Sean Hannity and the rest of the FOX News staff at Hannity & Colmes are either the world’s most ill-informed members of the press or the world’s most untruthful. After President Bush’s speech last night, Hannity announced, “We’re gonna count the time since the president’s speech and we’ll wait for a Democratic alternative… Our clock is officially ticking on the new Democratic leadership and their rhetoric. It’s time to put up.” He grinned smugly as a “ticking” clock appeared in a box with the words “Where’s their plan?” Actually, their plan is right on their websites, easy to find had anyone bothered to look. Updated with video.

That was just the beginning of an unbalanced line-up of guests that stacked up as four Republicans (Rudy Giuliani, Oliver North, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich) to one Democrat (Tom Vilsack) discussing the speech.

Hannity’s full introduction to the first segment on the speech, with Rudy Giuliani, was as follows: "Now the left-wing media spent most of the day counting the hours to which they called the most important speech in the president’s career. So tonight, we’re gonna count the time since the president’s speech and we’ll wait for a Democratic alternative. The San Francisco Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid think that they know so much, so where is their plan? Our clock is officially ticking on the new Democratic leadership and their rhetoric. It’s time to put up." You could hear Giuliani chuckling in the background.

In fact, a December 6, 2006 press release on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s website states the following: “Months ago, House and Senate Democratic leaders suggested to the President that he implement one of the Study Group’s chief recommendations – to change the primary mission of U.S. troops in Iraq from combat to training and support, which would enable the redeployment of U.S. forces to begin. Now that the Study Group has endorsed this proposal, I hope that the President will recognize that he must take our policy in Iraq in a new direction.”

1. They are boldly saying Us and them

Where is the balance? "Where's their plan?" This was inconceivable when we had journalism.

... call it "The Plan"

4. For some unknown reason I watched some Fox...

last night and this morning and I gotta say that it is absolutely the worst thing on TV. Replace the whole thing with Jerry Springer reruns and Girls Gone Wild and "male enhancement" commercials and we'd be better off.

Between almost unending segments of adoration for Trump in his ridiculous fight with Rosie, they did nothing but bash Democrats and "liberals."

First I was stunned by Greta van Susteren spending a full half hour on that Donald character with the roadkill rug but then Hannity did her even better. Then the Fox & Friends assholes hardly even got through the Donald adoration with all that giggling at each other.

Staring with paralyzed horror at the train wreck. Never again.
