Harry Shearer works in mysterious ways.

Last night020 Archives the long-time Simpsons voice actor and bassist for heavy metal band Spinal Tap tweeted a mysterious video of Fox News anchor and presidential BFF Sean Hannity.

The video in question, which, according to our diligent research has not surfaced anywhere else online, shows Hannity still on air during a cutaway segment. There, he smokes an e-cig like a Batman villain, crushes some water like a boss, adjusts his collar, and then returns to a dead-eyed stare to inject millions of Americans with unhelpful "information."

See this wild video for yourself.

We've watched this video many, many times. We've forensically surveyed it frame by frame, studied the sensual shape of his lips as they grip the e-cig, and marveled at him blowing fat clouds.

But the plot, it thickens.

Hannity himself responded last night, probably through the dense fog he made with his electronic smoking device, and said that the video was notreal.

First off, if this is a fake video, it's the best fake video we've ever seen. Second, there's no advertising here, just a hard working man enjoying a little time to himself. Third, that's definitely not a cigar.

So whom do we believe Sean? You, who have spread so very many untruths, or our own eyes?

Not that it matters (though it really does), but in the course of exhaustive research we did come across a blogspot from 2013 chronicling Sean Hannity's relationship with NJ electronic cigarettes. In a blog post, he recommends them to women, which is nice.

So all we are left with is either a HUGELY impressive fake video, or a mesmerizing aside from the hardest working man in the misinformation business. Whichever it is, we'll take it.
