So after dropping three "Barack Hussein Obama" bombs at a McCain event, Cincinnati talk show host Bill Cunningham appeared on "Hannity & Colmes" to express his dismay that McCain had taken the politically necessary step of disavowing the comments.

And, clearly enjoying his 15 minutes, Cunningham then offered his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

But not before he accused Obama of being a "Manchurian Candidate."

Now Cunningham clearly doesn't care, but do mainstream conservatives really want to go down this road?

Sean Hannity defended the use of "Hussein," noting, "That is his name isn't it?"

Right, because Cunningham was just being fully descriptive.

Watch the video of Cunningham on Hannity & Colmes below:
