DONAHUE SMACKS AROUND HANNITY

From Crooks and Liars:

DONAHUE: So you are arguing that we are safer that we attacked Iraq?

HANNITY: You’re darn right. Absolutely.

DONAHUE: We are safer?

HANNITY: Yes. And it was the right thing to do.

DONAHUE: And we’ll be even safer when we bomb Iran, hmmm?

HANNITY: Well it all depends.

I used to spend a bit more time blogging about right-wing TV pundits, not much really, but a bit more than now. Ultimately, I just started ignoring them because, you know, their arguments are really pretty awful, more annoying and frustrating than anything else, self-evidently wrong, and just not worth the time. Every now and then, however, something happens on one of these shows that isn't scripted. Like with this one. Really, it's surprising that Hannity would even allow Donahue on the show: he understands the television medium as well as anybody in the business, and is easily one of the most articulate liberals in the country, totally willing to mix it up with the biggest conservative idiots in the field. This clip is worth watching, if only for the satisfaction of seeing square-jawed squinty-eyed Hannity floundering like the buffoon he is--Alan Colmes was chosen by Hannity to be his sparring partner precisely because Colmes is not Donahue; that is, he's a big fucking pussy.

Anyway, go check it out. The best part is Donahue's response to Hannity telling him that he's trying to "blame America." It really is a lot of fun.
