"Tasteless" Hannity compares Mass. race to earthquake
Posted: Jan 20, 2010
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 -- 3:31 pm
Less than a week has passed since hundreds of thousands of Haitians fell victim to the worst earthquake in their history and Sean Hannity has already co-opted the term to score political points. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann awarded the Fox News host "Worst Person in the World" Monday night for repeatedly saying that the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts would be a "political earthquake."
On at least three separate occasions, Hannity used the word "earthquake" in his election analyses. Only hours after the quake in Haiti, Hannity said, "this would be a political earthquake."
Two days after the quake, Hannity told Sarah Palin, "What a political earthquake that would be."
And three days after the disaster, when it was evident that possibly hundreds of thousands of Haitians had lost their lives, Hannity told Gov. Mike Huckabee, "If Republicans win this, a political earthquake. 9.9 [on the Richter Scale]."
"Three tasteless uses of the word earthquake since the Haitian earthquake including an imaginary reading from the Richter Scale," noted Olbermann. "Mr. Hannity have you ever checked? Is your head by any chance made out of cheese?" he asked.

Oh come on!. I have heard many say that! so ridiculous - ..and it WAS a POLITICAL earthquake
[ In Reply To ..]No one said it had anything to do with Haiti. You guys will use any excuse possible to bash someone.. Brown won.. too bad for you, Olderbag :)
I agree. This is what is commonly referred to as a 'metaphor.' - no msg
[ In Reply To ..]
Olberman himself wins the worst person of the year - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Every time he speaks the absolute garbage that comes out of his mouth. He thinks his "worst person of the year" routine is cute....it isn't. He has no right to name anyone worst person of anything because he IS that worst person.
I can't stand that little weezle Hannity. I'd like nothing better than for his show to just go away. He does nothing but whine. But...in all fairness the political race in MA was a political earthquake. It shook, and it shook hard. Now the dems have to live with the aftermath. That term has nothing to do with Haiti. Even if Haiti had not had an earthquake that is what the MA race would have been compared to. A political earthquake. I've heard the term used before when no earthquakes had coincidentally happened around the time of them using that phrase.
Trying to link that its tasteless to say the word earthquake because your party lost, with what happened in Haiti is tasteless in itself. Mr. Olberman would stop at nothing to whine about something. You can be assured of one thing. If the democrats had won, Mr. Olberman would have been saying himself that it was a political earthquake for the republicans. He really needs something new to whine about.
Olbermann was so anal last night, he could have popped a - diamond out of his backside!! HA!!
[ In Reply To ..]nm
LOL. Yeah, I checked him out and rather enjoyed it. - Dont think he could believe what was happening.nm

watched keithy baby - NObama
[ In Reply To ..]Watched Olblabber myself last night....he was absolutely rabid, more so than usual.
He sure was.....did you see the asinine comment he - made ......sm
[ In Reply To ..]when speaking with Arianna Huffington? He was so desperate to say something..ANYTHING negative about Brown and his family, he actually said to huffington, 'at least she had the name, Arianna, first'!!! What a moron.....as if that name isn't used by many!! He was making it sound as if how dare Scott Brown name his daughter Arianna when Arianna Huffington already had that name!! What a complete and utter pompous jack-leg that man is! Talking about desperate....I bet he had to go home and take a Valium! HAHAHA!!!!

While the Clinton Foundation only puts 10% of its donations towards charity, the IHRC was a real racket for Clinton pals, 1% went towards Haitian groups and agencies on the ground. All that is transparent is that the money didn’t go to Haiti, beyond that the trail goes cold. The money for earthquake relief ...
