I've never seen much need to write about the goings-on in live talk radio, but there was an exchange on February 24 unlike anything I've heard since I first opened a mic in 1975. It was so profoundly bizarre it cries for further attention.
The exchange was between radio host Sean Hannity and Congressman Maurice Hinchey, a seven-term Democrat from upstate New York. The premise of the interview was straightforward: Did Hinchey have any information to support his claim that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove planted the fake documents on which CBS News based its discredited report about President Bush's Texas Air National Guard service?
As most liberals are wont to do, Hinchey fielded the simple yes-or-no question by expounding on any number of other topics not even remotely related to the query. Hannity allowed the Gentleman from New York to expound on commentator Armstrong Williams, former Talon News employee Jeff Gannon and myriad other theories regarding White House manipulation of the news media.
After letting Hinchey ramble for an appropriate period of time, Hannity asked the question again. The scene repeated itself. A third opportunity was offered by the host; the interview digressed into a Groundhog Day parody. On and on it went.

Wish I had heard it. Nothing feels better than howling with laughter.
I heard it, he's right and it makes me want to reach through the radio and choke this P.O.S. But then I have to laugh at myself and rest easy knowing that several million people are tuned in listening to another leftwing moonbat further take down the demo/socialist party. Ahhhh, what a feeling.
Sean also confronted him on the air for his 'off air' statement that he was going to 'get Sean'.
Sean was smart enought to tape.
I want to see how this weasle is going to try to back out of it.
Anybody have audio of this? Sounds absolutely hysterical.
You might check Sean's website.
I'm sure he must have something on it there.
I listened to the interview yesterday. (As much as I could stomach it)
The drug-crazed, paranoid, raging spirit of Hunter S. Thompson lives on in the likes of Hinchey and Dean. And DU is so proud!
Democrat congressman Maurice Hinchey, speaking on CNN, persists with the idea that Karl Rove devised the fake Rathergate memos:
It doesn’t take an awful lot of imagination if you’re thinking about who it is that might have produced these false documents to try to mislead people in this very cynical way. It would take someone very brilliant, very cynical, very Machiavellian, and it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to come up with the name of Karl Rove as a possibility of having done that.
Is Karl Rove truly that brilliant? Using contemporaneous reports and several eye-witness sources, this site is able to reconstruct the events of last August at Evil Rove Headquarters, located many miles beneath the earth’s surface:
(Rove enters the Chamber of Destruction and greets his assembled operatives)
Rove: Gentlemen. Ladies. Mr. Gannon. Mr. Murdoch.
(Various responses: “Hiya!” “Howdy.” “G’day.")
Rove: People, you have done good work. You have tirelessly attempted to undermine John Kerry’s bid for the presidency. And yet the latest polling shows that Kerry may still win.
(Murmured complaints: “Dang!” “This is soooo not happening.” “Can’t compete with a Magic Hat.")
Rove: Silence! I cannot tell you how much this disappoints and angers me.
(An assistant appears at Rove’s side with a baseball bat. He is waved away)
Rove: But now is not the time for fault-finding, or skull-crushing. Now is the time for action. Serious action. In fact, the most serious action it is possible for us to undertake.
Murdoch: You don’t mean ... ?
Rove: Yes. It is time for us to deploy the Doomsday Device...

I heard this too. It was utterly ridiculous - hilarious and pathetic as the author states.
And the premise was that Rove planted information HARMFUL TO BUSH, knowing CBS would jump at the chance to air it and that bloggers would find it false. How crazy is that? Layer upon layer of idiocy. This congressman is mentally ill. I mean it. I heard him.
How long will it be before someone accuses Rove of getting this lunatic congressman elected, knowing he would disintegrate on Sean's show?
Certainly the Democrats are by far their own worst enemy. They seem to have made a fundamental mistake: confusing the "intensity" of Bush hatred among a few for widespread dissatisfaction with Bush among many. Whatever they do to satiate their shrinking and shrill base only serves to trun the rest of the country off. I don't even think they can help themselves at this point. Maybe they will nominate Ward Churchill in 08. (Lest that seem too cruel towards all Democrats, I say this: I used to be one! They left me, I didn't leave them.)
trun = turn
The exchange yesterday between Hannity and 'RAT Hinchey was priceless... LOL! I'm sure Sean will still be talking about it on his show today...
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
My husband heard this exchange on his way home from work. He thought it so funny he had to call and give me a play-by-play.
Where is this shameful Hinchey from? He should be censured.
Times have changed and, I must say, not for the better...
This is priceless. The Dems get to exercise the rights to free speech and we get to use their own words to beat their brains out at the ballot box! The gift that keeps on giving.....
....and his little dog, too?
By definition.
He's a liberal.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
"...and his little dog, too?"
"I'll get you my pretty"
