Sean Hannity Is On The Case
Last night, Sean Hannity weighed in on Choirgate and offered a $10,000 bounty to anyone with any information that would help lock the kids up who beat up the acapella group. Yes, the Yale choir story has made it to Hannity & Colmes. God help us all.
We actually watched this whole thing go down as we caught it while flipping through the channels. The whole thing was surreal. There was Hannity, one of the kids beaten up, his mother, one of those interchangeable Fox blondes, and Whitney Leigh (!) discussing the incident. But here’s the thing-- no matter what anybody would say, Hannity would harp on the fact that the group sang the National Anthem as to him, the reason why the kids were assaulted was because it's San Francisco and we hate America. We guess he must think the term "fag" means "freedom loving patriot." We know we often get that confused too.
When we watched a later run of the show, we couldn't but help notice that the story was promoted throughout the show, usually with the tag "Yale Choir Beaten Up for Singing the National Anthem." One tag even mentioned it happened in Nancy Pelosi's city. We're just wondering, but would anybody care abot this story if the Bakers Dozen sang "Auld Lang Syne" instead of the National Anthem? Or then would the story be we hate old traditional songs?
The other completely surreal thing about the whole interview was Sean wishing "the attorney's" good luck. Those attorney's, of course, would be Whitney and Whitney's law partner, Matt Gonzalez and, my, what strange bedfellows.
Meanwhile, ABC7, which has been all over the story, has an interview with both the hapless Police Commissioner and Gavin. The Police commissioner says she can't say anything just yet (of course) and Gavin just spins it. The story does mention that the city is no longer asking the kids to pay for their flight back here to SF to deal with the incident and that investigators are on their way. Well, good.
We recommend watching the ABC7 video not just for the story, but if you go down to the bottom of the page, you'll also get to see video of Gavin flipping out over a question about his drinking.
It's good fun.
