Sticky Fingers Hannity


Media Matters has the rundown of an alleged scam that Sean "Heil" Hannity has been running with his Freedom Alliance "charity." According to a right-wing (!) blogger, Heil Hannity's "charity" has been skimming off anywhere from 80 to 96 percent of the proceeds collected to pay for college tuition for fallen military and to assist wounded vets. The skim has been paying for private planes, luxury SUVs and other expensive perks for Heil and his wingnut posse and family.

Will the lazy mainstream media investigate the story? Don't be surprised if they take a pass: they rarely criticize powerful wingnut media stars lest they get tons of angry threats from the "morans" who follow them.
