HANNITY TO THE RESCUE

Whenever Ann Coulter says something outrageous and needs some airtime to defend herself, she can always count on Sean. This time, Hannity decided to help out Phony Soldiers Fats Limbaug on 10/18/2007 edition of Hannity & colmes. Here's some of what Fats had to say, beginning with the whining:

Sean, this is one of the most — in my lifetime, one of the most focused abuses of power that I've ever seen.

The U.S. Constitution is to protect private citizens like you and me and anybody else from this kind of neo-Stalinist act of the U.S. government.

...this may be in our lifetimes the single greatest example, and the only example, of the greatest deliberative body, by reputation, anyway, in the world, singling out a private citizen for abuse and censorship and a number of other things.

Fats tries to hide behind his status as a private citizen but he's no different than Ann Coulter. Surprisingly, he goes back to the old lie that he's a truth-teller:

We're engaging here in truth here. The truth always will out. The truth will always survive, and the truth is what gives people like me the confidence to keep expressing it.

Fats then goes on to say something incredibly stupid:

You think "dingy Harry" is, is — he's got to be livid over this. This is a letter with his signature. It's got $851,100 on it in terms of somebody wanting to buy it. He has to not have ever expected this would be made public, even though he read the letter on the Senate floor, which is now in the congressional record, and even though he issued a press release about it, he's got to be livid this has gotten out. He's got to be livid this is happening.

Reid also put a copy on the Democrat Senate caucus site, so it's really impossible to maintain that Reid didn't think the letter would be made public. Of course, nothing is impossible in Wingnut World.
