Hannity: Is Senator Obama then using what happened on Wall Street this week? Is he using it for political gain? Is there a danger of a presidential candidate is saying to the world that America's situation of economic crisis is the worst that we've seen in decades — which was words that he was using yesterday — is there a danger in terms of the world hearing that?
Stewart: "I mean, Sarah, answer this for me: Shouldn't we be lying to the world? For instance, what if we told the world the stock market was like golf scores, lower numbers are better. Apparently for Sean Hannity, the greatest in an economic free-fall is acknowledging it. It's the Wile E. Coyote theory applied to economics."
The juxtaposition with the late night debt-relief infomercial is priceless.

Hannity's nickname should be "Teeball" - his questions were beyond softball.
Whaddya' expect from Hannity? He also Blamed Obama for Nigerian Spam
As bad as the PBS poll is, check the one in Nebraska www.chase3000.com
her voice makes my skin crawl.
My mother used to tell me when I was a teenager using her phone talking to girls " Get the hell off my phone! You're just telling lies and listening to lies!" This bullshit "interview" is exactly what she was speaking of.

The Hell? If it's true, it's true and you say it, world-scaring be damned!
Where's Rorschach when you need him?
Make that "despise."
I type too fast when I'm ticked. ;)
That was not an interview, it was an info-mercial.
Wait a minute, Barrack Obama went on TV with Bill O'Reilly. All things being equal, John McCain should go on TV with Keith Olberman and Sarah Palin should be interviewed by Randi Rhodes. Now that's something I'd pay to see.
i've been drinking everyday since the primaries - if this keeps up my liver will be completely pickled by november 4th!

It makes my cat's ears bleed. As a responsible pet owner, I can't listen to her.
THANK YOU TDS,
for continuing to excel, year after year.
The story, and particularly the editing was BRILLIANT.
wow!
Thank you!

The biggest laugh of the interview (maybe not the biggest; you be the judge) was the answer about how Gov. Palin said she asked her daughters about whether she should accept the nomination or not. So, apparently when she said that she was decisive and had to make the decision, she forged ahead wasn't entirely accurate.
Why can't these people just tell the truth? Is there something wired into a Republican's brain that mandates telling lies or spreading innuendos or stretching the truth until it's just about to snap?
Idiots.
Read this answer and see if it doesn’t remind you of the South Carolina Miss USA contestant
HANNITY: What do you view — and I know this came up in your interview with Charlie Gibson, as it relates to the Bush Doctrine — what do you view as the Bush Doctrine and what do you view as America’s role in the world? What is our role as a country, as it relates to national security?
PALIN: That’s a great question and being an optimist I see our role in the world as one of — being a force for good and one of being the leader of the world when it comes to the values that — it seems that just humankind embraces the values that encompass life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And that’s not just in America, that is in our world.
And America is in a position, because we care for so many people, to be able to lead and to be able to have a strong diplomacy and a strong military. Also at the same time to defend not only our freedoms but, to help these rising, smaller democratic countries that are just — you know, they’re putting themselves on the map right now, and they’re going to be looking to America as that leader. We being used as a force for good is how I see our country.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Her voice makes fingernails on the chalk board sound like a symphony.

Noooo, we need you alive for this election, a McCain presidency would be more than enough reason for all of us to turn to alcohol.
Hannity's hair is more Hitlerish everytime time I see him.
Smack a square mustache on him, and voila'
Anybody want to wager that Sarah Palin will never have to answer about why a 26 million dollar 'road to nowhere' project was not cancelled after the bridge contract was rejected?
Protesters lobbied Palin to stop the wasteful project that had lost its relevance, or need to exist at all, but Palin didn't.
So how does she justify it? What reporter will ask her about it?

Like the rest of the world couldn't figure out that there was an economic crisis in this country without Barack Obama telling them...you'd think the bailouts and failures of multiple investment and banking institutions might have clued them in.
It would take me less than one minute to prove Hannity's a phony-tough. I bet he would cry like a little girl with one punch right in his punk face.
StirFry @ 22:
Why must you insult Hitler by comparing him to Hannity?
JOKE, PEOPLE!!!!!
Hannity: "The stock market ended the same where it started this week. What is the big deal?"
Today from his radio show.
The national debt just went up over $2T this week. What is the big deal?
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love me some Jon Stewart!
Rowdy! @ 28:
Wanna add a few more loves in there for the people who didn't see the first 20?
Can someone please tell Caribou Barbie that there is no such word as "verbage"
It's verbiage -- and shit-for-brains Sean missed it too.
I've seen better conversations between two 5-year-olds...
Christ that interview was one of the most painful things to watch..I've seen high schoolers ask more hard hitting questions.I was waiting for him to drill her with tough ones like "Whats your favorite color?" or "If you were a salad dressing what flavor would you be?" Embarrassing, even for FOX.
So, if we all move to Alaska, Palin will write us all a check for $2,000. Every year.
Absolutely unfreakingbelievable. And it's democrats who want to run a welfare state? Free money from the government!
We're really through the looking glass now, folks.

LegallyBlonde @ 30:
That's so cool. LOL.
That interview was truly amazing, hannity was polite, courteous. I must say it has to be ranked as one of his best. Admittedly though, the most amazing part of the whole interview for me was the magic trick, that was really stupendous, mind boggling actually. I don't believe anyone else on the planet could have that done trick, how he asked all those questions and never stopped sucking either bush or mccains cock.
john doheny @ 32:
The correct amount is actually $3280 per person.
Palin just get a check for $13,120 last week in extortion money from the oil companies.
Harley @ 36:
My bad - $19680.
Chuck U @ 18:
Let me translate that exchange into low-information, 29%er voter for you
Reminds me of this gem from Family guy.
GOP Verbiage = Sewage
Is the whole interview available somewhere on-line?
Chuck @ 33:
That's great.
Wanton Boy is a murderer, plain and simple.
The interview with Tony Blair later in that episode is pretty good, even some awkward Falkland Island digs.
In case anyone didn't realize, as I hadn't up until recently, these full episodes are free at their website the day after they air, very generous!
Marvin @ 39:
I was gonna say garbage.
Freddy Knuckles @ 25:
I know so many guys who would laugh while they quickly disposed of this All American fraud.
PS....good name for that kind of job.
Mike @ 35:
LOL! amazing isn't it. he never came up for air...damn, he puts Jeff Gannon to shame.
surf (hussein) jac @ 17:
seems that was a lie too
she brought her family to ohio and told them all it was to celebrate her wedding anniversary...the kids had no clue that she had accepted the vp nom
she doesnt seem to talk to her kids much...they didnt know that trig would have down's until he was born and bristol didnt know that if you let a redneck stick his dick inside your pussy, you can get pregnant
oh wait...was that a low blow? who the fuck cares
the only positive i could see from this interview is that everyday, hannity is getting fatter....which means he should be dead of a heart attack pretty soon
i will be the first to dance a jig on his grave
Please vote on Palin in these two polls:
http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html
http://www.chase3000.com/
She's winning at the moment.
Harley @ 36:
this is the reason why she has high positives in alaska
this and the fact that there really is no true media outlet in the entire state
Chuck @ 46:
internet polls dont mean anything....who cares
Mike Aimer @ 42:
Shouldn't that be garbiage?
Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 48:
You mean they're as useless as the NY Times best seller list?
Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 48:
The people looking at that poll could be influenced. Get real.
Jusker @ 14:
That voice is her best weapon in breaking that glass ceiling.
Stewart has got that Katherine Harris version of Imelda Marcos immitation of Palin down cold. What an empty headed moron. Even with the ton of lipstick that Hannity was smearing all over that pig, alas, it was still a pig when the job was done.
Speaking of pigs, notice how chunky Hannity is getting? The swine that is his inner being is merging with his outer body; his soul is writ largely on his body for all to see. The words say "Pig"!
The Daily Show hit the nail on the head...Anything involving Sean Hannity is nothing more than a late night infomercial. The guy is the king of clowns when it comes to right-wing punditry.
It was as bad as Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon and they were at least funny
Paul @ 54:
And I hear his mother wears army boots!
Chuck @ 47:
Polls, smolls. Working people don't do polls. They are too busy with surviving. Wait until the reality hits them that their kids and grandkids will be paying for the fuck-ups on Wall St. Think they will vote for McSame and the GOP that put their kids in debt their whole lives? I don't think so.
Someone needs to see how many times Hannity said the word Obama in Palin's interview. The clown just can't resist bashing Obama even though it's Pailin that he's supposed to be interviewing. This interview was for all practical purposes, pretty useless. Her answers even to basic questions are very shallow and predictable. She's in this way over her head.
Canuknotusa @ 40:
Could you actually sit through all that mind rotting crap??
That was one of the best yet of TDS's Fox hypocritical ways. Leave it to Jon Stewart and TDS to make an important point, while making us laugh our ass off!
I meant ..."best yet of of TDS's expose's of Fox's hypocritical ways"! Sorry laughing too hard!

LegallyBlonde @ 30:
Thank you - my jaw dropped when I heard that.
I loved how Steward pointed out how Hannity was scolding Obama for doing the "irresponsible" thing of stating the truth about our economy. This is, Hannity was pretty much saying that not denying the state of our economy amounts to a capital offense.
To witch Palin was none too quick to agree with, and this is from a fundie? I thought these Christians were not supposed to tolerate the bearing of false witness.
If anything, what it was great about last night's episode was Stewart's treatment of that piece of shit Tony Blair. It was fantastic... IMHO.

[Explanation from the site monitor: With the hair-pullingly-maddening-off-topic-NOW-poll-thread-of-conversation going on on the Sistani thread, yours truly went nuts and started deleting the NOW poll conversation (which involves many of the same commenters- and I see the site in a completely different format than the commenters do) on this thread. BLURGH! If any of you want to re-ignite the pertinent Palin poll conversation here, go ahead. My apologies. Site Monitor]
StirFry @ 22:
He's put on the poundage, too. Looks like he's heading into "pre-Limbaugh" syndrome.
Next thing you know, he'll be sending the dry cleaner out for oxycontin and whoring for Dunkin' Donuts.
Oh gosh, did Hamity sorta kinda admit that the economy is indeed in trouble? Remember this exchange with Robert Kuttner only eight days ago?
Jeez what an idiot!
And palin saying regulatory regime is the problem and we need more regulation in the same breath! yow!
antv @ 18:
The bush presidency has already got me there......
Non-Neo-Con & Hannity:
Hannity: Why do you hate America?
Guest: I don't hate...(interrupted)
Hannity: Yes you do - and don't interrupt me!
Neo-Con & Hannity:
Hannity: Do you think that America is doing good?
Guest: Yes.
Hannity: So do I.
Stewart was brilliant - as he always is.
There is something about these right-wingers that continues to baffle me, however futile that mental exercise might seem: What, exactly, do idiots like Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, etal think they're going to get out of supporting the sort of dogshit candidates and policies they continue to support? Yes, maybe some of them might save a couple bucks on their tax returns, but at what ultimate cost in the large scheme of things? Are they really that cheap, or are they just as stupid as they appear to be? I realize these are essentially rhetorical questions, but ... DAMN!!
You know Sean was pitching a serious trouser tent the whole time. Even bigger than the one he has when Ann is on.
hahaha Pat Buchanan saying McCain is "frantic" when talking about the economy.
General Pavel Rennenkampf Xocoyotzin @ 26:
Actually, I'm starting to believe that Hanitwit is really a pre-Colbert character brought to life by Nathan Lane. The resemblance . . . hard to ignore
Brigham Hussein Young @ 72:
He was probably getting excited cause he would get to dry hump her leg afterwards. These people have no shame.
Marvin @ 39:
That's an insult to sewage... at least sewage has some sort of recycable value.
the last bit nailed it!
This might be the time Mr. Hannity wishes he had more than a high school education, along with his friend Mr. Limbaugh.
sadja @ 13:
Keep your passport close. Might need it
The Palin/McCain ticket deserves to be dealt with by Jon! Every day, if possible.
cg @ 53:
Hilarious! Thank you.
We got our passports last year "in case we need to flee the country." Family joke - too bad it's so close to the truth.
I think we should all be going to nonpartisan websites and spread the truth about Palin and McCain. Leave out our anger and point out facts. God I can't believe so many people would even consider voting for these assholes.
Ali @ 81:
Go forth and multiply. Hmmm...not a bad idea.
Hannity: Governor, why should we vote for a wonderful mother of 5 who was a beauty queen which is the symbol of America instead of an awful Muslim who might be gay and probably eats babies?
Palin: Thanks for asking that tough question, let me start by mentioning that McCain was in a POW camp and didnt have babies to eat, even with the extremely expensive sauces and garnishes that Senator Osama...did I say Osama? I meant Osama...would eat at his all-angry black man country club while sipping a flute of virgin popular white high school kid blood.
Hannity: Well, I almost nailed you there, but you came out of it beautifully...which is to be expected of someone who's beauty pageant talent was 'Being American'...hmmm...did Comrade Hussein use 'Being American' as a talent in a beauty pageant? No? Really? Hard to believe...anyway, back after the break.
Jon Stewart rules as usual.
The Hannity/Palin interview on the other hand, was just fucking sad and pathetic.
That is excellent. Seriously. Brilliant.
It really says it all doesn't it?
Sleazy.
LegallyBlonde @ 30:
not only is "verbage" not the word
"Verbiage" means:a profusion of words usually of little or obscure content <such a tangled maze of evasive verbiage as a typical party platform — Marcia Davenport
so she was really saying "McCain's many words of little content"
also count me among those who can't stand her voice, I was hoping she could be dubbed
lost_nacf_gop @ 74:
Holy crap, you're right!
"Wait a minute, Barrack Obama went on TV with Bill O’Reilly. All things being equal, John McCain should go on TV with Keith Olberman and Sarah Palin should be interviewed by Randi Rhodes. Now that’s something I’d pay to see."
*Sigh* if only... but still, does anyone really think it would dissuade any loyal, straight-ticket voting troglodyte republican from supporting these nazis? Closed mindedness, blind loyalty and being in lockstep are their mantras, after all.
On another note, these two just killed me when they talked about "the economy"... "well, OBAMA said this and that", "Yeah, that OBAMA is evil, isn't he?!" "Yeah, BAD, BAD(!) OBAMA!"
I wonder if they REALIZE just how trite and meaningless their lame drivel really is???
Does everyone from Alaska talk like they're from Minn-e-so-ta??? (Or, maybe Fargo, ND YA!)
John Stewart is hilarious.
The Hannity and Palin interview was painful to watch.
