Hannity Disappointed Jeb Bush Doesn’t Want To Torture

During his hour-long interview with Jeb Bush last night, Hannity paused his lightning round to challenge Bush when he said that torture is “no longer necessary.”

“Just quick yes or nos,” Hannity instructed at the beginning. “Gitmo remain open?”

“Yes,” Bush said.

“If we need it, enhanced interrogation?” Hannity asked. The question, itself, suggests that “enhanced interrogation” is sometimes needed.

Bush paused. “I don’t think that’s necessary.”

Instead of moving on to the next quick question, Hannity said, “You don’t. Why?”

“Because I don’t think we need it. I don’t think we need it. It’s not the law,” Bush answered.

“Maybe after 9/11?” Hannity asked hopefully.

“I think it was appropriate at the time given what we – you know, the uncertainty, we were under attack. I think I it was appropriate,” Bush replied. “It was also appropriate to change the policies once we had enough history.”

At that point, Hannity ended the segment.

I’ve previously reported on Hannity’s enthusiasm for torture. Watch this latest example, albeit a subtle one, below, from last night's Hannity, via Mediaite.

Thanks for the correction Ellen. I KNEW all along the date was the 22nd — obviously I was two months off.

And yes Ellen, I DO KNOW that closeness counts in only THREE THINGS in life:

1. HORSESHOES
2. HAND GRENADES
3. BOCCE BALL

:^)

Richard Santalone, you’re close. It was actually April 22, 2009. http://www.newshounds.us/2009/04/22/charles_grodin_to_sean_hannity_youve_got_a_fascist_mentality.php

The video doesn’t work any more for that post so here’s a more recent one and it includes Olbermann

@ scooter Well scooter, today makes it SIX YEARS, THREE MONTHS AND TWENTY-SEVEN DAYS! If my memory serves me correctly (correct me if I’m wrong on this), KKKlannity made his pledge to be waterboarded for charity on February 22, 2009 — and actor Charles Grodin was a witness. Furthermore, Keith Olbermann pledged to pay $1000 for each second KKKlannity stayed underwater.

Race Bait Hannocchio was torture to his family. We can’t imagine what his poor late parents went through in raising this little demon.

There’s a picture of Hannocchio as a kid. He is the splitting image of Damien from The Omen. Jet black, short straight hair and a round, baby fat face. It’s hard to see those three numbers on the back of his head.

Hey Sean you COWARD, how long has it been since you pledged to be waterboarded for charity? Eager to torture others, but too chickenshit to put your money where your mouth is.

To Hannity, torture is patriotic.
