Duke Rape More Important Than Enron On Hannity & Colmes
Reported by Ellen - May 26, 2006
It was a short Hannity & Colmes program last night (5/25/06), apparently due to President Bush's "news conference" with Tony Blair. After a few discussions about that, there was only time for one more discussion. Hmm, Enron verdict or Duke rape case? It must have been a toughie. Enron played a part in Dick Cheney's energy task force, it played a still murky role in the California energy crisis of 2000 and it has a long and cozy relationship with the Texas Republican party. There are also questions about Enron's possible involvement in the Tom DeLay case.
The Duke rape case, in which Sean Hannity argues passionately against the accuser and prosecutor (then proclaims his open mind) has been "debated" nearly every night (if not EVERY night) on Hannity & Colmes since the day the news broke. Nothing big seems to have happened on the Duke case yesterday. But, except for a promo for Hannity's upcoming "Freedom Concert," the only other "news" covered on H&C last night was Duke.
You can read more about the larger issues beyond the Enron verdict in the Guardian. Even better is today's broadcast of Democracy Now which can be viewed over the internet.
