Hannity Insanity
Few people are better at creating a Krauthammer-lauded “alternate reality” than Fox’s Sean Hannity. Columnist Dick Polman provides an excellent example:
On his Fox show one week ago, Sean Hannity told his credulous fans that President Obama had made a deliberate effort during his Cairo speech “to give 9/11 sympathizers a voice on the world stage.” … Hannity even backed up his reporting by airing a video clip from the speech, with Obama saying: “I am aware that there are still some that would question or even justify the events of 9/11.”
…
… Hannity’s video clip of Obama was truncated after that single quoted sentence, omitting everything that followed. Here’s what Obama said next, none of which was aired for the Fox viewers:
“But let us be clear. Al Qaeda killed nearly 3000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people … These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.” …
For that outrageous deception alone, Sean Hannity deserves a limerick:
Hannity Insanity
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There once was a fellow named Hannity
Who strutted and showed off his vanity.
From his Fox chair he lied,
Took his fans for a ride,
And showed utter disdain for humanity.

That was great, Madeleine!
There once was a fellow named Hannity
Whose words were a lot of insanity.
We know he’s a liar.
That he sings to the choir.
He’ll soon be extinct like the Manatee.
Hannitler is simply trying to ape the ever-increasing hysteria of his pedophile dope addict mentor.
Speaking of right wing detestable scum… I wrote a nice limerick today for my favorite nutjob congresscritter…
These days there’s a bi+ch named Michele
She’s in Congress from the District of Hell
Every day she tells lies
that the neocons prize
Cause they don’t handle truth all that well
Fun limericks Maxene and JollyRoger. And thanks Blue Girl!
I’ve just started a page of Hannity Insanity. Pathetic ignorance and inability to experience cognitive dissonance.
