You Go Jesse!!! (cont.)
TW: Am really digging Jesse Ventura. I generally will choose a sand enema before listening to Sean Hannity but Ventura being a large man was able to out bully the bully. The piece also frames the vacuous arguments being made by certain Republicans including:
1) our nation was in better shape post W. Bush
2) W. Bush inherited worse conditions economically and militarily than Obama
3) Bill Clinton is primarily responsible for 9/11
4) Obama has by himself quadrupled the deficit in one year

If He Only Had a Brain: Sean Hannity
TW: It is stating the obvious that Sean Hannity is an ignorant ass. The Economist reports on Media Matters (lefty blog) awarding Hannity its "Media Misinformer of the Year" award. Given Media Matters' slant their picking on Hannity is not surprising, what is useful is the depth and breadth of their documentation of the journalistic malfeasance perpetrated by Hannity and his employer Fox upon the American public.
From Economist:
"[Media Matters] end-of-the-year award to Sean Hannity—Misinformer of the Year—is a head-spinning read, whatever your politics. If you favored Mr Obama, it's a user's guide to every attack levied against the Democrat all year. If you favored Mr McCain, it's a reminder of why the assault on the Democrats fell flat. Mr Hannity was sloppy and often misguided, booking anti-Obama guests like Andy Martin and Jerome Corsi, despite their well-known outbursts of bigotry. (Mr Martin once called a federal judge a "slimy Jew.")
Watching Fox News during the elections was sometimes like slipping through the looking glass. The bizarre version of Barack Obama "exposed" on Mr Hannity's show was scary to his viewers, but it never convinced the wider electorate. Many conservatives got a false sense of security that convinced them that the polls were wrong, and that voters would figure out the truth about the Democrat eventually."
