Marty Kaplan: Hannity's Boswell to Rummy's Johnson

Marty Kaplan Sun Dec 10, 11:19 PM ET

The news that SecDef Rumsfeld's double super secret surprise farewell tour of Iraq was being taken without any press accompanying him was not contradicted by the news that Sean Hannity was on the plane with him.


As Rummy hopped from base to beleaguered base, still promoting the Iraq war as the one true way to stop Al Qaeda from making more 9/11s, who better than Hannity to have along as a fluffer? Prepare for a week of EXCLUSIVE!s reassuring Fox viewers that we are, indeed, going to stay the course, and that Bush's bipartisan blather about A New Way Forward is just mush for the wimps. Who cares what 41's girly-men think? No one comes home from Viet - I mean, Iraq, until Kissinger says so.

Not only can Hannity be counted on to deliver the "Rummy is no surrender monkey" eulogy for the departing Secretary. Giving the Fox bullyboy the only media seat on the plane provided Rumsfeld with the pleasure of saying f-you to the New York Times and the Washington Post, to the networks and the wires, to the com-symps and America-haters who bedeviled his press conferences and sorely tried his royal patience. I wonder why Armstrong Williams and Bob Novak didn't get asked along.

1. Ollie is also over there

and earlier I saw a clip of him in Ramadi or Fallujah...somewhere in the Anbar area. He was talking to a soldier about killing the enemy, etc. They also were talking about RPG's hitting the day before. Wonder if something hit the helicopter that crashed today and the 2 others. :shrug:

3. Ollie North!?!?!?!

Jaysus Effing Keerist on a trailer hitch; that MF belongs in Leavenworth--wait, make that Abu Ghraib. This whole admin is a friggin psycho ward. :nuke:

4. YUP!

He was pushing the propaganda more than normal. Living here in the UK, it's CNNI, Fox, BBC and now Al Jazerra...I'm a news junkie so I'm constantly flipping the channels. But today with Ollie and yesterday with the bug man, I'm taking a break from them. My language gets a bit foul for my 5 & 6 yr olds. :evilgrin:

9. Glad I missed that.

Canada's still pretty much of a Fox-free zone; good thing, too. What you describe would have led to this

That's if my blood pressure didn't beat me to it...

7. too bad he wasn't fragged..

just sayin.

2. I don't consider hannity "press."

He's a lying, hating, hump of a human being who could not find work any other way. I'm just so excited to find out what a man who resigned his position in disgrace is doing at the scene of his worst crime. Good thing it will be reported on by a competent hard working honest journalist.

All the freepers can now buy their very own sean hannity war action figure complete with sock in crotch

5. "fluffer" what a great choice of words.

10. Fux snooze

6. Wonder if Rummy is going to get an hour on Faux news.

8. I guess there is no chance they left him behind in Fallujah, is there? Nah.

Pity.
