, that would sure make things a lot easier...

Sean Hannity's ... feigns dismay at the idea that Christians don't have any signs up in the NYC Subway system.

I am trying to imagine the outrage, because it isn't happening. There are pro-Christian signs all over the NYC subway system. It shouldn't take too much to ask one of his underlings about this kind of thing before he makes this kind of statement.
