Sean Hannity: Miracle Worker

by AltHippo @ 2:15 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

I feel a little bad picking on K-Lo, who I’m told by inside sources, how shall I put this? Isn’t the most shocking eel in the 10-gallon NRO aquarium. But then I read this, and I just had to laugh:

Are the Hannity Freedom Concerts:

a) just another country-music event;

b) a Fox News commercial;

c) Sean Hannity living out his David Hasselhoffian dream (albeit, unlike Baywatch, with his shirt on)?

Although Hannity did sing “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” in the Atlanta Freedom Concert, the answer is not c.

The answer is: d) a miracle.

Miracle? Oh, sure. The miracle of right-wing propaganda.

Now, you’d think that K-Lo would wander if an event that featured Hannity, Ann Coulter, Rudi Guilliani, Oliver North, and Newt Gingrich might be kinda partisan. No, she says, it’s for the orphans of those killed in Iraq. If that were so, wouldn’t you think there’d be people involved on both sides of the aisle? Or does she believe that liberals don’t support the troupes so much that they wouldn’t want to help the orphans? Is it kind of like when you’re a kid and you’re mother tells you to stop making that face or it will grow on you? I mean, has K-Lo’s brain made that face too many times?

The “Freedom Concerts” (what else would they be called) raise funds for the Freedom Alliance, not for the scholarship fund directly. As newshounds points out: “Only 55.7% of the charity’s funds are spent on the programs and services it exists to deliver. It received an overall rating of two stars and no stars for efficiency from Charity Navigator.” Remarkably, in 2003 it was operating at 81.6% efficiency. Say, there wasn’t any kind of political event in 2004 that would need cash. Was there?

    Of course it was bipartisan. Joe Lieberman was there. Yes, Lieberman, immediately after giving a 9/11 statement decrying the terrible partisanship that afflicts our country, went to hang out with his best buddy Hannity, North, and Coulter (the one who was so civil toward the 9/11 widows).
