Sean Hannity is an absolute marvel and an inspiration to any kid in the country. No matter how lackluster your thinking or your capabilities in anything at all, there's still a chance you could be the next Sean Hannity. You, too, can get up there on Fox News to say President Obama is going to force Americans to buy reefer. (New York Times: FOX: OBAMA TO FORCE ALL AMERICANS TO BUY POT)
It doesn't take more than a few orbits around the Sun before you stop asking if there's a limit to how stupid people can be so there shouldn't really be much shock over Hannity making a career out of idiocy like that but still it's worth scratching your head a little bit. For big bucks, it would be worth being the news equivalent of a crack whore, right?
Another beauty part came when John Boehner was advised Obama had said reefer is no more dangerous than alcohol, to which he responded, "I saw that as an insult."
If Boehner had more substance than a soundbite, we might know why he thought that was insulting or what he thought was being insulted.
I don't write these to make myself feel superior as I don't feel that way, not even a little bit. Hannity is probably not stupid but he is profoundly damaged and how did money become such an obsessive need in him that he became such a whore to get it. If you protest at all then he either whines or makes it clear, "I know Ted Nugent and you've heard him. He'll kill you. That fucker is crazy."
I'm quite clear on people, particularly politicians, becoming whores and we can call that the Jerry Springer Syndrome but the difference is that Springer pretends he performs a public service whereas Hannity is at least intelligent enough to know what he is saying is utter rubbish. Maybe he's stoned.
(Jerry Springer was Mayor of Cincinnati and quite a good one ... until he got busted due to a visit with, get this, a hooker. As long as there are American politics, comedians will never run out of material.)
