Hannity Demands Presidential Transparency
A giddy Sean Hannity related the charges against Illinois' newly indicted Governor Wednesday, taking aim at President-Elect Obama and his transition team over contradictory statements issued concerning Obama's contacts with Gov. Blagojevich.
Hannity ridiculed Obama who has been touting his administration's intent on a new standard in transparency, publicizing a "Your Place At The Table" feature on his change.gov website in which thousands of comments and questions from ordinary citizens are posted publicly and reviewed by his team. Also posted are white papers and letters from industry, unions, local governments and other organizations so the public can see who is contacting the team and what they are saying.
Mocking Obama's move toward transparency with sneering cynicism, Hannity demanded the transition team immediately turn over all records relating to any and all contact with Blago, despite the fact that prosecutors already have this correspondence in hand.
It is refreshing to see Hannity at last taking a stand in favor of, even demanding transparency. He railed against corruption and despicable pay-for-play by elected officials throughout his broadcast, breaking his years long tradition of looking the other way while the Bush administration has refused to turn over records on a number of monumentally crucial issues.
