Bent Corner

I was driving home from work today and decided to listen to Sean Hannity. I was listening to XM Radio and CNN was on yet another commercial break. I noticed immediately at Hannity was quite upset about something. The tone of his voice was even more shrill then normal. It seems there is a new weekly TV show on Fox News entitled “Hannity’s America”. Alessandra Stanley from the New York Times watched the show and then wrote about it.

Sean Hannity didn’t like the article. Go figure.

When I got home, I read the article. I thought Sean Hannity’s reaction to the article was funny. The actual article was hilarious.

Underneath the flag-waving swagger, Mr. Hannity’s show is riddled with leftist subliminal suggestion and degrading, un-American images of violence and pornography. Last Sunday Mr. Hannity toured the Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada and stood over two prostitutes lolling on a bed in skimpy lingerie, their hands placed between their legs, and asked them if they believed in God.

The Bunny Ranch? You have to hand it to him for finding a way of incorporating prostitutes into his show. Who knew that Hannity’s America included prostitutes.

But it’s the sex and violence that suggest that Mr. Hannity harbors a secret plan to undermine American moral fiber. Despite President Bush’s assertion that the execution of Saddam Hussein was botched and disgraceful, Mr. Hannity repeatedly flashes some of the more gruesome video images of the hanging, pictures so ghoulish and unsettling that they could well be the fare for a snuff film.

First Hannity shows prostitutes rolling around a bed, then he shows the Saddam Hussein snuff film. I think to many Republicans, the crappy cell phone video of Saddam getting killed is a form of pornography. That strikes me as being quite off. Most Republicans worship Ronald Reagan and Reagan was really quite fond of old Saddam Hussein. May he not rest in peace.

Sean Hannity is a tool. He wraps himself in the American flag and dishes out disparaging comments about the patriotism of Americans that hold views different then his own. Americans like me. He does this not because it is what he really believes. No, he does it to make a buck.

Hannity’s fake patriotism has made him millions of dollars. He loves to chastise people like Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, and the Dixie Chicks because of their political views. The thing that separates these people (and others like them) from Sean Hannity is that they have never made a buck off their political views. Like he does. In fact the complete opposite is true. They often lose money because of their political opinions.

Just ask the Dixie Chicks.

President George W. Bush said something that I found interesting. He had this to say at a rally for one of his Republican stooges:

“The men and women who serve in our all-volunteer armed forces are plenty smart and are serving because they are patriots — and Senator Kerry owes them an apology.”

First he implied that our service members are in Iraq because they volunteered to go to Iraq. That’s simply not true. Just because they took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies doesn’t mean they volunteered to go off and make Iraq a democracy.

Bush also said that members in the military are serving because they are “patriots”. That is simply not true. Most join the military for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with patriotism. Whatever that word even means these days. Sometimes I think it has been turned into something to do with magnetic yellow ribbons and boycotting the Dixie Chicks. To listening to Sean Hannity and getting as many tax breaks as you possibly can.

A majority of the people that enlist in the military do so because of need. Some join for the job training. Some join for help paying for college. Some join for the medical benefits. Others join because they simply want a steady paycheck. Some join for all of these reasons.

If a kid has the means to go to college or to obtain a well paying job, he or she will be far less inclined to enlist in the military.

If anyone owes the troops an apology, it’s George W. Bush. He sent them to invade a country under false pretenses. Thousands of young men and women have been killed or permanently disfigured because of weapons of mass destruction that never existed. Whoops. The fact is that Bush sent our military to invade and occupy a country for false reasons. His huge whopping mistake he himself refuses to admit.

He has no business demanding Kerry apologize for anything. It’s embarrassing. I don’t know if he knows this, but John Kerry is not even running for re-election.
