I heard today that Hannity could face hearings and jail time

for the memo. He claims he would not give the source of the memo leak and does not care if he has to face jail.

Hannity in jail????? :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

let it happen!

Hannity & Bubba :evilgrin:

HANNITY: You Liberals are on the wrong side of history!
BUBBA: Shut up bitch! smack You about to feel what "wrong side" really means, so bend over and grab your ankles.

"Prison Newsroom Bitches" starring Hannity

stupid me, I thought "Prison Newsroom Bitches" featured Alan Colmes.

Did the memo disclose illegal activity? I haven't heard that the Demo writer did anything wrong under the law. Did he?

just thought someone should mention that.

Even if I didn't know somebody who had been molested I know enough not to joke about it.

picture porky pig raping donald duck.

I don't want to sound like a prude but I just cannot find humor in such horrific violence.

...i'd love to see him defend his credentials in court

On the grounds that he's an "entertainer?" That shoots his arguement all to hell and opens up the gates for the ACLU to challenge the Right Wing media blitz.

From the standpoint of freedom of the press, even a questionable "journalist" like Sean Hannity deserves to keep his sources confidential. That said, I think that there is a good chance that the memo was stolen. That would put Hannity in some serious jeopardy.

Come to think of it, what proof do we have that the memo is legit?

if their information was gotten illegally.
I am so amazed Robert kovak is not in jail for treason. We don't know who leaked the information about Valerie Plame, but the whole world knows who outed her in PRINT!

Hannity is blowing smoke out his arse. He so wants to be in trouble with the law like Rush-bo.

It's also a convenient dodge on the part of jounalists (real ones and those like Hannity) that if they reveal sources, they might lose all their other ones.

I think that's nonsense. These guys are protecting sources who have BROKEN THE LAW! Those honest insiders would likely REWARD a scrupulous journalist to turned in a criminal within their midst. Woodward and Bernstein didn't have their sources shut off even though they named all but one.

ever paid for their perfidy? When Insanity does the perp walk I'll believe it-but not a moment sooner.

...certainly could use a longer one from the Malignant Dwarf.

And why would people be happy to see Hannity in jail? I don't like him but I don't like to see people go to jail for not breaking the law.

wouldn't it be the equivalent of receiving stolen property if he knew it was stolen?

important. Doubt seriously anyone's mentioned that possibility except Hannity - from what I've seen of the memo, it sounded like a political plan - I'm not so sure some Republican didn't write it, steal it, leak it and then scream to high heaven. Hannity has an ego problem.

I hope so, I hope so.

:bounce:

calling himself a "journalist" on his radio show the other day. He's trying to pull a "Bob Novak". I've been wondering why this story was dropped from the front pages of newspapers and isn't the lead news story.....HE COMMITTED A CRIME AND THE REPUBLICANS KNOW IT! First, they bug Street's office in Philly and now they steal this memo. I'm telling you, the Democrats need to sweep their offices for bugs and check their phones for wiretaps. The republicans have made surveillance legal for a reason. Unless there is a clause in the Patriot Act that says they can use bugs, wiretaps and hack computers on everyone EXCEPT public officials? I doubt it!

Hannity's ass belongs in jail along with his felon friend Limbaugh!

status. There are two levels of justice: one for the likes of Hannity and his ilk and the other for the rest of us.

Will Pitt also wrote about it here on DU. I saw the actual memo posted here on DU last week, but I didn't save it. Maybe someone else has it?

Senator wants memo writer identified and to apologize


By Stephen Dinan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES



Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Democrats have been "wholly inadequate" in explaining a memo laying out political strategies for using the nonpartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, and he called on Democrats yesterday to name the staffer who wrote it and have the person apologize.
"I believe that it is reasonable to expect that the author or authors and intended recipient or recipients of this memorandum to disavow this partisan attack in its entirety," Mr. Frist said on the Senate floor in closing yesterday's session.
"I will not permit the Intelligence Committee to be so misused for blatant partisan gain," he said.
Mr. Frist said the staffer who wrote the memo must apologize to the committee chairman, Sen. Pat Roberts, Kansas Republican. Without those steps, Mr. Frist said, the committee "cannot function and will not serve its purpose."

I just wasn't aware that Hannity was involved. So now a judge tell Hannity to come up with his source?

He's trying to make himself (and his 'memo') seem a bit more important, I think. He's probably damned frustrated the story didn't get any legs.

If they fail to do the same to Novak for exposing a CIA NOC agent's cover (where a real felony WAS committed), why would they care about Hannity and his pathetic 'memo'?


(on edit: oops I just noticed that leetrisck posted the same thing in #17. Well, I agree.)

1) It's just what Hannity wants. He's been salivating at the thought of becoming the center of attention -- for the chance to "stand up" against/for whatever it is he thinks he's done.

2) We want the definition of "journalist" to be broad. If we see the definition of journalist become so narrow as to include only those who regularly file news stories with "legitimate" news organizations, we are setting up for a fall un-published authors, bloggers, web journalists and independent documentary-makers.

This issue has peaked. Ignore Hannity. He and the "memo" are inconsequential.

Shucks.

no one cares.
