Below is part of a transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," Fox TV news from August 27, 2008.
ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: We welcome Governor Michael Dukakis. Sir, thank you so much for being here.
When you sit here and see these speeches, when you were the nominee at one time, and you stood on that stage, what does that do for you? What does it do to you?
MICHAEL DUKAKIS, FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR: Well, I thought the Clinton speech was a great speech, and it was considerably better than the one he made when he nominated me in Atlanta. You know, when — when Bill Clinton announced for president in the fall of 1991, he went on Johnny Carson, and Carson said, "Why are you running for president?"
And he said, "Because I want to finish my speech for Dukakis."
HANNITY: Does John McCain have integrity?
DUKAKIS: Well, he had integrity.
HANNITY: He's lost integrity?
DUKAKIS: Unfortunately, he's lost his integrity, and it's one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
Here's a guy that was trashed by George Bush and that guy that you just had here in the year 2000. It was despicable,.
HANNITY: Let me ask you this question.
DUKAKIS: Let me finish.
HANNITY: Go ahead.
DUKAKIS: And now he's hired another Karl Rove acolyte to run his campaign. It's really sad to see a guy like McCain...
HANNITY: It's very interesting, because if that is your standard of integrity, if we look issue by issue, starting with Iraq: meeting with rogue dictators. Iran is now a grave threat. It was a tiny country, not a serious threat.
(So Dukakis questions if John McCain has integrity but he thinks Clinton was great. Give me a break. Read the whole transcript right here.)
