It seems like Sean Hannity has endorsed Allen Stanford. According to an article on the Huffington Post, mention ‘Sean Hannity’ to Stanford Coins & Bullion and get a free guidebook. You know, the same Allen Stanford that is on the lam for literally robbing investors blind to the tune of $8 billion and is also being investigated for money laundering.

“Stanford Coins & Bullion, a member of the Stanford Financial Group, their name as good as gold,” Hannity intones on advertisements that regularly run on his radio show. So, Sean Hannity, “Mr. Holier than thou” was palling around with a criminal.

Stanford Coin & Bullion “is just a telemarketer boiler room-type of company that calls during dinner and tries to fleece you,” said Jon Nadler, a senior analyst at gold firm Kitco.com. Source: Huffington Post

Also feeling incredibly stupid are fellow criminal and Texan Tom DeLay, Chris Dodd, who got a sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide, and sadly, Colin Powell, all who have been beneficiaries of donations and close friendships. He also has an endorsement deal with golf superstar Vijay Singh.

The SEC charged Stanford, who is the first American to be knighted by the government of Antigua, for fraud Tuesday. Stanford has spent millions in the Caribbean island, erecting sports facilities and other community facilities. He is charged with allegedly trying to rob 50,000 clients out of $8 billion through a scheme involving high-interest-rate CDs. He founded the Stanford Super Series where Caribbean cricket teams compete against the British for a $20 million purse.

Hah, this is all too funny. Remember Rev. Jeremiah Wright? No one can say that he literally robbed his congregants to the tune of billions. Sean Hannity, you lay down with a dog, you’ll surely get up with fleas.

Colin Powell, Former Secretary Of State, Endorses Barack Obama

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has endorsed Barack Obama, essentially striking a major blow to John McCain and his campaign. While appearing on “Meet the Press,” Powell said of Barack Obama that, “he has both style and substance. I think he is a transformational figure.” “Obama displayed a steadiness. Showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well,” Powell said.

Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president. He also said he was disappointed with some of McCain’s campaign tactics, such as bringing up Obama’s ties to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers. Powell had previously said that Barack Obama “has energized a lot of people in America.” “He has energized a lot of people around the world. And so I think he is worth listening to and seeing what he stands for.” As you will remember, Powell briefly weighed his own run for the White House in the mid-1990s.

The former general, who has largely steered clear of politics since leaving the Bush administration, noted that the next president will need to work to restore America’s standing in the world. Way to go General Powell!
