The Daily Show: Sean of the Fled - Stay Mr. Hannity, Stay

Just let him go, please oh please let him go...

Sean Hannity takes exception to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's dismissal of his state's more extreme conservative elements. Governors Rick Scott and Rick Perry sell Sean Hannity on their respective states, but Nathan Lane, Tim Gunn and the cast of "Jersey Boys" make a strong counter argument.

On last nights episode of the Daily Show, Jon Stewart totally dismantled and took apart Monday night's Sarah Palin interview with Sean Hannity on his program at Fox News. As usual it is a must see.

"Sarah Palin makes a miraculous recovery after being unfairly linked to the Tucson shootings. Credit for Sarah Palin's recovery from being unfairly linked to the Tucson shootings has to go to her nurse, Sean Hannity."

RNC chairman doubts GOP will win back the House this November

The Hill -
By Bob Cusack

RNC Chairman Michael Steele said Monday night that he doesn't think Republicans will win control of the House in 2010 .

Asked by Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel whether he believes the GOP is going to take over the House, the chairman of the Republican National Committee responded, "Not this year."

Pressed on his prediction, Steele later said, "I don't know yet." Steele said, "We're going to see, I think, nice pickups in the House," but added it is difficult to provide a number because it is still early in the 2010 cycle.

Other Republicans, including House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (Va.) and House Chief Deputy Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), have expressed more optimism about the chances the GOP will retake the lower chamber this year.

Hannity urged Steele on Monday night to draft a new Contract with America before the November elections.

Steele did not completely commit to a new contract, but said, "I think you're going to a see a definitive document with clear definitions of who we are."

Jon Stewart: Barney Frank and the New Liberals at Fox News

Great episode of the daily show the other night. In this two part segment, Jon Stewart supports Barney Frank as he confronts a Nazi name-calling protester at a health care reform town hall meeting while he ties in Fox News which must have become a member of the liberal media by defending protesters, criticizing the president and shoving its values down America's throat.

Olbermann Interviews Water Boarded Radio Host, "Mancow" Muller

Right-wing radio host Eric "Mancow" Muller, who had once called Barack Obama "a secret Muslim" had been saying waterboarding isn't torture. But unlike Sean Hannity and others, he put his money where his mouth was, and went through with being waterboarded to prove it.

He lasted a 6 seconds saying its worse than anything he ever imagined, equating it as being worse than drowning. He said that it is definitely torture and he would have said anything in the world to make them stop.

Keith Olbermann congratulated him on his efforts and has donated $10,000 to the Veteran of Valour charity founded by Sgt. Klay South, who administered the waterboarding.

Watch the interview and then you can decide if waterboarding is torture or not:

The Jesse Ventura Tour: If You Missed Any Of It, You Missed A Lot

This past week former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura made the talk show rounds to promote his book "Don't Start The Revolution Without Me" that was released in paperback this weeks. He spent the week appearing on shows like Hannity, The View, Fox and Friends and Larry King, he also made an appearrence on the Howard Stern Radio Show . If you missed any of the interviews this week you missed a lot, it was all very entertaining. 

Jesse is a very out spoken critic of the Bush Administration's use of torture techniques like "water boarding" and believes that any type of torture is wrong. He feels America is better than that and doesn't need to stoop the level of the terrorist.

Being I already posted earlier this week Jesse's appearence on the Sean Hannity, I had to follow it up with these two:

The Jesse Ventura Smackdown Interview with Hannity

If you haven't scene this awesome smackdown of Sean Hannity by the one and only Jesse " The Body" Ventura, former Governor of Minnesota, then you are in for a real treat.

Ventura puts Hannity in his place over a number of issues, from the "Obama deficit", 9/11 and Monica Lewinsky.

Hannity literally does not know where to go and he looks foolish trying to defend President Bush and laughing at the notion hat Barack Obama is a very intelligent man because he can read off a teleprompter- something that Hannity does everyday.

Hannity falsely claimed CBO "say[s]" economic recovery plan is "not a stimulus bill"

From Media Matters-

Discussing the economic recovery bill, Sean Hannity falsely claimed that the Congressional Budget Office "say[s] it's not a stimulus bill." However, in analyzing the House and Senate versions of the bill, the CBO stated it expects that either version "would have a noticeable impact on economic growth and employment in the next few years."

Discussing the economic recovery bill during the February 2 broadcast of his Fox News program, Sean Hannity falsely claimed that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) "say[s] it's not a stimulus bill." However, in analyzing the House version of the bill, H.R. 1, and the proposed Senate version, the CBO stated that it expects the measures to "have a noticeable impact on economic growth and employment in the next few years." Additionally, as Media Matters for America documented, in his January 27 testimony before the House Budget Committee, CBO director Douglas Elmendorf said that H.R. 1 would "provide massive fiscal stimulus that includes a combination of government spending increases and revenue reductions." Elmendorf further stated: "In CBO's judgment, H.R. 1 would provide a substantial boost to economic activity over the next several years."

Hannity also suggested that the CBO, in addition to Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein, has stated that money spent "in 2010, 2011, 2012" would be ineffective as economic stimulus, asserting that "[w]hat they're telling us" is "the infrastructure spending and real spending in this bill comes out in 2010, 2011, 2012. How does that -- how do you label that a stimulus plan?

" But as Media Matters has noted, economists, including Elmendorf, have said that fiscal stimulus in 2010 or later would be effective in the current economic situation, in which economic output is projected to remain below its potential long after the technical beginning of the recovery. In his January 27 testimony, Elmendorf stated that, unlike in ordinary "periods of economic weakness" that "are fairly short-lived," "CBO projects that economic output will remain significantly below its potential for several more years, so policies that provide stimulus for an extended period of time may be appropriate."
