Hannity's Phony Middle East Expert Of The Day: Herman Cain

Remember how Herman Cain proved himself even more embarrassingly clueless about Libya than Sarah Palin was about the Bush doctrine? Well, either Sean Hannity and Fox News forgot or else they didn't care. Because on Wednesday night (9/26/12), Hannity trotted out Cain as an authority to discuss the attacks on the American consulate in Libya.

It was bad enough that Hannity tried to pass off Cain as knowledgeable on Libya but the two of them began whining about "disgusting" bias in the "lamestream" media, as Cain said and how the media has "sold out the American people," as Hannity put it, before whining that there are no more Woodwards and Bernsteins. It takes a special brand of arrogance and hypocrisy to whine about such a thing in the middle of such a stunt.

Even worse, Cain is just the latest - and probably worst - example of phony experts to discuss the unrest in the Middle East on the Hannity show lately. Previously, the title was held by Sarah Palin and before her, Ann Coulter. Meanwhile, when Hannity has had real experts on, like John McCain or Senators Jim DeMint and Bob Corker, he has behaved dismissively.

So while Hannity gnashes his teeth over the failure of the rest of the media to do any real reporting, it's nothing more than a cover (flimsy as it may be) for him to abdicate his own journalistic responsibility and promote the only real "expertise" he seems to care about: attacking President Obama, Democrats and the left. On that score, Cain, Coulter and Palin do just fine.

Handout Hannocchio, aka Hannipie the Tin Man-he hates that name-is grabbing at straws trying to throw anything that will stick on Obama.

These frauds are desperate. The Mitt continues to decline in the polls.

The GOP is facing reality that this race may be over. They are focusing on spending resources on Republican candidates who are running for the Senate seat, according to insiders.

The Stop Hannity Express has a question for Koch Cain. How’s that lawsuit against those women who accused you of sexual harassment going? Chances are these allegations were settled out of court. Hmm…the Koch man said those allegations were false. If they were false, why would he settle in the first place? We encourage the masses to ask those questions through social media.

Hannocchio is in no position to call someone else a liar, given his long, long, long, history of storytelling. He can’t help himself. It’s a behavior issue dating back when he was a kid in the streets of New York.

Calling others corrupt is laughable. If Hannocchio wants to discuss corruption, we can start with the hacking and bribery scandal of his employer Ruthless Rupy and News Corporation. We ask all the masses to bring this issue up, and ask why Republicans would associate with News Corporation, given its legal woes.

Here’s a blast from Hannocchio’s past. When he was at WGST in Atlanta, he had a verbal argument with another host. F-words were flying from both of their mouths. Hannocchio has no problem cursing. This clown has a hot fuse.

This hot head also had verbal encounters with staffers at a Santa Barbara radio station back in the late 1980s.

Here’s another secret. Hannocchio is very sensitive when it comes to people talking about him on the air, or in print. He’s also paranoid.

NOTE TO HANNITY

A well-known talker is telling his audience all your secrets.

Oh brother. Up until last year, CrazyTrain Cain thought Libya was a part of the female anatomy. Now kkklannity drags him out of the depths of the neocon cesspool to try and convince the mindless FoxGOPTV sheep that he’s a foreign policy expert? Right. Where’s Uzbekuzbekuzbekibeck, CrazyTrain?

Oh, well — the Herminator recently stated that he’d “have a substantial lead over Obama” if he were the Republican nominee:

http://www.salon.com/2012/09/21/herman_cain_id_be_beating_obama/ . . . so I guess this segment serves to prove that Cain is as much an “expert” on the Middle East as he is on election polling.

Dog gone it, I was hoping he could give us another inspirational quote from the Pokemon movie.

Scum Hannity must be having a hard time filling his hate-filled hour because he keeps trotting out the worst of the Republican Party. No surprising, since Hannity is the worst lowlife pushing the GOP agenda. Hannity’s show is like headlines you see at the supermarket checkout. You don’t take them seriously. Next on Hannity, JFK alive and living in Boca Raton, Fla.

Is this the same pizza man who wants to stop China from going nuclear? ( Earth to Cain: China went nuclear in 1964).

The best praise we can give CrazyTrain Cain is that he is no more ignorant than hermaphrodite mAnn Coulter or the Whore of Babble-On Palin.
