Hannity's unbiased take on passports


Take a listen to Sean Hannity's take on the passport breach of Sen. Barack Obama's file - it's pretty entertaining.

This is pretty predictable stuff, but I thought I'd share it with you for a few reasons.

First, of course Hannity will cite a report from the Washington Times, one of the most notoriously slanted and biased newspapers in the nation. If you've never done any reading about that paper, click this link - it's pretty fascinating stuff. To call the times a "daily newspaper" is being extremely generous. It's more like a daily National Enquirer for the Republican Party. You want controversial religious leaders? Sun Myung Moon, the founder of the Washington Times, certainly qualifies, so I find it pretty ironic that Hannity would even go near that paper, but Hannity's probably too stupid to realize the irony anyway. (Or at the very least, he probably thinks his viewers are too stupid to care, and he'd be right. But, getting into a guessing game of what goes on in Sean Hannity's head is a game I don't really have the stomach for, so I'll stop.)

I also found this footage pretty entertaining because Hannity tries to bait and lead Newt Gingrich into trashing Obama for having his passport file breached, which is beyond absurd. I have to give credit to Gingrich for his answer though; he brushed off Hannity's partisan remarks, and he's also spot on when saying the government has the responsibility to keep our files private. It's pretty entertaining watching Hannity backtrack when Gingrich doesn't sop up his slop with a biscuit.

I've got plenty more on the Jeremiah Wright story in a bit, too, including some pretty damning revelations that are getting NO play in the mainstream media.
