How long should I wait before Hannity apologizes to Michael Schiavo?
With the planet warming the odds of Hell freezing over grow slimmer daily.

Of course Hannity will spin this somehow or won't mention it at all but he was one of the more hysterically anti science pundits during the single mnost tasteless display in the history of television. He intimated that "the husband" was trying to kill Terry so that he could not be tried for murder. Which is true Republican logic. A man tries to kill his wife so that no one will think he killed her. Anywhoo....

FOX covered the autopsy finding and then went immediately to a Bush speech about how the Democrats are responsible for gas prices. No analysis, no mea culpa, nothing.

I don't think anyone is going to ever sue to keep Roger Ailes' feeding tube in.

3. He will say, done with it, won't dwell on it any longer, believes in the
system and then will go on to basically say, I know better than the doctor who performed the exam/autopsy.

9. Yes, I expect the old "Non-apologetic Apology" routine as well...
Ie, some sort of vague dismissal of the story which NEVER actually says "I was WRONG", but manages to work in a few "Talking Points" one last time.

Of course, we all know that the results aren't CONCLUSIVE until Dr. Catkiller-Frist reviews the video!

4. recall Hannity had a follow up show about a month ago with brother and
sister--really a bleeding heart show that night. watched about 10 minutes --they were going over the old aguments of abuse, etc etc and Hannity just shaking his head.

2. How are we responsible for gas prices?
Of course, Bush* gives me gas but that's another thing.

6. And he's not the only one
Literally dozens of RW talk show host SLANDERED Michael Schiavo up one side and down the other multiple times way back when. I'm sure the mea culpas will be announched right about the time Bush admits he decided to invade Iraq in mid 2002.

7. Hannity will apologize
just as soon as God instructs him to turn his narrow white ass around from the pearly gates and get on the express elevator down to the Richard Nixon Memorial Waiting Room.

24. I'm sorry, but you're totally wrong.
There's nothing narrow about Sean Hannity's white ass. :P

(sorry, couldn't resist).

14. Michael Schiavo should sue the shit out of those people
Talk about intentional infliction of emotional distress, not to mention unmitigated slander! The media (and any public figure who uses it as a political tool) should be held accountable when they just maliciously make shit up and hurt innocent people. They publicly accused this poor man of murder, spread horrible lies about him and made his life a living hell, all with no factual basis. They unlawfully interfered with his legal right to care for his wife as he saw fit. They committed terrible crimes against Mr. Schiavo, and he should avail himself of every civil remedy available to him, if only to make these unprincipled hacks think twice before reporting blatant bullshit instead of fact-based news reports. Make the lying bastards pay.

15. Michael who? Schiavo?
That's a funny name, isn't it? How do you pronounce that? Never heard of him or his wife Terri. No idea whatsoever what you may be talking about. Can't be bothered with that. Isn't the Michael Jackson verdict outrageous? And what's up with Hilary Clinton?

18. Maybe Someone Should Look Into Racketeering Statutes
Like the ones used to sue the Aryan Nation and some other hate groups into bankruptcy. If there was ever a case of a person wrongfully slandered, this is it...and not only to defame, but to murder.

I'm sure a good laywer, like the one Mr. Schaivo has, can tie together the many groups who operated in concert with one another in a conspiracy to defame his client. The fact someone was picked up with the "will and means" to kill Mr. Schaivo along with all the death threats, this could be quite an interesting trial.

One person who deserves to not get off on this fiasco is Gibbs, the hack lawyer for the Swindlers. He's the one who pressed those endless lawsuits that cost millions, attempted to be a witness in a case he was representing (highly unethical) and spread a lot of the lies about Mr. Schaivo on the media and a court of law. The Florida bar association should look into this goon's activities in this case and see if he violated their ethic laws.

Plus, while we're at it...let's get a peek at all those "funds" set up for Mrs. Schaivo. Let's open them books a bit and see who got what money for doing what. Could be Mr. Schaivo could be entitled to a little "pain and suffering" from that pie.

27. Updated
He couldn't stay away from it. HE switched off the "Dems are obstructionist" line to go back to it. It sounds like he got buffeted with emails demanded an apology.

21. Hannity's brand of Christianity
doesn't allow for HIM to apologize. Be humble. Or judge not, lest he be judged.
His Christianity, like his other blowhard buddies, exists only for his judgment of others. And for others to be humble unto him. And to apologize for any imagined slights to him.
These are small, petty tyrants.
They don't deserve any more of our time.

23. He is guilty of breaking at least two commandments
Bearing false witness

and he works on Saturday.

He should be executed for both under the rules of his own universe.

28. Hannity convinced Mark Fuhrman to write a book
– a one-sided Schiavo case quickie. It's due out in 2 weeks, without even the autopsy results. He only interviewed the Schindlers and their friends.

What happens to the book now?
