Sweet holy mother of god.

I just now, while driving home, had my local RW talk radio station on in the car. (No AAR affiliate, and I'm too cheap for XM or Sirius.)

Sean (Fred Flintstone-Head) Hannity had Ken (it's raining men) Mehlman on his show, and Sean was actually grilling him about the Dubai port deal. Kenny was trying to spin it as a no big deal thing, and Hannity was actually pressing him on it!

Hannity: "Does the UAE recognize Israel?"
Mehlman: "No, and bla bla deplorable-cakes bla bla that being said, bla bla bla Ally-in-the-war-on-terror-cakes, bla bla."
Hannity: "But doesn't the fact that the government doesn't recognize Israel indicate that the Islamic extremists have some influence over the Government?"
Mehlman: "Blather blather blather Ally-in-the-war-on-terror-cakes"
Hannity: "But this is a government-owned corporation, and the government is beholden to Islamic extremists"
Mehlman: "Yada yada not government owned like AMTRACK!!! But a public-private partnership yada yada bla bla"
Hannity: "I have to take issue with that - it IS government owned! And it's a government that doesn't recognize Israel."

I nearly drove off the road.

Now don't get me wrong - Sean Hannity is now and forever shall be a complete and utter asshat in my book. But to hear him actually disagreeing publicly with Kenny-boy Mehlman indicates that this issue has the potential to absolutely fracture the Republican Party. The Freepy-headed Hannitoids must be lighting up his phone lines and his e-mail to get him to split with the wishes of his Corporate Christofascist masters so publicly.

Brought a smile to my lips and a tear of joy to my eye just imagining the possibilities.
