Because nothing says "Great American Patriot" like hoping your country goes bankrupt

Sean Hannity likes to portray himself as a patriotic American. But what does that even MEAN to him? Based on what we've seen, patriotism means waving the flag and selling books. What it DOESN'T mean to him is wanting his country to do well. No, it means that the country can go down the crapper for all he cares -- as long as his side has all the power:

Fox News host Sean Hannity talked with former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle last night about his new book, “Getting It Done,” which chronicles Congress’s path to passing health care reform. Hannity of course attacked the new law throughout the interview with well-worn GOP talking points. But in a Rush Limbaugh-esque moment, the Fox News host actually said he hopes that the new reform law bankrupts the country — just so he can say he was right about it:

HANNITY: Seems to me like we’re headed for bankruptcy in this bill. That’s my prediction 40 years down the line. So we’ll see who’s right.

DASCHLE: We’ll wager a bet, Sean.

HANNITY: All right. I hope I’m right just for the sake of principle.

Watch it:

THAT'S America, buddy!
