A Trifecta of Wingnuttery: Kristol, Hannity, Novak

Apparently, the far right wing was having a contest yesterday to see who could forward the most preposterous claim with a straight face.  You be the judge as to who won the much coveted "Wanker of the Day" award:

First up, Sean Hannity of Fox News: 

Last night, Fox’s Hannity & Colmes hosted John Ziegler, author of a push poll attempting to prove that voters who supported Barack Obama were misinformed. Hannity used Ziegler’s study to complain that Obama supporters didn’t know about “really significant issues” like Bill Ayers and Obama’s views on coal. He insisted that only those who watched Fox News understood the real issues:

HANNITY: If you don’t listen to talk radio, if you don’t watch the FOX News Channel, you’re not anywhere nearly as informed as people that are just hearing the bumper stickers, the slogans, the snippets of the commercials of the media. So, journalism died in 2008, and it influenced a lot of people on the way out.

Not to be left out of all the lunacy, there's Robert Novak with this gem:

When asked if he would reveal Valerie Plame Wilson’s secret CIA identity if he could go back and do it all over again, Novak said: I’d go full speed ahead because of the hateful and beastly way in which my left-wing critics in the press and Congress tried to make a political affair out of it and tried to ruin me. My response now is this: The hell with you. They didn’t ruin me. I have my faith, my family, and a good life. A lot of people love me — or like me. So they failed. I would do the same thing over again because I don’t think I hurt Valerie Plame whatsoever.

But this may have been the biggest whopper of the day and from the biggest wingnut of all: William Kristol

As Think Progress reported, last night in New York, ABC News correspondent John Donovan moderated a debate between the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol, former Bush aide Karl Rove, Slate editor Jacob Weisberg and Guardian columnist Sir Simon Jenkins. The most contentious part of the debate came during discussion over the invasion of Iraq, in which Kristol proclaimed outright that the United States prevaled in Iraq:

“We’ve won the war,” Mr. Kristol said emphatically.

Kristol did not say if this meant that all U.S. troops could now come home.  Now, who says the far right has no sense of humor??
