Fox News host and man who yells at his kids while sleeping - Sean Hannity - decided to try his hand at (unintentional) comedy on his show Monday night, as he said this to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich:
"You know, Mr. Speaker, I kinda feel in many ways we've been--and you've been included in this and you've been an enormous help with great analysis--we've almost been a sole voice here of sanity in the media."
Really? Okay, you can all stop laughing now. But seriously, really (where's Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler at when you need them?)?
According to Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-check site, Politifact, Hannity and Gingrich have the combined scorecard:
True: 12 (11.9%)
Mostly True: 12 (11.9%)
Half True: 24 (23.8%)
Mostly False: 19 (18.8%)
False: 21 (20.8%)
Pants on Fire: 13 (12.9%)
True/False Net: 23.8%/52.5% (-28.7%)
Mr. Hannity, what do you think about those numbers?
"You know, Mr. Speaker, I kinda feel in many ways we've been--and you've been included in this and you've been an enormous help with great analysis--we've almost been a sole voice here of sanity in the media."
Okay then. He's a stubborn one, isn't he? How about I share a few quotes uttered by the two before-mentioned gentlemen and see what stubborn Sean thinks then?
Hannity: "Here you are, you're a liberal, probably define peace as the absence of conflict. I define peace as the ability to defend yourself and blow your enemies to smithereens."
Gingrich: "She's (his first wife) not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."
Your thoughts, Sean?
"You know, Mr. Speaker, I kinda feel in many ways we've been--and you've been included in this and you've been an enormous help with great analysis--we've almost been a sole voice here of sanity in the media."
Okay, let's try this again...
Hannity: "If someone's not attacking you that means you're not doing your job effectively."
Gingrich: "By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon. And it will be American."
Sean?
"You know, Mr. Speaker, I kinda feel in many ways we've been--and you've been included in this and you've been an enormous help with great analysis--we've almost been a sole voice here of sanity in the media."
Let's try this one more time...
Hannity: "I don't think we should proselytize a particular religion." "The U.S. is the greatest, best country God has ever given man on the face of the earth." "I have liberal friends. They are misguided, they are wrong. I disagree with them. I don't want them to vote. I want them to go on vacation in November."
Gingrich: "I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract; I think too much." "A mere 40 years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about." "Andrew Jackson had a pretty clear idea about America's enemies. Kill them."
Mr. Hannity, would you care to chime in and provide us your thoughts here?
"You know, Mr. Speaker, I kinda feel in many ways we've been--and you've been included in this and you've been an enormous help with great analysis--we've almost been a sole voice here of sanity in the media."
I give up. I guess, according to Sean Hannity, down is up, white is black, wrong is right, and insanity is sanity.
