Vanity, Met Hannity, passed on a burned CD Russert-Kerry warcrimes interview!

I met Sean Hannity in Wichita today. In person he is actually a very cool guy. He rarely repeated himself, gave a funny, pointed, and highly political speech, and of course, signed books.

I got both of mine signed. But the point of this thread is - The NBC Meet the Press Tim Russert interview that was posted a couple of days ago, that someone had found in his old stockpile of tapes from May 2001.

In this interview, Russert plays an audio clip from the April 17, 1971 congressional hearings in which Kerry admits to warcrimes. And then asks Kerry about it.

Supposedly this is the interview that NBC has been sitting on since candidacy.

In the thread, people were downloading it, gasping at it, and insisting this must make it into the news somehow. I managed to grab it as well, after a bit the link went dead due to excessive bandwidth usage.

I have it posted on my site now, given to select friends, but have not publically released the link for the same reasons. However, I WANTED this to get out.

And it came to me. I was meeting Hannity soon [today]. I burned the interview to a CD-R disc. I wrote out on the sleeve what the interview was, where to get it on my site in case the disc is scratched or broken, and my email for further contact info (never know).

When I got up in the booksigning line to meet Sean, he looked down and started to sign my book as I held out the CD jacket to him and said, "Sean, this is serious. This is an NBC Meet the Press interview with Kerry. Russert plays clips of him admitting to warcrimes, and then asks Kerry about it."

Sean took the disc, looked at it, and looked at me with a stern and serious look. After a short pause he asked, "The old one?"

I wasn't quite sure what he meant by that, so I said, "Its supposedly from May of 2001."

Another short pause, he took the disk and gave it to Sweet Baby James, then pointed his pen at him and said quickly, "Save that! Mark it down as Kerry on Meet the Press."

Sean finished signing my book and gave it back to me, I said, "Just doing what I can to bring him down."

He looked back and said sincerely, "Thank you. This is what we are trying to do."

Now one can only hope that Sean can get this confirmed, approved, and aired. It may, it may take a while, or it may never, I don't know.

But it may be a critical key to bringing Kerry down.

Sean should be able to play the audio, if he edits out Timmy, reading those portions and questions himself.

OK, thanks.

Way to go !!!!!!!!!

Thank you for doing this. Pres. Bush needs so much help because ALL TV media, except for Sean and Brit Hume are going to do everything they can to win Kerry the presidency. The scarey thing is that they are not even trying to hide it.

I believe I read somewhere that Kerry the young anti-war, pro-Viet Cong activist was on Meet The Press way back when. That may be what Sean was refering to when he asked, "The old one?"

[Crazieman]

If that is the case, then we have more hunting to do.

Vanity part 2 - Sorry about all of the grammatical errors. I work nights, didn't get to sleep after work last night, and was up for Sean, naturally. I've been up since 11AM CDT Tuesday. :/

That is great FReeping work. Not bad for a crazy man. :)

Excellent work, crazieman....hope he can verify its authenticity so he can air it and the public hears this. I, myself, haven't heard it or seen the thread to which you refer...but sounds critical that the public know all about this. We all want to bring Kerry dead, and how much sweeter than by his own deeds and words.

I believe I read somewhere that Kerry the young anti-war, pro-Viet Cong activist was on Meet The Press way back when The above link in #22 is dated 1971 and I believe that's the 'old one' Sean referred to.
