Conservative radio hosts Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh on
Tuesday each took to the airwaves to slam Vice President Joe Biden for calling
the 9/11 anniversary a “bittersweet moment” at a Flight 93 memorial event.
Earlier on Tuesday, Biden addressed a crowd at the United
Airlines Flight 93 memorial and said it was a “genuine honor” to be there.
“But like all of the families, we wish we weren’t here. We
wish we didn’t have to be here. We wish we didn’t have to commemorate any of
this. And it’s a bittersweet moment for the entire nation, for all of the
country, but particularly for those family members gathered here today,” Biden
said in Shanksville, Pa.
With the “bittersweet” remark, Hannity said that the “vice
president buffoon is at it again.”
“Does he even know what the word bittersweet means? What on
earth is bittersweet about what happened on 9/11? Explain the sweet part, Mr.
Vice President,” Hannity said.
“What happened on 9/11 was unmitigated evil,” he added after
playing a clip from Biden’s 9/11 speech. “I don’t see describing it
bittersweet. It either means you’re just callous or you’re just ignorant beyond
belief and don’t know the meaning of what the term bittersweet is.”
Limbaugh, meanwhile, also told listeners he took offense at
Biden’s comment, asking, “What is bittersweet about 9/11?”
“Clint Eastwood was right. This guy is the intellect of the
Democrat Party. What is bittersweet about 9/11? … What does he think it is? With
9/11, it’s all bitter. What’s bittersweet? ‘Oh, Rush, that’s just Joe. That’s
just Joe.’ The networks will tell you, the media. ‘It’s just Joe. It’s just
Joe. His intentions, he really means well. He’s got a big heart. Really cares.’
Oh, okay. Okay. Fine,” Limbaugh said, according to a transcript on his site.
