HANNITY CAN'T STOP LYING

On his radio show today, as part of his railing against the Wall Street bailout plan, Hannity claimed that Sec. Paulson is "a liberal Democrat." I looked for news articles to find out Paulson's political affiliation and there was nothing about him being a Democrat, liberal or otherwise. USA Today has this short bio when Paulson was announced as Pres. Fredo's nominee to be Secretary of the Treasury:

Name: Henry (Hank) Merritt Paulson Jr.

Age/Birth date/Location: 60; born March 28, 1946, in Palm Beach, Fla.

Experience: Became chairman and chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs in May 1999. He had been a director of the company since August 1998. He joined the company in 1974. Worked on President Nixon's White House Domestic Council as staff assistant, 1972-1973. Worked at the Pentagon, 1970-1972. Chairs Board of Directors of the Nature Conservancy.

Education: B.A. in English, Dartmouth College, 1968; M.B.A., Harvard University, 1970.

H.W. Wilson has a little more on Paulson's previous time in the Federal government:

In 1970, after receiving a master's degree in business from Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Paulson took a job with the U.S. Defense Department at the Pentagon, in Washington, D.C. He worked there as part of a group that investigated huge cost overruns associated with a project of the Lockheed Corp., a major military contractor. Lockheed had developed a transport plane for the U.S. Air Force (the C-5A Galaxy) and then billed the government for a total amount equal to nearly twice the company's estimated worth; nevertheless, the project had continued, with congressional approval. Within two years Paulson had transferred to the White House to serve as an aide to John Ehrlichman, a close adviser to President Richard Nixon. But in 1973, as the Watergate scandal (which involved a break-in by Republican-hired operatives at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and its subsequent cover-up) enveloped the presidency and Ehrlichman resigned, Paulson became disheartened. He left the White House when he concluded that "the President was lying," as Emily Thornton wrote.
