Hannity Reluctantly Calls On Ensign To Resign
Hannity Reluctantly Calls On Ensign To Resign
On his Fox News show last night, Sean Hannity touted a poll showing that Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), who admitted to an affair with a campaign staffer last week, has a higher favorability rating than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). “Ensign remains more popular than another Nevada politician whose popularity is remarkably low,” said Hannity.
In the next segment, however, Democratic strategist Bob Beckel called out Hannity for seemingly “defending John Ensign” despite being “a big family values guy.” “Here’s a guy that cheats on his wife, not just with somebody, but somebody on his staff who’s married. Now what do you think?” asked Beckel. Hannity reluctantly admitted that he thinks such behavior warrants a resignation:
BECKEL: Excuse me. Excuse me for a second, Mr. University Prager. I want — I want him to answer this question.
HANNITY: My answer is, if you’re going to be a family-values candidate and a family-values politician, and you don’t live up to that, I think you should resign.
BECKEL: Well…
HANNITY: I don’t know where he stands.
When Beckel said he wanted to “let the record show that that you called for John Ensign to resign,” Hannity tried to hedge his words again, saying “I don’t know where he stands on the issues.” Watch it:
Hannity claims to not know where Ensign stands on “family values” issues, but as ThinkProgress has pointed out, Ensign has previously positioned himself as a protector of “the institution of marriage.”
In 2007, Ensign called on then-Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) to resign after he in an airport men’s restroom on disorderly conduct charges, but he declined to call for Sen. David Vitter’s (R-LA) resignation after he acknowledged an affair involving prostitution. In July 2007, Hannity said that Vitter should resign as well.

BOB BECKEL, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Can I just speak to what you did in this segment here for a second?HANNITY: You can do whatever you want.
BECKEL: You go to this thing with John Ensign, right, about Harry Reid. He’s more popular than — now, this is a guy — you’re a big family values guy. Here’s a guy that cheats on his wife, not just with somebody, but somebody on his staff who’s married. Now what do you think? Are you defending John Ensign?
HANNITY: That sounds like a liberal Democrat to me.
BECKEL: That was good.
DENNIS PRAGER, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: Wait, wait, wait. What does have it to do with…
BECKEL: Excuse me. Excuse me for a second, Mr. University Prager. I want — I want him to answer this question.
HANNITY: My answer is, if you’re going to be a family-values candidate and a family-values politician, and you don’t live up to that, I think you should resign.
BECKEL: Well…
HANNITY: I don’t know where he stands.
BECKEL: Oh, he’s big.
HANNITY: But with that said, it is interesting that Harry, you know, Prince Pelosi, Prince Harry and Princess Pelosi. His ratings are lower than the guy that had an affair.
BECKEL: All I’m saying is let the record show that that you called for John Ensign to resign.
HANNITY: I don’t know where he stands on the issues.

June 23rd, 2009 at 12:32 pmHANNITY: My answer is, if you’re going to be a family-values candidate and a family-values politician, and you don’t live up to that, I think you should resign.
Surprisingly reasonable stance on the subject.
HANNITY: I don’t know where he stands.
Flat out lie. He knows exactly where Ensign stands.
Even if Hannity didn’t know that Ensign was a “defending marriage” candidate, in that case he’s got no business being on TV talking about current events.
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:35 pmManatee, if you’re a “big family values guy,” it doesn’t matter where Ensign stands on family values. Does it?

June 23rd, 2009 at 1:13 pmHANNITY: My answer is, if you’re going to be a family-values candidate and a family-values politician, and you don’t live up to that, I think you should resign.
__________________________________________________________
I had to rub my eyes and look at that again, because it seems way too unreal that Sean Hannity and I would agree on something.
Does this mean that Hannity is more offended by Ensign’s hypocrisy than his sexual dalliances?
I really don’t care about the sex lives of people, as long as it’s between consenting adults. I figure Ensign’s inability to keep his pants zipped (as well as the similar inability of Clinton, Vitter, Craig, Gingrich, Giuliani, Edwards, Spitzer, etc.) is a matter between him, his wife, the woman he cheated with, that woman’s husband (if applicable), his family, and his God.
But what’s offensive is when the philanderer is a sanctimonious, pompous, hypocritical waste of flesh who privately engages in the same behavior he publicly condemns others for.
Is this what Hannity meant by that remark? Is this a burst of lucidity on his part? Nah — I suspect this was just a way to get Beckel off his back so he could move onto what he REALLY considered important — a dig at Harry Reid.

Because John McCain was a much greater military man.
You can’t be serious. No one could mean that, honestly, sincerely. In the first place, even McCain would point out what a ridiculous proposition this is. Second, Eisenhower presided over the defeat of our enemies in WWII. McCain is famous for being a POW. A brave one, to be sure but wtf? Are you kidding with this? You must be. How absurd, preposterous, pointless and stupid, all.

June 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pm“Ensign remains more popular than another Nevada politician whose popularity is remarkably low,” said Hannity.
And the reason for that is that Democrats are not lemmings who support their legislators no matter what.
The fact that 39% of the people in Nevada (pretty much all the Republics) still support Ensign speaks volumes about the Republic party and their “situational” ethics.

As far as a “sweet deal” to the UAW, I don’t think that having their salaries cut and benefits cut amounts to any kind of a “sweet deal”.

Perhaps you can explain how that works. The government makes it possible for GM to continue as a company and that’s “killing GM”? The alternative was to allow GM to go belly up in which case all the jobs would be gone, all the stock would be gone and all the retirement benefits would be gone.
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:57 pmf uck doug hampton. he just can’t find a job to put gas in the tank of that pickup. so what if he can’t make $160,000 a year anymore. settle for half and move on!
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:57 pmlet him represent
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm— why do you continue with the lame out dated jargon of a stupid wannabe bygone era?
true dat?
wigger?
HA! It’s Michael Steele. The trying-too-hard-to-look-cool-by-using-pathetically-out-of-date-slang is a dead giveaway.
June 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pmSomehow I doubt if Twajie would extend this principle to include blow jobs from interns…
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pmhe sounds like those kids in the movie “Whiteboys” about kids in Iowa that thought they were rappers
it takes awhile for trends to make it out to flyover country
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pmeverything the government is supporting – gm, bank of america, citigroup, can fall out and die. as for the workers, the government can pick up the tab for the health care and pensions. they’re doing it now anyway, along with the overhead of these companies added. let these dead companies die and let america move on!

You’re right, it’s his business and only his business.
Unless he publically chastises others and calls for their resignation when they are “guilty” of the same behavior.
Oh, wait. That’s exactly what he did. It’s not the philandering, it’s the hypocrisy.

I did a little research using Alexa and it appears there is a boost in both readership and page count during times of troll infestation.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:02 pmThat may explain why the trolls are allowed to return after each purge
the trolls do increase the hit count and therefore the ad revenue for TP
trolls must be secret liberals working hard to help spread the liberal point of view
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:03 pmOk folks, why are you responding to the troll GOPsby? It is very obvious that this one is doing nothing but throwing shit on the wall to try to get a reaction. So stop reacting and let it talk to itself for a while. It will eventually get bored and go away.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:05 pmCalling the latest infestation “Trolls” is an insult to trolls. I’m thinking slugs would be a better term. Gnats also fits. Any other suggestions?
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 pmI vote for gnats, as in Gnats On Parade (GOP)
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 pmI agree bilbo. I can’t say I’ll never again engage the slugs but I’ll refrain unless one actualy wants to debate.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pmwhy don’t you liberals stop supporting corporations and let them be buried. change the course from bush if you hate him so much.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pmGnats On Parade. I like that.

Somehow I doubt if Twajie has actually ever experienced one.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:10 pmYou naysayer…you doubt…obviously Twatjie has…it was self-inflicted…
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:13 pmAnd since he sexually stalked that woman

stalked? she gave him what he wanted. i guess women are never guilty of anything despite their choices! all women are women – “good” and “bad” don’t apply to them.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:14 pmI know this is way off topic of this particular thread, and it does give existence to Twajie (to which he so desperately craves), but
How the Big Three CAN make a profit.
My apologies in advance for troll feeding, but as a Michigander, I ain’t going to let uneducated dum basses make dum bass accusations.

Johnny Dollar says you are wrong…and he should know since he was there.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:19 pmSorry, another off topic, but I had lunch with my wife, so I’m in a great mood:
Twajie walks into a bar, orders 5 shots.
The bartender asks “What’s the celebration?”
Twajie claims “My first blowjob.”
Bartender: “Congratulations! How about one on the house?”
Twajie: “No thanks, if 5 doesn’t get rid of the taste in my mouth, nothing will!”
Thank you.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:19 pmThank you very much.
Try the veal.
@142
Apparently they can’t. No matter how you feel about bailing out the auto giants, it can’t be argued that if they were capable of making it on their own, this wouldn’t have happened.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:20 pmI think DRxJ meant receiving one. But I guess giving one counts too.

June 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pmi say keep ensign and have midget boy hannity resign
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pmOkay, back on topic:
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:29 pmI wonder what InSannity had said during Edwards revelation of an affair.
You know, a NON POLITICIAN, with nothing at stake for political gain.
I wonder, but have neither the time, nor patience, nor stomach to google.
Hannity, like many other political commentators, tell their audience what they want to hear. There is no consistency or rationale to their positions. His audience is very limited and most people do not take Hannity serious. He will continue doing what he does the best, BS’sing his way through a TV program so all the criticism will not change his positions. Think of Hannity like the Energizer Bunny; he keeps banging the drum without any real purpose.
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:44 pmI really don’t give a hoot if Ensign has affair, it is the hypocrisy of talking about family values, without practicing family values that is objectionable. If he stood up and said one my key values is to nail every woman I can, and he got elected in his state then fine. As for Hannity, his comments that he didn’t know where Ensign stands on family values, it is beyond laughable that he would go on the air make such a comment, doesn’t he know about “the Google”?
June 23rd, 2009 at 2:46 pm“Sinister” Hannity is nothing but a “dumb” a$$ racist. If he reported tomorrow that Obama was moving planet earth to pluto his small “brainwashed” audience would believe him.
June 23rd, 2009 at 3:18 pmWow!! I knew Harry was low in the polls, but…
Hey Harry, I hate to say this but it looks like it’s time for you to have an affair. (snark)
June 23rd, 2009 at 3:32 pmWell Sean– Ensign’s a Promise Keeper (fake defender of marriage) a judgmental rock thrower, a cheater, a hypocritical liar and a homophobe.
June 23rd, 2009 at 4:00 pmYou two were separated at birth–of course you don’t really want your brother to resign.
HANNITY: I’m not getting this. Explain to me and I’m wondering if you can’t keep the promise to your family, can’t keep your promise to your wife, you’re having an affair, you’re lying about the affair repeatedly, why should the American people trust you when you say you’re not going to lie to them? Why should we trust you?
(Should come as no surprise that Hannity was talking about John Edwards, not Ensign.)
June 23rd, 2009 at 4:19 pmAs far as a “sweet deal” to the UAW, I don’t think that having their salaries cut and benefits cut amounts to any kind of a “sweet deal”.
Anything that’s short of disbanding the union would be considered a sweet deal by wingnuts like him…
June 23rd, 2009 at 4:50 pmHannity is a complete jackass.
He’s a lying New York City con artist who is only taken seriously by gullible senior citizens, rubes and the crazies.
In another era he would be a carnival barker or working on a traveling patent medicine wagon selling miracle cures.

I guess he’s feigning ignorance because he knows he’d come out as a hypocrite if he exposed his IOKIYAR worldview in Ensign’s affair…

Unfortunately I think you are right and that is the reason why TP doesn’t purge this site of useless, vile trolls.
There are many other ways to keep the hit count up, rather than encouraging trolls. One way would be to post the thread in reverse order, with the most recent replies at the top. The way they do it here, it kills a thread once it gets beyond 100 replies.
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:48 pmIf Hannity actually did research, as opposed to reciting talking points, he would find that Ensign was a member of Promise Keepers.
Actually all Hannity needed to do on his time off was refrain from watching himself on TIVO and watch some real news somehere else.
