Sean Hannity At CPAC: “If I Was Stupid Like A Liberal…”

Sean Hannity took some of his free time at CPAC today to throw red meat to the crowd in the form of insults about liberal Americans:

“Let’s say I had a bees nest at my house. If I was stupid, like a liberal, and I took a baseball bat and I knocked down the wasp nest and the bees sting me, it wouldn’t be my fault, it wouldn’t be the wasp’s fault.”

But this guy would tell you he’s ‘fair and balanced.’

He then followed up with a strange joke – “I have x-ray Fox vision and I can see some young women — you don’t even know it yet but you’re pregnant. But it’s not your fault!”

The insults start around the 7:15 mark.

NYPD Falls Victim To Ego

Today at the funeral of murdered NYPD Officer Wenjian Liu, hundreds of officers turned their backs – again – on Mayor De Blasio in protest as he eulogized Liu.

New York Police officers did the same last week at the funeral at the funeral of Officer Rafael Ramos, who was also killed alongside Officer Liu.

Sadly, these officers chose to ignore a call by Police Commissioner William Bratton to leave politics out of the funeral. Instead, they placed a public protest above the wishes of their commissioner and the family of the slain cop who specifically asked that there be NO political protests made.

Those requests were ignored today.

Members of the NYPD have been angry at the mayor for statements they have decided were “anti-police.” And so, have made these memorial services about THEMSELVES and not the fallen.

I grew up learning an often repeated mantra: “You can be right, or you can get what you want. And they are not always the same thing.”  Getting what you want is winning. Being right is ego.

There is a time and a place to make a political stand. At the funeral of your fallen brother is NOT that place.

Sir Richard Branson’s guide to getting lucky

So, after about :30 seconds of reminding you how fabulously wealthy and fabulously fabulous he is, Sir Richard Branson explains how – if you were as rich as he is – you can whoo that “special someone” you might meet on your travels.

Minus the fabulous funds, he explains the newly implemented “Seat-To-Seat Delivery” service on his airline Virgin America. You can order a drink via the control panel at your seat and send it to your “intended one.”

Because hitting on people in an enclosed space where nobody can possibly leave if they’re made to feel uncomfortable for several hours is obviously a really good idea…?

Things that make you go “hmm…”
