HANNITY HEARTS COULTER

It didn't take Sean long to come to the defense of his "best friend forever." This is from the Tuesday Hannity & Colmes:

HANNITY: Well, I think there's a lot of selective moral outrage. I mean, you know, Dick Durbin compares our troops to Nazis. He's a senator. He could have an impact on the troops and their future. You have Howard Dean, you know, Republicans are dark, evil, brain dead. They can't get African-Americans in a room unless the wait staff is there. You know, we have the former Klansman who was the head of the Democrats. Ann, is this selective moral outrage? Are they trying to use you now as a fund raiser?

COULTER: Oh, yes, absolutely. It happens every six months, and you're always there to put me on TV, Sean.

HANNITY: But what...

COULTER: And somehow, it has not driven that conservative base away. And by the way, the examples you are talking about aren't — were not even intended as jokes. I mean, Alan can say, oh, well, that wasn't funny. Well, OK. This audience of 7,000 people thought it was funny. It was intended as a joke. Even if you think it was a joke that did not work, it was a joke. What Sean is talking about here aren't even intended jokes.

COULTER: And by the way, if they're going to start apologizing for everything I say, they better keep that statement handy, because there's going to be a lot more in the next year!

CADDELL: Oh, my God. Oh my God.

HANNITY: All right, we'll cover it all.

CADDELL: Here we go.

HANNITY: Come on, Pat, you — we're all good friends here.

CADDELL: I know. It's just — we'll be back and we'll do it again. OK.

(CROSSTALK)

HANNITY: We'll just put it on the calendar, every other Tuesday, Ann will be here to defend it. Thank you.
