The Obama-Mubarak-Not Mubarak-Mubarak-Not Mubarak Axis of Evil
Not that Sean Hannity isn't always incoherent, mind you, BUT, during this entire Egyptian crisis/unrest, MAN, has he ever amped it up of late. He started the week off criticizing (justifiably, actually) Mr. Biden for his saying that President Mubarak wasn't a dictator. But, instead of staying on this track that America should in fact be fostering democracy, he's started to morph off into this paranoiac Muslim extremist shtick (this, despite the fact that the uprising appears to be basically secular/totally devoid - so far - of anti-Americanism) - even going as far as to hint that maybe we should indeed be sticking with this "dictator". And, get this, it got so frigging bad the other day that Mr. Hannity's conservative guest, The National Revue's Rich Lowery, actually had to walk him back a tad - Lowery even going as far as to say that Mr. Obama was basically doing what any President would be doing (hell, folks, even Bill O'Reilly has said similar). That, me-buckos, had to have been WAY embarrassing............................................................................................................P.S. It's obvious what's going on here, right? Hannity, a flat-out mindless partisan, is psychologically incapable of giving Mr. Obama credit.....FOR ANYTHING!! And, yes, when you couple that with Mr. Beck (an even bigger frigging lunatic) whispering paranoid nothings into that mindless vessel of Sean's, this is probably the best that somebody like....

The normally middle of the road Joe Scarborough was in someways even worse. While Morning Joe agreed that Mubarak was a dictator and should go he could stop himself from constantly asking the whiny question of whether if this is how the United States should be treating a friend and ally for the last 30 years.
Yes, a world power like the United States has interests that need to taken into account when playing global politics but don't go around proclaiming we are the defender of liberty around the world one minute then get all stupid when a oppressed people finally start fighting for freedom and finally decided to kick some tin pot dictator out.
Of course the US has always really hated tyranny when someone outside our influence was practicing it.
The difference, double b, I don't think that Scarborough will blame Obama (as Hannity and Beck CLEARLY will do) if in fact things do go south (i.e., an Islamic government taking over). Hannity - he's practically drooling as we speak.
