Hannity gets smacked with the cold truth in mid sentence.
I was scrolling across the radio dial and caught Shammity today, who was reading a report from FauxNews producer named Dana Lewis that he was just handed. Dana used to work for NBC and was embedded with the troops during the layover at al Qaqaa. Basically, the statement recounted how he/she this was basically just a pit stop on the way to Baghdad (as we know) and the field officer was not happy about stopping at all.

In the prepared statement, as read by Shammity, Dana mentions that al Qaqaa was a mammoth installation, one wall seemingly extending a mile long. The place was deserted. Spent artillery was scattered about and there was severe damage to some of the buildings. ...

*Shammity* then announces that there were seals on many of the buildings and doors and he/she didn't think anyone really investigated what was being stored there. AND "based on the condition of the facility, it was not likely that anything was removed before the troops arrived."

HOLY SHIT! Shammity, in his haste to lob another smear grenade against Kerry stumbles onto the truth. He was so obviously flummoxed by the whole thing and tried desperately to gloss over that line and the direction of the account. Then he quit reading and launched into his typical tirade about Kerry, who will do or say anything to be president.

Anyone else catch this? "Dana" is scheduled to appear on TV tonight i think. Wonder what will be reported, after Ailes finishes with the script.

1. The few times I've had to endure that moron
he has done the same thing. He is an idiot. He can't even spew the WH talking points without fucking up.

Kinda funny, really

2. I'm sure Sham Hammity realizes his mistake and won't repeat it tonight.
But if he does, I'm sure Colmes will call him on it.

5. I loved that book.
Al is hilarious. I was surprised that he actually had Alan Colmes on the show. He basically said the format of the show is that they debate the guests but not each other. :eyes:

3. Heard the same thing of Hume
Hume interviewed the same guy on Special Report, and Dana whatever basically said the same thing. The place was hit by a few artillery pieces and there were lots of bunkers that were still locked. The guy said there were no IAEA things anywhere, but he could have missed them. I was actually amazed by the guys candor.
