Sean Hannity Attacked for Calling Sarah Palin “Governor”
It’s sometimes tempting to think that, with all the petty and stupid attacks against conservatives out there, we have to have seen it all. But if there’s one lesson you should take to heart about the Left, it’s this: Never say never. It can always get worse.
Today’s example is a recent post by True/Slant’s Austin Considine, who complains that Sean Hannity, while discussing last night’s State of the Union Address, had the idiotic, inexcusable, unmitigated gall to…refer to Governor Sarah Palin as, um, “Governor.”
Let’s get something straight. That’s to say, let’s underscore the obvious: Sarah Palin is not a governor. She’s not even a “governor” in ironi-quotes, which is what one might have called her during and after the 2008 presidential campaign. In fact, she doesn’t hold any form of public office whatsoever. The governorship she used to have was abandoned before she finished her term. Experts are still deciphering her Twitter tweets to figure out exactly why she left.
You had to feel sorry for the next guest, Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, who is actually a really real governor and commanded much less respect from Hannity, who couldn’t refrain from interrupting him every 30 seconds.
Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you no shame, Mr. Hannity? I can’t bear to watch any more…
