Stupid Quote of the Day: Hannity the clueless blunder on healthcare reform

Sean Hannity

Once again, you really gotta wonder just how utterly clueless – probably willfully so – even an unmitigated oaf like Hannity can get. Of course, it’s always possible, if not likely, that even he (and company) are just spewing stupid and sensationalist crap intentionally, simply to appeal to their fanbases of ignorant pearl-clutching demagogues. But, even then, you gotta wonder how even the most disconnected fool can say something so stupid – such as, for example, when Hannity claimed that “no conservative is against healthcare reform”.

It would seem the Universe doesn’t fold back on itself in the face such sheer irony, seeing as we’re all still here.

Here’s the video, with transcript (courtesy of Politicususa) below:

“So now it’s back to the old drawing board for the Democrats on healthcare, which by the way maybe they’ll be a little bipartisan, by the way no conservative is against healthcare reform, but you know what any discussion about portability, or medical savings accounts, or tort reform, or tax cuts you know it has just been diminished and pushed aside, and all there’s been is alienation and derisive comments by the Democrats.”

Of course, in Hannity’s defense (however tentatively), it’s probably just meant that no conservative is against their view on what healthcare reform should be. Which, of course, amounts to absolutely nothing that can be called “reform”, considering how most conservatives are against pretty much any attempt at changing the U.S.’s healthcare system as it is.

So, really, either way, what he said was still extraordinarily stupid.
