Hannity Embarrasses Himself (Again).
Hannity junkyard scheme is a clunker

On his Fox News Channel program on June 18, 2009, political commentator Sean Hannity mocked the "Cash for Clunkers" program recently approved by Congress, saying a loophole would allow someone to buy an old heap at a junkyard, have it towed to their house, and the government would give them $4,500 for it.

Under the program, people can get $3,500 to $4,500 if they trade in their old gas-guzzler for a more fuel-efficient new car. The idea is to boost the ailing auto industry while improving the environment.

"Listen, all we've got to do is you got to go to a local junkyard -- all you've got to do is tow (the car) to your house. And you're going to get $4,500," Hannity said. "I'm going to go do that." Hannity said.

Actually, legislators accounted for just such a scheme. Find out how .

2. I hope everyone of his listeners goes and buys a clunker
and tries to get the money for it from the government.

And when they get turned down they go find out where hannity lives and kick the shit out of him.

7. How Can You Tell?
He's never actually embarassed, and everything he does is so embarassing to the rest of us humans that it seems hard to tell if something is particularly embarrassing.

That you can tell makes you a better observer of the roofer than i.

12. Good. He'll be inciting his dumber listeners to commit fraud and get incarcerated on his advice.
Good job, Sean, you great American, you!
