Hannity Pwns himself over John McCain's own affair. Double standard: Eruption
By John Amato Tuesday Aug 12, 2008 2:00pm
Nothing John McCain did dishonestly in his life counts because he was a POW. So says Sean Hannity after he got caught attacking John Edwards and trying to play the average Amercian guy who just doesn't understand how Edwards could have cheated on his wife and then lied about it."Why should we trust you?" SH says. Colmes attacked Hannity over this as the two argued. An emailer said they rarely ever talk back to each other since it's not the format of the show. Colmes smacked Hannity around and asked the same question about John McCain's first marriage...
‘My marriage ended because John McCain didn't want to be 40, he wanted to be 25. You know that happens...it just does.'

Hannity: I'm not getting this. Explain to me and I'm wondering if you can't keep the promise to your family, can't keep your promise to your wife, you're having an affair, you're lying about the affair repeatedly, why should the American people trust you when you say you're not going to lie to them? Why should we trust you?
Colmes: And by the way, that's a great question Sean asks and so Amanda, if that's true and you can't trust somebody who had an affair. How can we trust John McCain to be President of the United States---he cheated on by his own admission on his first wife, he didn't keep his martial vows, he didn't keep his pledge to his first family...
Hannity: Thirty years ago after five and a half years of being a POW
Colmes: Excuse me Sean. You've had your chance to speak, I'm up. John McCain cheated on his wife, right. Amanda? So how do we trust John McCain? He cheated on his wife, why do you have a double standard and John McCain's running for President? John Edwards is not. John McCain's wife was in a car accident. John McCain's running for President, what about his affair?
(H) After five and a half years in a POW camp. (C) That has nothing to do with it. So it's OK to have an affair on his wife.
How about the good old Keating Five? Or Vicky Iseman? Does that count. Mr. Sean?
UPDATED: Silent Patriot says: Truncated transcript via Newshound, who has a great detailed recap.
Hannity: “If you can’t keep a promise to your family, can’t keep a promise to your wife, you’re having an affair, you’re lying about the affair repeatedly. Why should the American people trust you when you say you’re not gonna lie to them? Why should we trust you?”
Colmes: “That’s a great question Sean asked. Amanda, if that’s true, you can’t trust somebody who had an affair, how can we trust John McCain to be president of the United States since he cheated, by his own admission, on his first wife? He didn’t keep his marital vows. He didn’t keep his pledge to his first family.”
Hannity: "He was in a prisoner of war camp! [He cheated on his wife] after five and a half years in a prisoner of war camp!!11! "
Ouch. I think FOX should reconsider their decision to attack Edwards over this. They have their own philanderer they need to help get elected after all. And really, is there a bigger right-wing hack on the planet than Sean Hannity? I'm not trying to be snarky. Isn't he the worst out of all of them?
Heather adds:
They came back for a brief segment after this and Hannity was mocking Edwards and flipping his hair and said that you cannot compare the $400 haircut guy to the POW and that McCain said he was a different person after what he went through in Vietnam. So if life deals you some hard knocks anything is alright in Hannity's book.
The wingnut mentality is a wonder to behold, no?

Holy crap is Colmes growing a pair?
I bet he got his two weeks notice.
Good to see Colmes show some effort to call him on the double standard.
Sean Hannity - Fool.., er excuse me, TOOL..of the GOP!
I apologize to Tools and Fools everywhere for comparing Sean Hannity to you but somewhere a village is missing an idiot.
Sean...read the bible. "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone".
If that's too much heavy reading for you, at least read your staff's research, if you actually do any.
I know such a busy, important man like you doesn't have time for such fine details and 30 second searches on "the Google".
Okay, if McCain's old affair is old news and shouldn't matter anymore, how about his latest affair? The one where he is unfaithful to his new wife, Cindy, the beer heiress, with lobbyist Vicky Iseman (who looks just like her)? She's the woman he passed legislation for and the woman who disappeared after the New York Times outed their STILL ONGOING affair. Why is no one talking about that?
Where in the world is Vicky Iseman?
So I guess that Mccain/Guilani 08 ticket is out of the question..
BTW, I wonder what Hannity feels about Rudy's "tail chasing" through the years!!
I saw this last night and couldnt believe AC had the balls to stand up to SH. And make no mistake about it SH pwned himself after he ran his mouth. What a moron!
Let me get this straight. It's OK to go on and on and on about the infidelity of a Democrat who is no longer a Presidential candidate but it's not OK even to discuss the infidelity (or is it infidelities?) of a Republican who IS a Presidential candidate. And who not only cheated, but left his wife and married his mistress? And who may have cheated with a lobbyist who has conveniently seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth/
Talk about a double standard!! The only thing surprising in all of this is that Faux Noise actually allowed Colmes to challenge the Faux status quo.
Maybe it's ickier if a dem does it.
Good for Colmes, but how hard is it to take the high ground over something so blatant? And why hasn't this issue gotten more coverage?
Colmes grew a pair!
If Colmes really did "grow a pair" he could rip these wingnuts new assholes every single show. But, he'd soon be out of a job, I'm sure. Hannity and the others are complete idiots.
Quotes from the Vicki Iseman affair:
“There is no better illustration of everything that is WRONG with Washington than the John McCain-Vicki Iseman tryst. The Republican Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee carrying on with a comely female Republican lobbyist who represents the corporate interests of other Republicans with business before the committee and who donates to the chairman’s campaigns. Wow!”
–Joseph Palmero, Huffington Post
“If she has nothing to hide, I think she should come forward.”
–Gennifer Flowers, former mistress of Bill Clinton, on the TV Show “Extra”
Sean...Sean...c'mon mon...engage your brain before putting your mouth in gear.
Poor Sean....he has McCain Syndrome...a paralysis that causes you to focus solely on the words appearing on the teleprompter.
So when the question is, "Why would we trust John Edwards to uphold his oath of office as president when he betrayed his cancer-stricken wife?" the answer is "He's no longer a candidate."
And when the question is "Why would we trust John McCain to uphold his oath of office as president when he betrayed and divorced his accident-victim first wife?" the answers are "Bill Clinton cheated on his wife", and "John McCain spent five and a half years as a POW."
Didn't French President Sarkozy just have an embarassing divorce and awkward and very public remarriage? And didn't he just days ago successfully broker a cease-fire between Russia and Georgia?
So what the heck does marital fidelity have to do with fitness to hold the office of president?
And what is the reason for Sean Hannity's war against irony? He's ruining it by playing irony straight. Darn him. (Then again, maybe he'll be caught having an affair... That would be great for irony, and possibly for America.)
You know how the Neocon fairies are the most vocal critics about stuff like this, and in the end turn out to be the most repressive gays themselves? Even money Hannity is in that blowhard brigade.
Colmes actually said this on Fux News? I am impressed, for the moment anyway.
According to Hannity, McCain's time as a POW warped him so much that he should not be held accountable for shitting all over his first wife.
So how is it that he's not also too warped to be president?
And Hannity fails.
McCain's infidelity is on the airwaves!!!
I kept waiting for something of significance to be said.........hohum, back to the real world.
Wow! Alan I'm gonna miss you! But you can't talk back to Sean and get away with it, unless of course you're in NH with Ron Paul supporters!
IOKIYMCAIN
Amazing how Shamitty keeps going back to the Hanoi Hilton. Beaten everyday Sean? Hardly.
But he's gonna take a good beaten come Nov.
Shamitty's cognitive dissonance is something else. Makes you wonder if he's sane.
Oh nevermind. Forget I even said that .
People like Hannity have hypocritical double standards and hate so deeply ingrained into their total being they have no clue that they automatically practice it...all the time. The Obama family represents every family value that Grandpa McDinosaur has failed in.
I have noted that Colmes has finally decided to 'damn the torpedos, full steam ahead'. I only see FOX through this website, but I have noted that he has been slowly asserting himself. SH clearly does not like it either. I wonder if FOX worries about a terminated Colmes, writing a book about FOX's dirty little secrets? I expect he could write a doozie.
Announcement for immediate release.
Alan Colmes, of Hannity and Colmes, has decided to resign as co-host of the Fox News Network show, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. His decision takes effect immediately.
Colmes will be replaced by the left wing liberal Pat Buchanan who recently said that John McCain makes Dick Cheney look like Ghandi.
Fox continues to dedicate itself to ensuring Fair and Balanced reporting.
I don't trust either of them.
Yeah, watch yo back Colmes.Faux bullies Hannity and Orally are going to beat with you pillow-cases filled with soap bars ala Full Metal Jacket.
They came back for a brief segment after this and Hannity was mocking Edwards and flipping his hair and said that you cannot compare the $400 haircut guy to the POW
Funny thing, though - maybe you can compare the $400 haircut guy with the $500 pair of shoes guy. Those Faux Snooze Republican't clowns were contorting themselves more than an Olympic gymnast...
BTW, and FWIW, Fox has had several of these types of situations lately.
Remember that Fox is all about money...and the writing is on the wall.
They don't give two shits about fair, balance or anything else: THEY CARE ABOUT MONEY.
Yes, Mr. Colmes, you've earned that smug grin you had on your face at the end of that clip.
Go Colmes. Now please do this on a daily basis. Colmes could spend the entirety of the show on how wrong Hannity always is, and how he holds separate standards for republicans than he does for normal human beings.
Hannity if he hasn't already, better start worrying about the IRS and his scam of ripping off the Wounded Vets and their families!
It's coming down the pike Sean, heading for your with a bullseye painted on your broad backside,there's nothing you can do about it! The train has left the station!
That's twice he's pwned himself recently, is it not? Methinks it's time he hang his shit up.
Question: Which man was worse, the one that had an affair then apologized, or the one that dumped his wife forever and left her with three kids?
Answer: Bush ordered the CIA to forge documents linking al Qaida to Iraq!
They don't question him on anything
It's always he's a maverick, a good guy, people like him, a war hero, POW
If you ask me McCain is the media's Messiah, He could start wars in Russia, Iran maybe Canada if he wanted to.
The headline of a Washington Post article read:
"Obama Tax Plan Would Balloon Deficit, Analysis Finds."
But while the headline focused on Sen. Barack Obama, the article itself reported that the Tax Policy Center found that Sen. John McCain's tax plan would add $5 trillion to the national debt while Obama's plan would add $3.4 trillion.
McCain's would add $1.6 trillion more
Breaking News John McCain chooses John Edwards as VP. Birds of a feather stick together is their campaign slogan.
FOX can see the writing on the wall as well as everyone. The next President will be a Democrat, the next Congress will be controlled by Democrats, and the country is moving to the left. They have been able to get away with being 100% right wing republican for a long time now but they know they will have to adjust or become completely irrelevant. I except some more and louder progressives on FOX even though I have always hoped that they would be completely boycotted.
One guy has the $400 haircut...memo to Colmes: McCain has the $500 shoes.
Here, Mr Vannity, this collection of republican criminals goes on to some 22 pages and score one big one for your vassal, Allen. He should get equal time more often.
http://www.thomhartmann.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=106&fu...
Sean...pick up a gun! Your dream has come true. We're fightin' the Ruskies! Now get out there!!
Hannity was a big supporter of Rudy Giuliani, who, as we all know, cheated on his first wife, got caught, cheated on his second wife, got caught, and married his third mistress. Let's e-mail him and ask him why he was so supportive of someone with such a long, confirmed history of lying.
And how many years was McCain back in the U.S. before he started cheating with Cindy (although purportedly, there were more before her)? Six years? Seven years?
Whatever merit "shell shock" might have as an excuse for his behavior, I would think there has to be some sort of statute of limitations here.
Maybe this can become a new political ad.
I think that the term blowback is really going to come to haunt the GOP on this one. They wanted this soooooo much and when it happened, they cheered and threw parties. Now along comes not one, but two, affiars for McCain and he IS running for prez.
When are we going to look into the navy career of McCain and the happy times that he enjoyed as a aerdale during the 60's? From the stories that I have heard, the life and times of a piolet during that time makes the tailhook parties look like Romper Room. "I see Johnny, I see Duke, I see them banging underage hookers in a third world hell hole for pennies, drunk as sailors on leave.".Lets look into those youthful indescretions while you were in the navy. Having been in the service overseas 20 years after McCain was in, I will say that it was fun, but it is something that I would not want my kids or parents to know about.
McDepends supposedly cheated on his 1st wife Carol , BEFORE going to Vietnam , She-Yawn Insanity ; what's your excuse for that , dickbreath ?
BTW VANNITY, where did you spend the five years that McSame was in jail. Not in service to your country, I'll bet!
These right wing tools like Sean Hannity remind me of dogs that were so inbred they run in circles incessantly. Pathetic.
After 5 and a half years of being a POW McCain doesn't car wehre his money comes from, even thouhg his party might.
Not to mentiona whole mess of other people.
John McCain bludgeoned thirty kittens and puppies then pissed on their corpses before cooking them and serving them to orphans. But it's okay, because he was a POW. McCain's POW status will serve him like the Bush regime whined "9/11" to justify every blunder.
The floormat scores!! I know it is written into AC's contract to be a floormat to SH, and I wonder what self-respecting libral would agree to such terms, but it is nice to know that Colmes can score a point every once in awhile.
So according to this freak Hannity Grandpa's affair was okay because the old man was a fucking POW. Who listens to this shit?
Everything is excusable as far as St McCain goes. "HE WAS BEATEN FOR FOUR AND A HALF YEARS!!!". So that means he gets do what ever he wants. I get it now why he's a Maverick! He doesn't have to do any of that 'personal resposebilty' crap we hear about all the time from the Right Wing Jerk Offs.
Sean will commit cheat when he reaches his middle-aged crazies. Financially well-off, access/availability through public speeches, book signings, etc. wife will age and kids grow older, his ego will not be able to fight it. Bet on it. He just hasn't been challenged yet. Better yet bet the farm on it (if you still have the farm). Bet your mortgage on it (if you still have the mortgage).

It's not cheatin' if you fess up and then marry your mistress. That makes you honorable. It makes you a hero.

Hannity: “He was in a prisoner of war camp! He cheated on his wife after five and a half years in a prisoner of war camp!!"
So, I don’t get it… hannity is claiming that being a POW gives mccain the license to cheat on his wife? And do more years as POW give one more of a license? Say he was a POW for 6 years, or 8, or 32… would he be able to get away with even more dastardly deeds? What is the equation/formula sean?
You started it, I’ll keep it moving hannity:
5 ½ years as a POW: allowed to cheat on wife and leave her for a younger woman
7 years: you now have freedom to rob local convenient stores
10 years: punch anyone, anytime, for any reason—no foul
20 years: clothing has become optional, and forget traffic signals, they don’t apply
35 years: nukes solve everything
*******************************
mccain is an adultery and an opportunist. that is completely unquestionable.
adulterer.... meant to say (@57)
Guess the right is hoist on their own petard on this one (McMadBastard is an adulterer pure and simple - live with it).
Love the smell of right-wing reptiles trying to twist something into knots to excuse their own - smells like defeat!!!!
Hannity's problem is he confusing his unchallenged radio schtick with his Teevee show.
He is confusing the two. He isn't bright.
McCain said the other day that we're ALL Georgians now.
WTF? Figures the timing of the current conflict over there
is on the heels of the upcoming election. Fear is the only thing
the G.ay O.ld P.arty know.
C'mon, everyone knows McC*nt gets complete immunity from all the nasty bullshit he's done....because he got his ass shot out of the sky in Vietnam.
He screwed up so many times over there, the question should be: Do you trust a man who constantly fucked up his missions in Vietnam and couldn't get the job done?
Willie Krash @ 60:
Talk about not bright,
Hannity's problem is he's confusing.......
Colmes didn't actually do that great a job. Sure he drove a truck through a rhetorical hole that was big enough to...well...big enough to drive a truck through, but he missed two obvious points. 1. The affair happened five years AFTER he returned from being a POW. If it had been the day after, or even a year after, Hannity might have had some wiggle room on that issue. and 2. You're going to catch men from BOTH parties doing things with their peckers that they're not supposed to be doing, but it's only the Republicans that have made a huge issue of it, and how they are so much better than the Democrats when it comes to this. Nobody gloats when the guy living in the glass house hits the guy who's not living in the glass house with a rock.
excellent framing. Unfortunately, the answer that the corporate BBQ media has put forth so far is that YES, being a POW does exempt you from any questions of integrity--really wish they had applied that to John Kerry's service--oh wait, he just earned a few purple hearts--he was not a POW--swift boat away!
i told yah the past military/POW experience was a free pass to everything.
Hannity, you ahole! You have a serial adulterer working with you on FOX, remember Gingritch who abanded his wife in a hospital for a younger woman. Oh, how about Gouliani living in the same house with his mistress while still married and his kids were living there? That was Hannity's favorite candidate for President recently, it wasn't 30 years ago Sean you punk!
Sawn-off Shamitty - animated turd.
I don't think McCain needs Hannity to make up his excuses for cheating on his wife, this is just insHannity.
I believe the French call that, 'getting pwnd'.
Where in the world is Vicky Iseman, indeed??
PS. Colmes has merely shown his very small huevoes can peek out from there hiding spot once a year.
I had a fight with my mother over this. When Monicagate happened my mother was shocked. Shocked I tell you! How could a man cheat on his wife! We must Impeach! When I told her about McCain's affair, rather, him dumping his loyal injured wife for a 20 something rich Barbie Doll. She told me everybody makes mistakes. What hypocrisy!
or did I mean 'their'?
Everyone is jumping all over Edwards for having an affair. The only thing you really need to remember that it is between him, his wife and God. And no one else. What he did was wrong. What he did is not going to affect my life, your life. How the country is run if he were elected President. We have had a President who had alzheimer's, a moron and we may elect one who has dementia so what is a little affair?
5 years in a POW camp can make a man have urges you know, so was McCain cheating on his cell mate when he got back to the world?
Military Experience is an excuse for cheating?
the qualifiers don't work here..."the egg was cracked"
when he cheated on his first wife....til death do us part.
if fox was smart they would get off the edwards story.
Aside from his genuine stupidity, Hannity is suffering from the Ailes/Murdoch syndrome. That is a disease which doesn't allow any bad inferences directed at Rethuglicans who this 'thing' called Faux Noise forbids. Why anyone with a functioning brain(except for those who survey for us) would waste electricity watching anything on this network is beyond my comprehension. I would sooner watch the old TV test patterns.
Why doesn't Crooks and Liars link with Newshounds? They link to here from their blog site.
I wish Colmes would have shot back "$400.00 haircut? Oh please Sean...let's be honest...Can you compare a 11 homes, a personal jet and a pair of $560.00 shoes to a $400.00 haircut??? Because that's is what your "average Joe" John McCain lives in, rides in and wears...If I were you, I wouldn't exercise that "eletist" label so much when your guy is married to a billionare....People in glass houses, Sean...People in glass houses."
I always laugh when I hear an american say "Moral values" as well as "Leading the free world" ....... another laughing point at the delusions of people from there.
Another daily reminder at how utterly stupid people can be watching that .............
42 President PNACcio Says: Hannity was a big supporter of Rudy Giuliani, who, as we all know, cheated on his first wife, got caught, cheated on his second wife, got caught, and married his third mistress. Let’s e-mail him and ask him why he was so supportive of someone with such a long, confirmed history of lying.
-------
CRudy's first wife was also his cousin.
Sean Hannity...a man who supported and hosted a fundraiser for Rudy Ghouliani...The same Sean Hannity who encourages Newt Gingrich to run for President...NOW Sean Hannity announces that HE thinks cheating on your wife should disqualify you from becoming President????
Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!
Kettle, there's a Mr. Pot calling for you on line two!
83 Jeff Says: Sean Hannity…a man who supported and hosted a fundraiser for Rudy Ghouliani…The same Sean Hannity who encourages Newt Gingrich to run for President…NOW Sean Hannity announces that HE thinks cheating on your wife should disqualify you from becoming President????
---------
But McCain should get a pass. Go figure.
At least Edwards is still with his wife. McCain/Crudy/Newt all got divorces.
Sean...should we vote for a man who wants to display his wife's naughty bits in front of a bunch of bikers?
Hannity is such a loathsome tool. It's ok if McCain cheated, simply because he was a POW for 5 years???
John Edwards had a young son who tragically died in a car accident, and his wife has cancer.
I'm not excusing John Edwards, but Jesus H Christ, this Hannity pisses me off like no others (except Limpballs). I'll watch BillO the Clown, as bad as he is, but I just cannot stand watching that frgn' idiot Insanity.
And to think that Insanity was once in a seminary, studying to be a priest.....he probably would have molested young boys had that happened. Geez, I cannot stand the guy.
Who invaded AC's body? Is Al Franken in an AC costume? I saw it live and was astonished that AC actually told SH to shut up (of course SH couldn't). It's so funny watching SH get hung by his own pompous words. Good slapdown AC let's see some more backbone!
So its safe to say that Sean Hannity can't trust John McCain?
Personally, I can't trust a guy who had a dead female intern found in his office then have the investigation stifle.
General Jack D. Ripper @ 86:
Hannity found out that praying to the god of hypocrisy, greed, and deception had a better cash flow. Why do the right thing when $$$ is your god?
paranoia @ 88:
what does the dead intern in an office refer to?
Maybe Sean has a point. As he said, " five and a half years of daily beatings" (didn't happen of course) excuses McCain cause he was so punch drunk he forgot his family and his vows. They even changed him into a newt. But he got better.
Ginger Oaks @ 87:
I was surprise that he told SH to shut up!
Am I wrong but doesn't AC work for SH? I thought AC is a token liberal just for the purpose of allowing SH listen to his own voice. All this time I thought this was the Sean Hannity show and Alan Colmes was his goofy sidekick, like Johnny Carson had his Ed McMahon.
Mary @ 74...
I agree that what he did doesn't affect anyone but him and his wife. (and the pundits who have wet dreams about this stuff)
But as someone who had designs on running for pres...DUMB! WTF was he thinkin?
I mean did he think no one would ever find out?
He's from my homestate. And I was actually proud that he was a real contender..at least for a second anyway...now I'm disgusted.
Ginger Oaks @ 90:
Sorry! Joe Scarborough and Sean Hannity are so much alike, I get confuse when they all stick to the same talking point. It's like a republican clone war to me!
Ginger Oaks @ 90:
That wasn't Hannity, that was Scarborough who had the dead intern "found" in his front office.
Ray Gunn was the first divorced president.
Sure he remarried
But for some folk that meant he and Nancy were living in sin,

HANNITY: Five and a half years getting beaten every day, see how you'd react...
COLMES (embellished): I've been getting beaten by you every day Sean, so believe me I know...
And another thing,
Sean says that Five and a half years of (alleged) beatings had corroded McCain's morality.
Well, I say, what ELSE got all screwy in that time. We only know about the marriage vows (and the Keating Five).
I preferred the Jackson Five to the Keating Five anyway.
Alan Colmes can stay wide awake from now on, I loved it.
PM
Hannity taught me it's okay to cheat on my wife if I spend 5 1/2 years in a POW camp; but only if I get beaten every day.
It has been my understanding that McSame's claims of being tortured mainly arose from his treatment when he was rescued from his (fourth) crashed bomber, in that lake outside Hanoi. The Vietnamese militia guys were none too gentle with him, but they didn't have much time before he'd have drowned. And, when they did treat his injuries, they did so without the benefit of anesthesia--which, it should be noted, was not in great supply in North Vietnam at the time and mostly was being used to patch up the people McSame and his buddies were trying to kill and maim...
Hannity is full of shit, anyway.
If he was beaten, they certainly stopped once he began collaborating...
ysbaddaden @ 103:
Pigpen. Karl Rove hopped into the cesspool.
Is this actually considered important in your country?
Do US citizens actually watch this?
I can tell you - the first time they started yelling over each other, I'd be on the remote changing to the CBC.
That's real good- they should run with this argument that McCain was so savagely beaten in Vietnam that he doesn't know right from wrong any more. Brilliant. A real confidence-builder.
A lie thirty years ago is ok and justifiable. A lie by a private citizen not running for office today is not excusable
~Reich-wing "logic" 101
Paul @ 106:
McCains ties with shild molesters is a campaign issue. POW beatings led to his cheating, and membership in the Keating Five, which is not as good as the Jackson Five, and we know what member of that group slept with children at Neverland (which is where people that are beaten for five and a half years mentally live). How does McCain explain his child molesting ties?
Nikola @ 1:
Has anybody really ever gotten in Hannity's face in the studio...a guest, Colmes, anybody? I don't mean from an affiliate station in, say, Duluth or something. I mean sitting right there next to him. I don't watch the show, so I'm curious.
Maybe Sean is the typical bully personality disorder--talks big when he thinks he can push you around from afar, but backs down when you can physically confront (not "assault," mind you; I said confront) him.
Whenever C&L shows clips of Hannity--as well as BillO the Clown and Ann Coulter--typically they're not sitting in the same room as the people they're insulting. There must be some reason for that.
But McGrampa's private jet, 7 mansions, and $600 loafers are failed to be mentioned by the reich-wing apologists at Faux.
if his being a POW justifies his cheating on his first wife, i.e., bad moral center: does this make him a leader? Is he ready for leadership?
Nikola @ 1:
Yeah, I always thought Colmes was a useless shoe, but now I respect the guy.
President PNACcio @ 42:
Wasn't Ghouliani's 3rd wife a cousin?
George Bush and Sean Hannity both humiliated.

Dr. Hussein Matt @ 119:
The first wife was a cousin, but I like the part where Rudy was moving his mistress into the Mayor's mansion while his 2nd wife still lived there. Republicans have class.
Canuknotusa @ 111:
What's important in this country. Hmmm....American Gladiator, Home Shopping Network, the Simpsons (the cartoon, not OJ, but he's pretty important, too), American Idol (not to be confused with American Gladiator--though putting them together would be *real* fun), football, NASCAR, the Olympics--but only when the 'Murkans win lotsa gold (even if it's in sports they mostly play over there in...wherever those other places are--where people are skinnier).
Nah, the news--even Fixed Noise--ain't so important here. Mostly it's just on to keep us company so we don't have to talk to each other. We like it when there's wall-to-wall sex scandal coverage, though.
How can anyone be sure that Hannity himself is not an 'sinner'? He could be banging the cue card girl..or boy...for all we know.

When a national bully like Hannity gets his ass beat, it's good to see. The nation is better off the smaller Hannity gets.
Ginger Oaks @ 121:
Ah. That's right. Thanks.
abarts @ 123:
No wonder they call it FAUX News. Hannity bangin' the cue card girl! LOLOL!
Among immortal H&C clips, this is up with Hitchens on Falwell's death. Hannity's desperation here is the definition of "spluttering."
Did the human "chicken mcnugget" Sean Hannity threaten colmes at the end???
quote: "Let's see how you are after being beaten for five years" or maybe it's just
wishful thinking on his part after having his ass handed to him by Alan.
I'm sorry, Sean, but my mental image after watching your tirade is you, on your knees, inches from John McCain's crotch.
Hmmmmm.
There must be millions of people out there--decent, hard-working people--who are, like me, sick of this whole "pwned" thing.
P.K. McBurroughs @ 130:
You got MY vote!
Whatever happened to the King's English?
does the Catholic Church know about this "5 years as a POW" exemption ???
I can't seem to find it in the king james version of the bible
maybe the coptic bible ???
eastern orthodox ???
Oh blah blah blah, Edwards cheated blah blah blah why should we trust him blah blah blah... I got a question that is at least as relevant as Hannity's inane bullshit... Why should I give a rats ass either way at this point, whether or not Edwards did whatever... Cheat, have a steak dinner last night, got a haircut, brushed his teeth ... whatever...Why??? It's not like he's running for president or something... McCain on the other hand.... Oh but wait.... Johnnie two face was a POW for five years blah blah blah... Oh poor poor widdle songbird.. so fucking what! This makes it OK for him to chase down a little strange as soon as he hits the tarmac in the good old U.S. of A. instead of gettin back with his long suffering wife and family???? Is THAT what they're selling? Riiighht... I'm callin BULLSHIT on this whole fucking meme..... JD
Pure, perfectly timed, topics of distraction, to get off the topics that really, really matter. Gotta say, those elite think tanks are worth every taxpaying penny.
In the mean time, they make record profits, while people die by the tens of thousands in illegal wars, costing us mega billions PER WEEK. What have they made BETTER for us? What has anything they have said or promised to us, came out to be anywhere near true?
They profit. We are suffering for it, worse and worse.
They "promise" to make it,...ALL...better!
They have a plan! Only,...well, it's a secret.
As are the total profits of the Carlyle Group, whose everyday trading and ordinary everyday deals are worth no less than mega-billions.
Nice to see Combs gettin' all up in Sean's mug. It looked like he was close to telling him to just STFU!
No one would go near the McCain question, just kept blabbing about Edwards with their hands over their ears.
Hey Sean, you were the biggest Rudy fan on TeeVee. No one waved his flag harder or more often than you. At the time, I'm pretty sure the history of his multiple affairs was common knowledge, even involving INCEST.
HOW COULD YOU TRUST RUDY, SEAN? He was/is a lying, cheating, cousin fucker who used government money and manpower for his affairs yet you trusted him completely.
Love when totally ignorant Fat-Ass Fattity gets his stupid ASS kicked but, he still loves and stands up for his GAY bathroom stalker buddies.
When did Colmes grow a set of balls? Why is it ok on that show for Hannity to interupt Colmes during his schpeil but Colmes sits respectfully while Hannity is brow-beating the token liberal guest?
Mealy-mouthed, chicken[bleep], compulsively prevaricating, cowardly, stupid conservatives; I have NO USE for them. That goes for Hannity, his two idiot guests and any clown that supports the sort of claptrap they try to peddle.
Colmes: "What about John Mcain?"
Conservative idiot male/female: "Edwards is icky".
Colmes: "What about John Mcain?"
Conservative idiot male/female: "Uhh, Edwards is a meany".
Colmes: "What about John Mcain?"
Conservative idiot male/female: "Durrrr...Edwards ran for president".
Colmes: "What about John Mcain?"
Conservative idiot male/female: "I am making in my pants".
Grrr.

Gunman wounds Ark. Dems' party chairman
Is that a hate crime? Are Democrats now targets for the rightwinger? Inciting Goodwin's law, are we there yet, or is it still a losing argument?
testing
Yeah, and some fucking nut just walked in and shot the chairman of the Democratic Party in Arkansas.................where the fuck do we live??
THANKS NRA, THANKS ALL YOU TALK RADIO PIGS............YOU TRULY DO HATE OUR COUNTRY.
Actually, he was shot hours ago..........just read that he died.
Right wings have created a monster called america..........
soon, all leftwinger will be force to wear an arm band with a symbol of Frito lay on it.
Hannity and company had their collective asses handed to them.... Buit I trust it will not be seen that way by the media.
hannity compared trolling for anonymous bathroom sex and being a hebefile with someone who cheats on his wife
if he cannot see the difference, then he truly is a disturbed person, and should not be on the airwaves...he should be locked up in a mental institution
Hannity you forgot to bring up two things that I can think of:
1. The pervert repukeage that just raped a fourteen-year-old girl after having screwed her mom for a year or so.
2. The big hush around town when a young, female intern ended up dead in your office once upon a time.
I'm furious that people in our country are being shot to death, AND you and your scum peers are permitted to sponser it on air.
BrokenArrow @ 148:
I am not the only one that forgot it was Scarborough that has the dead female intern in his office!
So can McCain get away with murder since was a prisoner of war? Because according to Sean, his committing adultry does not matter because he was a POW.
MsJoanne @ 26:
My GOD.
I just watched that video and actually had an emotional reaction at the end.
INSANITY!! INSANITY!! INSANITY!!
Christ Almighty these people must be stopped before they kill us ALL!!!
Shorter Hannity: "McCain was a P.O.W! He was entitled to have an affair!"
