Hannity Unhinged

Last night, after the debate, I was switching between CNN, FNC, and MSNBC. I stayed on Hannity & Colmes for a while, because it was quite fascinating. The first guest was Terry McAuliffe. He had a nice chat with Alan Colmes, and they pointed out Bush's gaffe re: not being too concerned about Osama bin Laden. Then Hannity got into it with McAuliffe, and to say Hannity was all in McAuliffe's face would be an understatement. Hannity never let McAuliffe get a word in, and an one point started jabbing at him with his pen. At that point, McAuliffe looked right at Hannity and said, "don't touch me," and he said it with conviction. Later on Wes Clark came on, and he had a nice chat with Alan Colmes. (Honestly, Alan Colmes is only good for a nice chat - he doesn't go anywhere near the jugular, like Hannity does). Then Hannity - the uneducated pretty-boy who avoided Vietnam, - got all in the retired General's face. I especially liked it when Clark, having been asked whether Kerry had the strength and conviction to be President, replied, "George W. Bush was cheerleeding while John Kerry played hockey." It was a cute throwaway line, but it was quite astonishing to watch Hannity get all unhinged at that point, screaming in Clark's face: "what do you mean by that? What are you saying about cheerleaders?" over and over and over again. Clark was unfazed, and gave a mischievous smile to Hannity.
