Alan Colmes leaving Hannity and Colmes

Colmes is splitting from H&C.

Two questions:

  1. Will anybody notice he’s gone?
  2. What liberal will they find who’s timid and ineffectual enough to fill Alan’s shoes?
  1. Do Sean Hannity’s fans notice anything?
  2. Maybe Joe Lieberman?

Stewart and Colbert will get some jokes out of it, which is all Hannity and Colmes was ever good for, anyway.

No shit, my first thought was that I was shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that he was still *on *the show.

Possibly they will actually choose a liberal with a functioning pair of balls. Not likely, I know.

Would a pair of combs on a chair next to Hannity count?

They’d probably offer stronger pushback…

My Colmes impression:

Look, clearly the Democrats are wrong here, but haven’t Republicans also done bad thing things like this easily knocked down, inapt strawman?

My Colmes impression:

I hear they are considering Al Franken…

With any luck, he’s going to be kind of busy the next 6 years.

The Washington Generals must have offered him a spot on their roster.

So, it’s like every Pit thread ever started about Democrats? Except without the first part.

Is that a joke (if it were I guess it would be because of the way Franken kind of beat up on Colmes in Lies and the lying liars or did you really hear this?

If the latter, where?

This was a lethal zinger, and deserves appreciation.

:slight_smile:

This is one indicator that the US is having a new Administration.

“…and that was the last anyone ever heard from Alan Colmes.”

How long before they pull the plug on his ‘ratings basement’ radio show?

Word is they’ll replace Colmes with Howdy Doody. Not only do they look alike Howdy also has a hand stuck up his ass.

I laughed at the first comment here:

If Franken is hired, he may insist they title the show “Hannity without Colmes.”
