Muuuhahahahahaha!

Watching him was almost as hilarious as the scandal itself." I just got done listening to him harp about it on his radio show. What an idiot. He keeps reading transcripts of the police interrogation, which apparently have been released, and playing audio portions of the actual interrogation itself. Having done hundreds of interrogations myself, it sounds like any other interview where the bad guy knows he's been caught and attempts to back pedal on the fly. hannity kept saying "I dunno, that sure sounds aggressive", as if the cop being aggressive was supposed to mean something. And FWIW, I didn't think he was being aggressive enough. Who knows what Hannity is trying to prove here? Craig has already pled guilty to disorderly conduct. Is Hannity trying to say HE'D say he was guilty too under similar circumstances as Craig now says he was under? I've always disagreed with his politics, but I'd never say Hannity was stupid. However, only a moron would plead guilty to something like this if they didn't do it. Both Craig and Hannity are sinking to new lows here. What probably gets Hannity's goat here is that Craig has always been one of the robots they could count on, and now it's pretty obvious he's going away. Too bad, Hannity, just too bad.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 Hannity must not have gotten the note from the RNC. As far as I can tell from statements from prominent Republicans, they're hoping Craig just goes away. The only way they lose that seat is if Craig stubbornly tries to hold on, and a credible Republican can't be found to run against him in the primary (and Craig looked like a shoein for re-election, so anyone thinking of running would have to start from scratch now). If Craig somehow wins the primary, that seat could be vulnerable in a state where it really shouldn't be. Plus, the longer he stays around, the longer he's an embarrassment to the party in general.
