A Swing-And-A-Miss For Hannity (with update)

Sean Hannity had this to say in response to Obama's "horses and bayonets" attack line from last night's debate:

“Some of our troops rode horses in Afghanistan and the Marines still carry bayonets. Maybe someone should tell the President how the military actually works.”

That would be a devastating comeback, Sean, except for one small problem: the President did not say that the military no longer uses horses and bayonets:



If you can't watch videos at your current location, here is what the President said to Romney last night:

"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship where we are counting ships. . . ."

Face it, Hannity -- your guy got crushed by what can only be described as a well-crafted zinger. As John Kerry said last night: "The President Sunk Mitt Romney's Battleship."
