If Quist was savvy, he would have a commercial ready with everything but the CBO budget score already made. As soon as it drops, he starts airing it over Montana tonight and tomorrow for his special election.

The huge announcement is that Sean Hannity is right as always, Seth Rich was murdered and he has proof, liberals are all evil, and he's staying at Fox News forever despite what the Liberals wanted to do! Now lets talk to Kim Dot Com about his proof about the story his own network retracted, coming to us via satellite because he's yet another wanted criminal Sean Hannity holds up as a great person and source! Check out my ratings spike!

I think it was also getting a lot of attention from the rest of media once Newt started parroting the story and crediting Fox News for it. So now they had CNN and MSNBC talking about how Newt was spreading a debunked conspiracy theory that he sources Fox News for. So that might have put some pressure on them to stop things.

If that's the case Hannity doubling down tonight could cause him real problems.

Is Hannity this crazy or this craven?

Al Franken tells an anecdote in his book Lies and the Lying Liars who Tell Them about the first time he met Sean Hannity. I can't quote it word for word but basically Franken is in the Green Room at Fox News in 1996 because he was a guest on The Factor, promoting his book Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot. As Franken is getting ready to leave, Hannity comes up to him and says "I don't like the title of your book because I don't believe in using ad-hominem attacks on people". Franken's response is "It's an ironic joke on how Rush uses ad-hominem all the time". Hannity, being Hannity, denies this, saying "I've never seen Rush make an ad-hominem attack, ever".

Franken brings up the infamous "White House Dog" gag of Rush's where he used a picture of Chelsea Clinton. Hannity defends this as a production error. Franken points out that it was a taped show and thus how could it be an error. Furthermore, what was the joke supposed to be if not an insult leveled at Chelsea? Rather than back down, Hannity angrily tries to steer the conversation in some other direction towards something "dishonest" that President Clinton or the Democrats were doing. Words are exchanged, things get heated, and Alan Colmes has to defuse the situation (which Hannity later described as Franken being "escorted out by Fox News security" even though it was just Colmes stepping in between them).

Think about now, over 20 years later, how Hannity is acting. It's exactly the same as in that story. Hannity does not have it in him to admit he's wrong, nor does he have it in him to graciously admit he made a mistake and back down. Rather than admit he was lying through his teeth about the Seth Rich thing, or even downplaying the dishonesty as the rest of FNC is doing, he's now spinning it into a massive conspiracy against himself by the "Liberal Media". After all, how can Sean Hannity ever be wrong?

So to answer your question, yes he is that crazy and craven. For over 2 decades he used that tactic to make himself look good, and he hasn't figured out yet that it isn't going to work anymore. The harder people refuse to buy into his bullshit, the harder he tries to push it because it's all he knows how to do. But the persecution complex and ravings of a conspiracy against him don't work when the GOP is fully in power and there's an actual conspiracy being unearthed right now.

Hannity was never some clever grifter. He was a low level, failure of a radio host who couldn't hold a job because he was terrible and had abhorrent views when Roger Ailes picked him out of obscurity and gave him a TV show. He's a true believer who got lucky.

I think it's a lot simpler than that - a lot of leftists spent so much time saying that calling out Russia was "red-baiting" and that the only reason Hillary Clinton lost was because of insufficient leftness that the proof of Russian interference deflates their claims. They don't WANT the Russia thing to be true.

I don't think it's a lot of leftists. It's just a small cabal of really bad ones. But yeah it's about not wanting democrats to win the wrong way. And also the legitimate fear they'll be called out for kneecapping Clinton when she went hard on this during the campaign. The Jimmy Dores of the world see the writing on the wall here, but they're still clinging to the hope this is all a deep state conspiracy or a delusion of the bad bad neoliberal democrats.
