Hannity needs to be reminded of the following:
- Edwards is not running for President anymore.
- Hannity shamelessly campaigned for Republican Rudy Giuliani, a serial adulterer.
- Republican nominee for President, John McCain, is also an adulterer. He cheated on his wife while she was recovering from an accident.
So, according to Hannity's logic, can voters trust McCain as the President knowing that he cheated on his wife?
Alan Colmes, Hannity's milquetoast co-host, gathered some courage the other day and challenged Hannity. Newshounds has put together this great video of that exchange:
HANNITY: I’m not getting this. Explain to me and I’m wondering if you can’t keep
the promise to your family, can’t keep your promise to your wife, you’re having
an affair, you’re lying about the affair repeatedly, why should the American
people trust you when you say you’re not going to lie to them? Why should we
trust you?
COLMES: And by the way, that’s a great question Sean asks and
so Amanda, if that’s true and you can’t trust somebody who had an affair. How
can we trust John McCain to be President of the United States—he cheated on by
his own admission on his first wife, he didn’t keep his martial vows, he didn’t
keep his pledge to his first family…
HANNITY: Thirty years ago after
five and a half years of being a POW.
COLMES: Excuse me Sean. You’ve had
your chance to speak, I’m up. John McCain cheated on his wife, right. Amanda? So
how do we trust John McCain? He cheated on his wife, why do you have a double
standard and John McCain’s running for President? John Edwards is not. John
McCain’s wife was in a car accident. John McCain’s running for President, what
about his affair?
HANNITY: After five and a half years in a POW camp.
COLMES: That has nothing to do with it. So it’s OK to have an affair on
his wife.
Later, Keith Olbermann spanked Hannity on his show:
