Hannity vs. Hannity

John Amato at Crooks and Liars made an amazing point that I hope is not soon forgotten:

How will Hannity ever conduct an interview again?

Hannity's response to Ann Coulter's use of the word faggot pretty much ended his interviewing technique:

Hannity: I didn't hear it. I'd rather see it before I comment on it and whatever. You know, no other person is responsible for what a person says except that person. And so, if they have a problem with what Ann Coulter says, blame Ann Coulter. You can't blame somebody else for what she said. So I didn't see it.

There goes his shtick. For all future participants—no longer can he ask any guest if they are embarrassed by what so and so said.

Sean hannity regularly demands liberal or Democratic guests on his show to denounce or apologize for statements by other liberals or Democrats that he considers to be offensive. His inability to denounce what Coulter said and his statement that "you can't blame somebody else for what she said" perfectly proves Hannity's blatant and unapologetic IOKIYAR (It's OK If You Are Republican) hypocrisy.

Every future guest on Hannity's show should memorize this quote to throw it back in his face when Hannity uses this signature attack of his. He'll never be able to interview another liberal or Democrat ever again.
