From Newshounds, where they watch Fox so we don’t have to (thanks!), we are presented with another hot, steaming pile of GOP hypocrisy:

In his “just wondering” voice (which is almost always accompanied by a self-serving agenda), Hannity asked, “I’m trying to understand, if John Murtha’s referring to people in Pennsylvania as racists and as rednecks, and we know what Barack Obama said about bitter Americans clinging to their guns and religion with antipathy towards those that aren’t like him. He was talking about the people in the state of Pennsylvania. I’m trying to understand, why would anybody in Pennsylvania vote for him when he said that in a, you know, in a real moment, that he didn’t think he was being recorded?”

A graphic of the state of Pennsylvania, with the number “21″ for the number of electoral votes it has, helpfully appeared on the screen, obviously at the ready beforehand.

“Well, he’s got a problem,” Rove replied. “James Carville once famously referred to Pennsylvania as Pittsburgh on the west, Philadelphia on the east and Alabama in between. I think that was his way of sort of mimicking what John Murtha said. But it’s a conservative part of the state. And then if you take the far southwestern corner, over there near Pittsburgh and the suburbs, that’s coal country and that’s the kind of people who really do cling to their guns and their faith.”

And of course, just to tie it up with a nice bow, don’t expect the liberal media — or the Democrats — to hammer Rove the way the rightwingers (and the Clinton campaign) hammered Obama.
