FOX News Milks The Patrick Kennedy Story And The Democrats Let It Happen
Reported by Ellen - May 06, 2006

Hannity & Colmes completely ignored the resignation of Porter Goss, head of the CIA, yesterday (5/5/06) and spent the first 36 minutes of its hour-long show discussing Patrick Kennedy and the news that he will check himself into drug rehab. It seemed an obvious feint to me, deliberately designed to draw attention away from the troubles of the Bush Administration but the two Democratic guests, Ellis Henican and Rich Masters fell for the ploy and even assisted it.

Sean Hannity claimed, “I only wish (Kennedy) well, personally.” Oh, sure he does. That’s why Ann Coulter and Karen Hanretty were chosen to represent Republicans on the panel. Coulter and Hanretty seemed to be in competition for who could utter the shrillest insults in the shortest period of time. I think it was a toss up.

Coulter might have won had she not been overcome with emotion for poor Rush Limbaugh and Tom DeLay, those undeserving victims of politically-motivated prosecutors who never go after Democrats. They “never have to worry about this,” Coulter said in an emotional voice. According to her, Limbaugh simply had “a back problem.”

I suspect Ann Coulter’s emotion had something to do with the fact that she, herself, may be facing felony charges – for voter fraud. Not only that, her bizarre and incoherent performance on Hannity & Colmes last December indicates she may have a substance abuse problem as well. All the while she was throwing stones at Kennedy, neither Henican nor Masters questioned why she was getting a pass from FOX News.
