Harold Ford has Hannity 'moving on' ....
Edited on Thu Nov-02-06 05:17 PM by understandinglife


FORD: Absolutely. I'm a Christian. And I think everybody deserves a second chance. He (Senator Kerry) made clear what his intent was, which was to challenge the policy we have on the ground in Iraq, which I think is widely believed to be not working in many quarters. We all share the same goal of winning.

He's apologized now twice. I said early this morning, matter of fact, late last night, that he should apologize to the troops, whatever his intent was. He's done that.

HANNITY: Well, let me ask you this. He said it was a "joke," and even in this latest statement. Can you explain to me what the joke was supposed to be? Because I just don't get it.

FORD: Look, we forgive Rush Limbaugh for what he did to Michael J. Fox.

HANNITY: This isn't about Rush Limbaugh. This is about — he's running — what is the "joke" part? I don't get it. Before he apologized, though, he used the word — he says it's a joke. Where's the joke?

FORD: You'd have to have him on and ask him all of that. I take a person at their word. You know, when Vice President Cheney mistakenly shot his friend while they were out hunting, he said he was sorry and didn't mean to do it. I believed him.

If John Kerry says that it was an awful attempt at a joke, I mean, I take him at his word.

Now, if he hadn't apologized, I'd share your position. But he's apologized now. And it's interesting. Here we are, while all these kids are at war, while we all agree — even the president of the United States has changed his rhetorical description of this war from "stay the course" to "whatever the case may be."

HANNITY: Let me move on, if I can.

Sure thing Hannity ... I bet more than your feet were running from this one ...


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.... and, if you doubt it, just check 'the google' ...

1. He needs to have the joke explained to him?!
Don't tell me Hannity isn't any brighter than the Bush boy! I didn't think anyone else was that dim!

:wow:

5. Here's the joke, Sean. The president is a dumb fuck. Does that help?
It's only a joke of course. The truth is the president is a callous bastard who sent our Army and Marines off to fight an unwinnable war, wearing inadequate armor, and then charged them exorbitant medical bills when they got their limbs blown off....

Hmmm... Maybe Hannity's right. It's not really that funny after all.

9. Good for Ford, for not taking the bait
Clearly no matter how stupid Hannity is, he understands the joke. But like the pig he is, he wants to wallow in the mud.

Ford just refused to go there and kept throwing it back in Hannity's face - pointing out the failings of the administration and the members of the administration.

8. I'd like to have seen that interview . . .
Ford has been impressive in every interview of him I've seen. I'm not entirely sure he's actually a Democrat, but he's a strong presence and very convincing. Sounds like Hannity couldn't get his pry-bar in anywhere.
