Apparently Hannity can not read in addition to being biased.

Echoing White House spin on Fitzgerald inquiry, Hannity trivialized reported focus on Rove contradictions


On the October 24 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity echoed the White House's reported defense of Karl Rove by trivializing special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald's investigation into the alleged outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame and reducing it to a focus on contradictions in Rove's grand jury testimony purportedly resulting simply from failed memory. But contrary to Hannity's suggestion, the purpose behind Fitzgerald's reported scrutiny of Rove is not to punish memory lapses. Rather, according to the October 21 New York Times article upon which Hannity's comments were evidently based, Fitzgerald was focusing on Rove's conversation with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper to determine whether Rove's "lack of a recollection" was part of an effort to "conceal actions and mislead prosecutors."

Hannity was apparently referring to an October 21 New York Times article titled "Cover-Up Issue Is Seen as Focus in Leak Inquiry." The Times reported that Fitzgerald is investigating whether Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, "sought to conceal their actions and mislead prosecutors." According to the article: "Among the charges that Mr. Fitzgerald is considering are perjury, obstruction of justice and false statement -- counts that suggest the prosecutor may believe the evidence presented in a 22-month grand jury inquiry shows that the two White House aides sought to cover up their actions, the lawyers said." The Times further reported that Fitzgerald focused partly on a July 11, 2003, conversation between Rove and Cooper, in which they discussed Plame's CIA status. Rove reportedly did not inform the grand jury of his conversation with Cooper "until months into the leak investigation." According to the Times:

Later, Mr. Rove said he had not recalled the conversation with Mr. Cooper until the discovery of an e-mail message about it that he sent to Stephen J. Hadley, then the deputy national security adviser. But Mr. Fitzgerald has remained skeptical about the omission, the lawyers said. ......

1. "Hannity is either the dumbest person ever born or a bold-faced liar!"

Judge Marilyn Milian's, People's Court, catchphrase when receiving torturous BS testimony. I added the Hannity part. ;-)

It really fits these willfully ignorant 'commentators' who willfully misread or misinterpret.

Other good ones that apply to the right-wing spinners:

"I wouldn't believe you if your tongue came notarized!"ng?"
"Who am I gonna believe, you or my lying eyes?"
"You're either the dumbest person ever born or a bold-faced liar!"
"I understand English, I just don't understand liars."
