Sean Hannity: Let Them Eat Rice And Beans!

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on April 24, 2012 · Flag

Multimillionaire Sean Hannity once again showed just how in touch he is with struggling Americans when he lectured them about his solution to combat hunger: eat rice and beans. In the first place, Hannity knows that poor people are not really poor because they've got refrigerators, stereos and TV's, just not the best and latest "and they don't live in the nicest neighborhood." And thanks to his "friends" who eat rice and beans and the fact that he "sometimes" goes shopping, he knows rice and beans do the trick.

"Regular guy" Hannity told a caller to his radio show yesterday:

I never went to bed hungry in my life... Most Americans haven't. ... I have friends of mine that eat rice and beans all the time. Beans - protein - rice. Inexpensive. You can make a big pot of this for a week for relatively negligible amounts of money for your whole family and feed your family.

Look, you should have vegetables and fruit in there as well, but, you know, if you need to survive, you can survive off it. It's not ideal -  you know, you can get some cheap meat and throw in there as well for protein. There are ways to live really, really cheaply.

According to Feeding America, a non-profit devoted to problems of hunger in this country:

Right now, millions of Americans are struggling with hunger.  These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days.

Maybe Hannity should pay Feeding America a visit and show them that all they need is better shopping habits!

It works! On topic, rice and beans is not enough to survive on, though it’s better than straight noodles. Beans are an incomplete protein, so they need to be complemented with garden-grown lentils or cheeseburgers, depending on your taste. Also, I’m not sure about rice (never touch it if I can help it), but I would be extremely leery of eating week-old beans as Hannity seems to be suggesting.

Rupert Murdoch employee High End Hannocchio never went hungry because daddy and sister fed his fat arz when he was barely a making wage.

This clown will regret making that remark when News Corporation comes tumbling down. In the end, the only thing he can afford to eat will be beans and rice.

NOTE TO HANNITY

We hope you lose your employment with News Corporation, and forced to live on beans and rice forever. What goes around, comes around.

My Mother 83 year old stated during the Great Depperession everybody was hungry. I guess thats what FOX means about going back to the good ole days.

Kind of funny (in a really sick, twisted, right-wing way) that, if a report about Cuba came out that the people have to resort to a diet of beans and rice, the horde of FoxNoise bobbleheads would be showing this as “evidence” that Communism doesn’t really work. But let hungry Americans be forced to resort to such a diet, well, the bobbleheads don’t see any real problem since “real Americans” will hunker down and make do with what they’ve got in order to survive.

(Even funnier, if a group of vegans tried to promote a “beans and rice” diet as healthy, the bobbleheads would be chastising them for trying to impose something other than the “real American” meal of meat and potatoes. Yeah, technically, it’s “steak and potatoes,” but given the current economy, I kind of think many less affluent Americans are resorting to “meat”—no particular cut, not even a particular type, but rather a hodgepodge of different meats and cuts of meat that make bologna look like prime rib.)

Hannity’s on the rehab trail- he’s scrubbed the last 21 hours from his Timeline, and the people who monitor FNC Twitter feeds are working Bookou overtime to keep it minimal on there.

All he needs is self-image rehab, and he’s set. If any of it goes on Fox News, I say tomorrow- he might still be hoping it blows over today.

What Hannity learns when he "sometimes" goes shopping.
