Brace yourself for this hilarious three-and-a-half-minute Fox News headache: Last night, host Sean Hannity dedicated an entire segment to bashing Ryan Adams.

As Mediaite points out (via Consequence of Sound), the seeds were planted on Monday, when Adams took to Twitter to criticize the conservative talk show host. In between RTs of the 80s U.S. Hardcore Bot and random other stuff, Adams wrote, ".@SeanHannity Your entire soul is controlled by fear and by hate. Evolve little chicken man. See reality."

Adams subsequently removed the Tweet , but not before Hannity invited Adams onto his show. (Update: Adams never removed the Tweet.) Adams responded, "Thanks @seanhannity for inviting me on your show. If I wanted to be yelled at I would go see a Youth of Today reunion show. : )" Hannity shot back, "Confident on Twitter, but too scared to come on and explain yourself?" To which Adams replied, "I don't negotiate with terrorists." Hannity: "who is the little chicken man now? A terrorist? Typical liberal, zero substance all name calling. Say it to my face u coward." Adams' response? ": )"

On his show last night, Hannity pegged Adams as "the latest liberal entertainer to launch an outrageous Twitter tirade against yours truly" and made fun of him excessively. He said:

Singer-songwriter-- by the way, you probably don’t know him, he’s not that popular-- Ryan Adams… we invited him on the show for a comment. His little agent replied, because he was too chicken, in an email: ‘Ryan’s statement is his tweet and vice versa’… Why don’t you have the courage to come on the program, defend yourself? He called me a ‘terrorist’… If we wanted to torture terrorists, we could play his music, which isn’t that popular anyway, and a 24-hour-loop would drive them nuts... Come on the program, stop being a wimp, he’s hiding behind his rock star makeup like a little gutless little coward that he is.

For "context," Hannity invited on Fox contributor Tamara Holder and Anna-Marie Costello, aka Miss Oklahoma. Holder said Hannity was changing the subject away from his original point of whether or not celebrities make for good role models. "This isn't about liberals, this is about entertainers and artists who have a right to speak their minds and share their opinions," Holder noted as Hannity shouted over her in Fox fashion. Costello, meanwhile, said Adams "has no sense of integrity" and likened him to a teenager.

In completely unrelated news, Adams is apparently recording Jenny Lewis right now.
