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.

SWEEEEEETTT!!!

Darn you beat me to it!

[ladyinred]

Oh good for you! Sean said today he may be heading to Fresno on his tour this time. Hopefully we Fresno Freepers can all be there to see him!

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Hear that on the air as I headed home from work. Looked it up on his website but was unable to find the date connected with Fresno.

I hope that it isn't on the same day that he is in SF. I was hoping for the first week in April when school is out for Easter break. I wanna be there. I just bought his book at Costco and started it last night.

LIR how are you?

[Mama_Bear]

Hopefully we Fresno Freepers can all be there to see him!

Hi LIR. Wouldn't that be great?! If he does come to Fresno, I'll sure try to be there.

Good job, crazieman!

Look at this post: This doesn't have Russert on it,but I would guess it is the footage he played and asked Kerry about.

Thanks for the ping!

[Old Sarge]

I'm impressed!

Hannity might've just used the disk as skeet later, but he had it saved, in front of witnesses, with the apparent intent on researching it.

PING us all, if he ever starts using the data.

[nutmeg]

You're welcome, Alamo-Girl! Hope this gets some air time soon...

[baseballmom]

Thanks, you're right, GW needs us all to help make sure he gets re-elected.

PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR QUICK THINKING AND THOUGHTFULNESS.

WONDERFUL WORK.

PLEASE keep us posted!

[Quix]

PERHAPS we need to up our prayers for HIS safety along with Bush's!

[pollywog]

Great. Isn't Sean WONDERFUL? We saw him at the Nixon Library several weeks ago. He was just as humble and grand in person as I thought he would be. I walked up to him during a break,( we were able to take photos, etc and there was a lot of freedom in the room)....and said " Hey Handsome, got a smile for a old lady?"LOL!! I am 62 years old. He gave me this sweet smile....

[LibertyLight]

FANTASTIC! BRAVO!

[secretagent]

Good work - both of you.

IT, does Hannity know of wintersoldier.com? He keeps returning to this. Also Laura Ingraham plays the tape segment of the really gruesome atrocities that Kerry listed in 4/71, so she sees the importance. She should know about your site.

[Interesting Times]

I don't know. Judging from yesterday's report, somebody at Fox News is tracking WinterSoldier.com, but I'm not sure about Hannity or Laura I.

You're welcome to drop them a line, of course...
