Politics: Sean Hannity apologizes to The Daily Show?!?! Whoa.

  • It was an inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. So Mr. Stewart, you were right. We apologize. But by the way, I wanna thank you and all your writers for watching.
  • Sean Hannity • Speaking of this video we posted last night, where Jon Stewart and the Daily Show essentially proved that Hannity ran old footage of a rally to seemingly make last week’s health care rally seem bigger. While Hannity claims that it was “inadvertent,” he apologized anyway. Don’t see this often, kids. Savor it. • source

Politics: Could Lou Dobbs be headed towards political office?

  • He’s got name recognition, he has a following, he surely knows how to give a speech. He’s mastered the art of sophistry, and of sounding like he knows what he’s talking about while actually not. I mean, he’s about perfect.
  • Guardian columnist Michael Tomasky • Tossing around the same idea we had when we watched Lou Dobbs’ show last night – his wording was open-ended enough that he may not be leaving to go to another show, but angling towards political office. Not that Tomasky supports it – he refers to Dobbs as a “stupid man” – but he might actually make sense in that role. The only thing to keep in mind is that he’s something of an in-betweener: His opinions on climate change and immigration (and birthers!) make him conservative, but his populist, pro-middle-class stances are actually pretty leftist. We can see it now – Palin/Dobbs 2012. • source

Politics: Sean Hannity’s looking the fool thanks to Jon Stewart

  • Do you see what Jon sees? That’s right, Fox News totally lied about the size of last Thursday’s anti-health-care rally on “Hannity.” So on last night’s “Daily Show,” Stewart dressed down Hannity for trying to inflate the size of the crowd using footage of the much-larger 9/12 rally. Good job, hoser.source

Politics: Olympia Snowe could get snowed out by her own party

  • Well of course there is an audience that would love to see Olympia Snowe out of office, within the ranks of social conservatives, that’s for certain.
  • Family Research Council Action PAC president Connie Mackey • Describing social conservatives’ newfound desire to get moderate Maine Senator Olympia Snowe out of office. The group is encouraged by a recent study by Public Policy Polling that showed Snowe would lose 59%-31% to a generic Republican challenger in a primary. For some reason, they think it’s a good idea to make their party more conservative, not less. We just don’t understand it. (hat tip Andrew Sullivan) • source

Politics: Lou Dobbs: The Last of the Mohicans on CNN; peace out brah

  • Who didn’t see this coming? Our boy Lou is like the DJ playing heavy metal on the smooth jazz station – he doesn’t fit CNN to the point that people regularly complain about it. As he notes, though, this will be sad – he was the last of original anchors on the network. Considering the open-ended way he spoke of leaving, we hope he does something completely left-field. Like run for president in 2010. Whaddya mean there isn’t a presidential election in 2010? As for CNN, they plan to announce a replacement tomorrow morning.

Politics: Conservatives turn Florida into new Republican party battleground

  • The only question now is what kind of Republican will Florida send to Washington next year: a pro-growth Republican with a record of fiscal conservatism or a big-government Republican with a record of tax increases?
  • Club for Growth President Chris Chocola • Describing his group’s decision to support ex-state lawmaker Marco Rubio over former governor Charlie Crist in next year’s Senate race. (Crist has the Republican Party’s support, by the way.) With the move, they’re attempting to remove so-called RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) from office. Because this move worked out for them so well in New York’s 23rd District. • source
