Sestak Debunks Hannity To Hannity

Posted on 02/25/2009 at 4:25 pm by Bob Cesca

Sean Hannity could very well be the craziest of the crazy. This performance is such a raw display of disingenuousness and unapologetic lying. Transcript after the jump.

HANNITY: And that was President Obama, delivering his remarks to a joint session of Congress just a bit ago. And joining us now to give us his thoughts on the president’s speech is Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak [PA] is with us.You know, Congressman Sestak, I’m getting a little frustrated. He said in last week’s $1 trillion-plus with interest, you know, massive spending bill — he said there were no pet projects in it. We all know that’s not true.I have a list of the $410 billion omnibus spending bill. I have a list — I’ll start reading them to you, if you like — of nothing but part of the 9,000 earmarks. How can you say with a straight face that this is not irresponsible spending when it’s full of earmarks? Last week’s bill; this week’s bill being debated. Explain that to me. You’re a Democrat. Help me out.SESTAK: Absolutely. Sean, first off, you try to name me one — one in the recovery bill of an earmark. Now, with a –HANNITY: Got it.SESTAK: — 9,000 earmarks in this omnibus –HANNITY: I got it.SESTAK: — bill — just one moment.HANNITY: Answer.SESTAK: There were — OK. If –HANNITY: One.SESTAK: — you could, just answer this: Is — there’s 9,000 –HANNITY: The salt harvest marsh mouse that gets $30 million. The railway from Los Angeles to Las Vegas: that is a pork project. That is reckless spending.SESTAK: Sean, that — those words are absolutely not in the bill, and you know it.HANNITY: What –SESTAK: You may be reading them off –HANNITY: — the stimulus –SESTAK: — the Internet, but those words are not in the bill.HANNITY: Yeah, of course, because you hide it. But we know where the money’s going. It’s just like, for example, all-terrain –SESTAK: Now, Sean, those words –HANNITY: I’ll give you another one.SESTAK: Sean, if I could.HANNITY: All-terrain vehicles –SESTAK: Now, wait a minute, Sean, you’re reading off an Internet type of thing.HANNITY: I’m actually reading the bill.SESTAK: You’ve got to read the actual bill, and I’ve read every word.HANNITY: You know –SESTAK: Now let’s talk about the 9,000 earmarks.HANNITY: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You know and I know that Nancy Pelosi’s district, that these marshlands to help save the mouse, that’s where that money’s going. This railway for Harry Reid, these all-terrain vehicle trails, they’re in the bill, Congressman. We’re spending $1.3 trillion of our kids’ money. Why?SESTAK: Sean, I just don’t want to mislead the public. Those words are not in the bill. Number two: We’re –HANNITY: But the money is earmarked for it.SESTAK: No, there are not, Sean. Number two –HANNITY: You sound like Bill Clinton.SESTAK: No, I’m just telling you what the facts are, ’cause I’ve read every word of the bill.HANNITY: “I did not have sex with that woman.” They — that is where the money is going, Congressman. Be straight with the American people.

    Why does anyone go on his show if he won’t allow them to talk? Wouldn’t it make sense to just boycott the jerk?

  • GIthePotato

    You can’t use truths and facts against Hannity.DEMs need to fight the GOP with the same intellectual violence.”The GOP love poor people.”"The GOP actually asked for more government welfare.”"Boehner wouldn’t sign the without a dildo museum earmark for his district”"McConnell wanted an earmark for a Creationist museum”"$200 billion of this bill is going in the RNC campaign fund for the 2012 election”Please add more to the list. We can beat their stupidity if we don’t put our minds to it.

    For my part, if i went on the show and he talked over me, I’d bitch slap him with a lead gunny sack.

    Alan -Good point. I don’t know the answer.What’s wrong with: Sean, You don’t know what you are talking about and you are repeating lies you heard somewhere. It’s just that simple.Also, which party was the Bridge to Nowhere an earmark for again?It’s not like the Republicans haven’t been going wild with the earmarks for the past dozen or so years.

    what? I thought my district was getting the dildo museum!!! That’s not fair.

    As Alan4s alluded, it absolutely would make perfect sense to not even dignify the vain prick and craven neo-Nazi media whore, Sean Hannity, with appearances on his FOX program. But, then politicians of all stripes are as vainglorious as Hannity himself. These Democrats make appearances on Hannity’s program are under the delusion that they’re actually voicing an opposing point of view. No, they are indulging the whims of FOX “News’” benefactors by giving credence to an intellectual fraud. All Dems and liberal, progressives etc. appearing on that odious Hannity program are taking part in a damned farce.It’s the same with Bill O’Reilly and the other dorks whose names headlineFNN programs. O’Reilly is nothing more than a preening talking head way past his prime. O’Reilly looks for other media dorks and sycophants to fill in the blanks of the opinions he’s too chickenshit to dole out himself.

    Congressman Joe Sestak ,PhD, USNavy vice admiral ret., is my representative. Hannity knew he did not dare let him talk, he would have made him look like even more of a moron than he is, if that is even possible.

    SESTAK: You may be reading them off –HANNITY: — the stimulus –SESTAK: — the Internet, but those words are not in the bill.HANNITY: Yeah, of course, because you hide it. But we know where the money’s going. It’s just like, for example, all-terrain –Translation in Hannity-speak: Of course it never mentions that anywhere in the bill, but I will continue to push this issue even though I just now debunked it. I don’t need to be right, I just need to be louder.

    Hannity SOP: When caught spewing bullshit, just continue spewing, only louder and keep interrupting your guest. If you prevent him from finishing a sentence before you hear the tag music for the commercial break, you win.There’s an assumption somewhere that Hannity cares that he was caught in a lie. He doesn’t. All that matters is that his knuckle-dragging fans got to hear him shout over a democrat. That’s what they tune in to see. If they actually wanted accurate information, they wouldn’t have tuned into his show.

    I have a vision for how Hannity’s show ought to be run.Every time Sean interrupts a guest or says anything that’s untrue, someone steps in from the side and punches him in the face.It could be the same recurring character, like Gene the Dancing Machine on The Gong Show, or a fresh face for each smack…they could hold contests: Punch Sean Hannity (no purchase necessary).
