Sean Hannity had an interview with bitter old Dick Cheney tonight. Well, not so much an interview as a right-wing talking points recital. But that’s neither here nor there, what Cheney and Hannity say to each other is guaranteed to be nonsensical and essentially identical. What I thought was fun was the difference in Hannity’s hair color between the interview and the rest of his show. Its almost as if Hannity checked the tape and thought to add some grecian formula before air time to cover the gray…
Hannity live… with darker hair
Hannity before… with a decent amount of silver
Black as night…
Silver fox!
Thanks to the reader who sent this fun in.
The entire photo is darker. Check out the suit. The effect could be nothing more than a change in lighting.
Yea, some of his hair may be graying, but he still maintains a good head of hair. He’s lucky there, mine beginning to immigrate to other places, mainly the bathtub.
I’m with Fred. Not a large enough difference to be considered anything but lighting. Plus, if he does dye his hair, I can’t believe it wouldn’t be taken care of along with the usual litany of things (makeup, wiring his mic, etc) that are done before he goes on.
And even if he does color his hair, so what? I though the left wasn’t the side that got caught up in trivia like who gives what gifts to whom and what color folks hair really is.
Trioed, and I’mn normally on your side Oliver. As someone who’s getting a touch of grey (blame my daughter), I can confirm – I shows up more depending on the light.
I’m sure we can all agree that Hannity is a total asswipe, grey-haired or not.
Right on, Parthenon. The story is not “Television performer gets some make-up” but “totally immoral, dishonest, racist baboon rakes in the big bucks on teevee”. Time to remember John Cleese’s chef d’oeuvre:
Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity
Why not react to the substance OW?
Cheney:
“One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn’t put out the memos that showed the success of the effort. And there are reports that show specifically what we gained as a result of this activity. They have not been declassified.”
“I formally asked that they be declassified now. I haven’t announced this up until now, I haven’t talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country.”
Cherry picking what gets declassified and what doesn’t is what your side screamed about for 8 years. Meet the new boss… yadda yadda. Barry is pathetic.
Why not react to the substance OW?
Because Dick Cheney is a sadistic idiot.
“I formally asked that they be declassified now.”
Somebody needs to remind Biggus Dickus that he is no longer in the motherf**king government and has zero.point.shit authority to tell anybody to do anything.
Geez louise, can you imagine the fauxtrage if Bill Clinton had said something in 2002 like “I’ve asked the CIA to declassify all the memos explaining the specific actions we took against Bin Laden”? Quelle horreur! The presumption! The unmitigated gall! You’re no longer President you sexual deviant, and can’t ask anyone in the CIA anything! We need a special prosecutor to see if Clinton still has moles inside the CIA!!!11one!
I really think you need to get a life, Oliver – That’s a pretty lame article even for you…
Sean sure is handsome, isn’t he..?
seph…
randy: Why not react to the substance OW?
OW: Because Dick Cheney is a sadistic idiot.
But the adults are supposed to be in charge. And adults deal with substance and respond with substance. Children dismiss it with “I don’t have to because you’re an idiot” playground excuses and instead focus on comparing hair color in two differently lit photos.
Cheney: “I formally asked that they be declassified now.”
Rheinhard: Somebody needs to remind Biggus Dickus that he is no longer in the motherf**king government and has zero.point.shit authority to tell anybody to do anything.
And where did he try to order anyone to do anything? He asked, as any private citizen can.
There is no evidence that Dick Cheney has ever been honest when talking to the press. There are uncountably many times where he is known to have lied through his teeth. Often times he has lied about what he has previously said, and you can compare the clips.
Therefore we can with reasonable certainty predict that he is lying again. Since there are no such memos, there will be no such memos released, to which Dick and friends will say “What does the Obama adm. have to hide.”
You cannot release a memo that doesn’t exist, furthermore you cannot prove that such a memo doesn’t exist. The only saving grace here is that Dick is known liar, and so only the idiots will give him the benefit of the doubt on this.
Really? Any private citizen can “formally” ask the CIA to declassify stuff? I can also “formally” ask the Roman Catholic chruch to declare me UltraPope, but I don’t think they’d exactly pay attention. And you conveniently ignore my later point: if Clinton or any Democrat did anything like this you’d be going apeshit.
Remember how the right pretended to get its panties in a bunch several months ago because Obama had the effrontery to set up a White House transition office too soon? But apparently as a Republican ex-vice-pres with no government role at all you can issue requests to the CIA and rationally expect them to be taken under serious consideration. As ever, IOKIYAR.
If we can’t honestly call Fox a propaganda outlet after that little smooch fest, I don’t know what.
They’re probably in your man-size safe, underneath the reports that prove Saddam planned 9-11.
CIA staff made them up just for you to read.
Dick.
I think Joe Biden said it best.
“Who gives a shit what he says? He’s a loser.”
Rheinhard: Really? Any private citizen can “formally” ask the CIA to declassify stuff? I can also “formally” ask the Roman Catholic chruch to declare me UltraPope, but I don’t think they’d exactly pay attention.
Yes. Any citizen can formally ask. By filing an FOIA request for example.
And no, I don’t think the CIA would pay attention if you asked while being interviewed on TV or the Catholic “Chruch” (nice, I like that. Mind if I use in in future?) would pay attention if you asked to be UltraPope. But whether the request would be answered wasn’t what I was commenting on, was it?
Rheinhard: And you conveniently ignore my later point: if Clinton or any Democrat did anything like this you’d be going apeshit.
How poorly you know me. I’d be doing nothing of the kind. But don’t let that stop you from seeing realities that just aren’t there to support your point.
Rheinhard: Remember how the right pretended [pretended? I think they really were upset because those who speak for the right these days really think irrelevancies are important] to get its panties in a bunch several months ago because Obama had the effrontery to set up a White House transition office too soon? But apparently as a Republican ex-vice-pres with no government role at all you can issue requests to the CIA and rationally expect them to be taken under serious consideration. As ever, IOKIYAR.
I wouldn’t expect anyone to respond to a request you or I made during a TV interview (given that we’re not anyone notable). But I think it’s obvious that more attention would be paid to comments made by someone who used to be VP. I’d hope no official response would be coming if all he did was make the request during a TV interview, but expect one would be if he actually filed an official request.
As for whether Cheney “expects” to get a response, I don’t know. There you go reading minds again.
Well this is interesting…
“Because Dick Cheney is a sadistic idiot.”
The Central Intelligence Agency told CNSNews.com today that it stands by the assertion made in a May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that the use of “enhanced techniques” of interrogation on al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) — including the use of waterboarding — caused KSM to reveal information that allowed the U.S. government to thwart a planned attack on Los Angeles. Before he was waterboarded, when KSM was asked about planned attacks on the United States, he ominously told his CIA interrogators, “Soon, you will know.” According to the previously classified May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that was released by President Barack Obama last week, the thwarted attack — which KSM called the “Second Wave”– planned “ ‘to use East Asian operatives to crash a hijacked airliner into’ a building in Los Angeles.”
Randy, you gotta remember — that’s all irrelevant to the discussion, because Oliver called Cheney a bad thing. That trumps everything else.
Especially on a day when Oliver is pulling a Perez Hilton and commenting on men’s hairstyles and whatnot.
J.
Rheinhart: Well this is interesting…
Yes. As I’ve been saying.
WASHINGTON – President Obama’s national intelligence director told colleagues in a private memo last week that the harsh interrogation techniques banned by the White House did produce significant information that helped the nation in its struggle with terrorists.
“High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa’ida organization that was attacking this country,” Adm. Dennis C. Blair, the intelligence director, wrote in a memo to his staff last Thursday.
One can always count on Mr Martin to carry moderation to extremes. He’s extremely moderate.
Bruce Henry: One can always count on Mr Martin to carry moderation to extremes. He’s extremely moderate.
I have my moments, like most, of both moderation and extremism.
But you comment rings a bit sarcastic. Where in this discussion have I been so extreme as to prompt your comment?
I am a republican and Sean is a dick
I am so ashamed that FOX News is the rep for the conservative movement in this country.
jr: I am a republican and Sean is a dick
I say the left should act like the grown ups we declare ourselves to be and not practice the same superficial criticisms we point to on the right as childish. I point out the fact of what someone actually said. I respect the rights of private citizens to redress their government for grievances.
And these make me a dick?
Remind me how those on the left aren’t like those on the right?
