Hoax?

Got this from a friend last night:

Emanuel on Fox News: ‘Shut the Fuck Up. You Lost’
Nov. 07, 2012

Chicago mayor and former White House Chief-of-Staff Rham Emanuel tore into Fox News hostSean Hannity tonight on live television.

Emanuel was on the conservative network to offer his opinion on the night's election results, which saw his former boss Barack Obama reelected to the presidency for another four years.

A devastated Hannity, however, was intent on using the occasion to vent his rage at the nights events and incessantly provoked Emanuel's ire:

"Is Barack Obama going to move to the center? Or is he going to continue his radical Socialist policies that are destroying America?" Hannity asked, beginning a rapid-fire sequence of badgering questions:

'Is he going to start paying attention to ordinary Americans? Or his he going to continue his goverment of, by, and for the welfare queens?

Is he going to ask the keep apologizing to our enemies? Or is he going to show some backbone and invade somebody?"

"Is he ever going to release his real birth certificate? Or is he gonna contiuing lying to the American people about his Kenyan heritage?"

Proverbs 11:2

"Sean...sean...," Emanuel interrupted, "Sean...sean...sean...sean...sean... ... shut the fuck up. You Lost. Get over it and move on. Barack Obama is president for the next four years."

"No amount of childish whining will change that fact. Why don't you start working on improving yourself as a person, rather than finding fault in others."

"At the moment you're a terrible, cynical human being who gets rich off of other people's ignorance. Your entire existence is defined by intellectual stupor and purposelessness. There's not a single cell of your body that has any redeeming value whatsoever - not even the intestinal cells which host your parasites."

"I feel deeply sorry for your children and your children's children, who will have to bear the stain of their relationship to you for their entire lives."

"I am a dumber, coarser, less centered individual for even haven spoken to you, and I promise I will never repeat that mistake again."

Emanuel then removed his microphone and quietly walked off the set.
