Sean Hannity, obviously flailing around for an excuse after he was outed yesterday as the third “secret” client of Michael Cohen, was chastised last night by Fox talking head Alan Dershowitz for not disclosing his personal relationship with Cohen.  Hannity retorted that he has a “right to privacy“.  Well, actually, no, you don’t, Sean.  You get on national television 5 nights a week spouting BS about everything from wild conspiracy theories about anyone not Donald Trump, and have been vigorously defending Cohen.  Also, you are a public figure and have used your status as a public figure to line your pockets with cash from your sycophants.  For once, I agree with Dershowitz that he should have disclosed his relationship to Cohen.  Not doing so simply peals another layer of the rotten onion that is Fox Noise.

Do you wanna know what’s gonna piss off Trump more than Stormy Daniels?

This.

Justice Neil Gorsuch, President Trump‘s selection last year for the Supreme Court, cast the deciding vote in a decision released Tuesday that sided with an immigrant fighting his deportation.

Gorsuch ruled with the court’s four liberal justices in favor of the immigrant, James Garcia Dimaya, who argued that his convictions on two burglary charges did not represent a violent crime.

Okay, if you’re keeping score at home, add Charlie Dent.

Last September Dent said he was not going to seek re-election but would finish his current term.

Nope.

In an interview with CNN, anchor John Berman said, “This congressman here, no fan of the president, basically saying I can’t take anymore of this. I‘m leaving earlier than I thought.”

It’s that bad.

It really is.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

This has nothing to do with politics, but …

Four baboons escaped from their outdoor enclosure at the Texas Biomedical Research Center in San Antonio.  They used a barrel to climb over a fence and took off.  One returned immediately but the three others thought it was Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and danced naked down the streets of San Antonio.

While that could be amusing for local residents, what was not amusing is that the monkeys were being chased by people in biomedical gear, something your average household member does not own.

The research center said the dystopian outfits were for “the baboon’s protection” since they can catch human diseases. Yeah, okay. I don’t suspect people should be too worried, but I’ve read Michael Creighton novels and this is how they all start.

The three amigo baboons were captured and returned to the facility unhurt, but the barrel got put in the time-out corner.

Cohen had to release the names of his clients.

#3 – Sean Hannity!

A lawyer for Cohen at the Monday hearing said that Cohen performed secret legal work for Hannity.

“We have been friends a long time. I have sought legal advice from Michael,” Hannity said in response to being revealed as Cohen’s third client, according to a Wall Street Journal reporter.

Reminder:

Cohen’s other two clients in recent years are President Donald Trump and Elliot Broidy, a Republican fundraiser. Cohen negotiated non-disclosure agreements with Trump and Broidy’s alleged mistresses.

Several people have sent me this sign for Republican candidate, Phillip Wight.

Yeah, Phillip is running for county commissioner in North Carolina.  Once the word got out that some people were upset by the sign, Phillip said …

“I have no words for that,” he said. “I’m not that guy. If you want to go in that direction, anybody who knows me knows I’m not a racist. I hate to even use that word. I don’t care about the color of your skin, I don’t care about your gender, I don’t care about your politics, or your religion.”

Really?  Well, he’s running in the Republican primary so you’d think he’s care about my politics and if he doesn’t care about my gender, he’s apt to follow me into the wrong bathroom.  And I imagine Phillip might not care about my religions, just so long it’s Christianity.

But during Mr. Wight’s 15 minutes of fame, he also wants you to know …

What he does care about, he says, is elected officials raising taxes, violating rights and bypassing the Constitution.

He said his priorities are loving God, his family and supporting the Second Amendment at all costs, but the 50-year-old small business owner and confessed Rodney Dangerfield fan also said he’s “an equal opportunity offender when it comes to jokes” and that the thought of using the slogan had crossed his mind during previous campaigns.

Y’all, I think he does care about my politics.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
