Sean Hannity is still on his kick of trying to make an Obama campaign ad into Watergate. And who better to inform the “we report, you decide” network's viewers whether or not there was illegal collaboration between the Obama campaign and the pro-Obama SuperPAC that produced the ad than Sarah Palin? Rest assured that she didn’t let a little thing like not having a law degree or not having done any apparent research stop her from arriving at her guilty verdict and more.
Hannity again asked the Watergate-like question, “What did (Obama) know about the ads, when did he know it and why won’t he condemn it?”
In her whiny, screechy, condescending voice, Palin said reporters “are basically prostituting themselves” for access to Obama by refusing to “investigate.” And yet, there didn’t seem to be much left to investigate given that she already “knew” laws had been broken:
They’re letting this go on, though it is illegal. It violates the, um, the PAC laws. What I would like to see happen is for just one reporter in the mainstream media who knows the truth about this to stand up and um, uh, do the worthy and ethical thing and let Americans know that there was collaboration and also that this is a far-fetched despicable ad that misrepresents Governor Romney’s position.
“Great American” Hannity showed not a scintilla of regret nor sorrow that his president had been adjudged a lawbreaker. He said happily, “That would be a violation of law, Governor.”
Well, last I checked, Hannity and Palin work for a mainstream media outfit called Fox News. How about “just one reporter” reporting on that illegal collaboration they care so much about? Either neither of those two have any cred with the “objective news” division of Fox or the “objective news” division is in the tank for Obama like the rest of the “lamestream” media… or there’s no story there to report.
But of course, Hannity didn’t go there. Instead, he went on to remind us what a big martyr poor Palin is at the hands of the liberal media/Obama administration (because if you're a Fox Newsie, there’s no difference! ) “What would you like to say to the president?” Hannity egged asked.
Palin replied:
I hope his daughters never have to go through what he allows and even I believe helps perpetuate what other women go through. He, the president, as the leader of these attackers and these attackers try to invalid and discredit somebody’s record and reputation and what they stand for by diminishing them via these horrible attacks. I hope that his family members don’t have to go through that. You don’t wish it on your worst enemy.
Oh, you mean like using the anti-Semitic term “blood libel” in the wake of the Gabby Giffords shooting in Tucson, when Giffords is Jewish? Or saying President Obama wants to take the country back to pre-Civil War days? Or accusing President Obama of palling around with terrorists? Or is Palin just another GOP Special Victim who can’t take even a fraction of what she regularly dishes out?
Apparently, it’s the latter. Because no sooner had Palin mounted her high horse of decency than she went on to sneer:
But you know at this point, President Obama has proven himself to be one that is just all talk. He’s no, um, he’s no, uh, person that, uh, actually walks the walk. He talks the talk about civility and about fairness and ethics and yet he is the leader of those, um, unfair and, uh, disgusting attacks on people who he just happens to politically disagree with. I think it’s disgusting. And at this point, you know with all due respect to the office of the presidency, when I hear Barack Obama speak at this point, especially when he lectures about ethics and civility, it’s nauseating to me.
What was really nauseating was to see the vicious little smile that came over her face just as she began that last sentence.
