Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
A distraction requires something thought out in advance and seeing as how if a GOP talking says something monday he'll say the opposite tuesday they have no forethought.
A good lesson here - always finish a thought before turning your attention to something else, and most importantly, proofread.
Oh, and I might also have included that Hannity is a seditious traitor who demonstrably has portrayed violent action against the president by superimposing blood spatters over his image. But then, I might be accused of distracting folks from the current topic.
However, Attorney General Holder has decided this must be done. President Obama respects that.
Clearly, this is over InSannity's head.
What is distracting about holding people accountable for laws that they potentially broke Sean?
Manatee is a .... (Pick any negative)
A good attempt, Mr. Hannity, but it is unlikely to trick anyone with a functioning mind.
Like when the terror alert was raised whenever there was bad news for Bush.
If President Obama is deflecting, at least it isn't with a phony terror alert system that was designed to scare the American people.
At least this distraction (if it is purposeful) is a legitimate investigation of criminal acts. Perhaps the real story is that the Republicans and Dick Cheney, should be thankful that the Health Care debate is distracting from what would be a center stage investigation not unlike the Iran-Contra investigation.
As always, Hannity turns the truth into some strange form of pretzel logic.
How wrong they were then. How wrong they are now.
Well Sean, we all know Cheney ordered the torture, what they will be investigating is WHO diverted from the acceptable torture, as outlined by John Woo . .
Anyone think Hannity will be covering the 'degrees of torture' not followed by Woo's outline?
Anyone think Hannity will be covering the ex-military private contractor torture policies?
There's a very nice bridge in Brooklyn . .
Laws were broken.. Please read

This is about MURDERS that were done in OUR names.. it is not Political. It goes way above torture.. we have no choice but to bring this to light and NEVER let this happen again..
NO DISTRACTIONS, ANSWER THE QUESTION! WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?, THE MONEY FOUND IN WALLS AND BURIED IN FLOORS AND TUNNELS? THAT MONEY!
When do the oil profits start paying for the war? Mr. Wolfowitz? Are you there?
Where is that money at? I'm gonna need to distract you to that! Obama didn't do it, this distraction comes from the people. Where is the money?
This is not old news. THis is new news, new information and a view into the government under rep authority. THis is the answer for the Health Care Reform, The money has disappeared and not invested like the Medicaid Bill was intially written. THe money was not reinvested!!!!!!! The people are not getting any returns on the war or nothing. THis is the beginning of GOVERNMENT REFORM !
Remember during the election debates when Obama when asked what they would deal with first? McCain listed off his priorities, while Obama stated he would tackle all problems at once...
I guess it doesn't work out for Fox News when health care falsehoods are giving you good ratings. Torture is such a downer, and seriously, are you going to argue for torture???
Well, OF COURSE he is, Sean.
But, figure it this way; it COULD be worse: he could be trying to distract us with Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, Vincent Foster, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky . . .
