Morning Vid: Colbert's 'Heavily Edited Interview' of Hannity

Jake Simpson 237 Views Mar 5, 2010
The Brooklyn District Attorney's office has exonerated ACORN from any criminal wrongdoing in the James O'Keefe pimp-prostitute scandal. According to the D.A.'s office, O'Keefe's tapes were "heavily edited" to produce the desired scandalous effect.

Enter Stephen Colbert, who turns his fire on ardent O'Keefe supporter Sean Hannity with a heavily edited tape of his own. Using past Hannity clips, the Comedy Central host creates a fake interview with the Fox News pundit, installing himself as Hannity's pimp and teaching him how to turn tricks.
