Tommy Franks Surprises Exactly Nobody
Posted by Jon Henke
While listening to the radio today, I heard Sean Hannity mentioning Tommy Franks upcoming appearance on his show to "announce his endorsement for President....stay tuned! We'll have it next!"
You know what? If a General is about to announce his endorsement at the Republican Convention, on Sean Hannity's show...I don't think there's a whole hell of a lot of suspense left.
Still, Hannity missed the catch by a few minutes. The bloggers got the announcement first, and his additional remarks seemed....well, just about right.
Q: Do you think John Kerry can fight a war on terror?
A: Well, I support George W. Bush. You know what? I know what John Kerry is against. I'm having a little trouble figuring out what he's for. As near as I can tell, John Kerry appears to be for winning wars, stopping terrorists, making friends and nice weather. He doesn't actually indicate how he'll accomplish them, but, by golly, he'll do it. Because he's not George W Bush.
Captain Ed--one of the convention bloggers--makes a couple other good points, worth passing along.
- Regarding a conversation between Sean Hannity and Terry McAuliffe...

Hannity also tried to press McAuliffe for answers on these questions, all of which McAuliffe refused to answer:
* Christmas In Cambodia (several times)
* John Kerry's support for a nuclear freeze during Reagan's term
* John Kerry's vote against the death penalty for terrorists during Bush's term
Interestingly, just before the last two questions, McAuliffe had complained that Hannity wouldn't discuss Kerry's Senate record. As soon as he did, however, McAuliffe kept changing the subject back to George Bush's National Guard service.
Hypocrisy, thy name is McAuliffe...
- And on Rudy Giuliani's speech...
 One last thought was something I noticed during Giuliani's speech last night. He spent more time on John Kerry's Senate record than Kerry himself did in Boston.
