Hannity Uses Radio Show For Campaign Fundraising

[LTR]

Jeanine Pirro visited the no-neck midget's show today to discuss how wrong it is for Hillary Clinton not to announce that she is running in 2008 before the NY Senate Election. Pirro and Hannity had a nice little Clinton bashing chat which evolved into Hannity openly asking for campaign contributions for Pirro's campaign. 9/19/05

(snip)

Then Hannity praising Pirro asked his audience to contribute to Pirro's campaign. Hannity made sure everyone heard her web address and asked Pirro to spell her name for the listeners. Pirro didn't join Hannity in soliciting contributions but she expressed thanks and spelled her name and repeated her web address for listeners.

comment: The brief scenario seemed planned and Hannity most likely made sure he was covered by asking "What's the maximum I can give?" It seems like he and Pirro were pretty close to breaking campaign or FCC regulations and there is no doubt that there are some serious ethical ramifications connected with this kind of behavior.

The author wonders how much the wingnuts would freak out if say, AAR started fundraising for Hillary Clinton.

1. Uh, uh..........

the same rules do not apply to these vastly different cases. Pirro (who has a snowball's chance in hell of beating Hill) is a Republican. Clinton is a Democrat. I'm sure that the differences are cyrstal clear to you now and there won't be any more silly posts like this in the future. Thanks for your time. ;)
