Kyrsten Sinema--Nitwit Extraordinare

On my lunch break, I listened to Sean Hannity engage in a hilarious verbal smackdown with Krysten Sinema, a representative from the Arizona legislature.

She sent out a press release saying he broke the law when he crossed the fence at the Arizona/Mexico border during his show last week. The problem is she failed to get all the facts about this case before she sent out the press release. Sean Hannity was told by the Border Patrol that there was a 3 foot zone beyond the fence that is still considered America. Had he gone beyond that 3 foot zone, he would have been in violation of the law, but he didn't.

Since she was wrong, Hannity (rightly so) demanded an apology from her but she refused. He had her back-peddling and tripping over her words from the first question. Eventually, she hung up before the interview was over because she was so ticked off (and, I imagine, because she knew she was dead wrong). Classic radio entertainment!

What's funny to me about this is I have no doubt in my mind that she sent that press release to get her name out there in the national spotlight. It worked. However, I'm not sure she got the attention she really wanted.

I love listening to desperate legislators make fools of themselves all in the name of free publicity. It's more entertaining than reality television! :)
