Hannity and Colmes split up
Politico ^ | Michael Calderone

Posted on 11/24/2008 1:46:22 PM PST by mockingbyrd

Fox News announced that after 12 years, Alan Colmes will be leaving the top-rated "Hannity & Colmes" at the end of the year. “I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network," Colmes said in a statement. "Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years.” Sean Hannity said Colmes was "a remarkable co-host," "great friend," and "skillful debate partner.” Colmes will remain a Fox commentator, and continue hosting "The Alan Colmes Show" on Fox News Radio. Also, he's developing a weekend show.

I hope the replacement isn’t Bob Beckle.

Kirsten: When she first showed up a few times on FNC, she sounded sloshed and exhibited typical lib-type symptoms.

H & C gets real good rating with Colmes who is a total jerk. Gotta believe it could do better with a personable lib instead of the undesirable Colmes.

Colmes gone?

What they ran out of voodoo dust to keep his corpse animated?

“Who gets custody of Dick Morris?”

Wow. I almost made a post I had to confess my sins for.

How bout Hannity and Olberman... Although it would most likely diverge into physical fights every night it would be entertaining...

Oh yeeeaaaah! You could get some of those Springer bouncers in there to charge onstage when things go to fist city. Lots of bleeping this and bleepin' that. Heck, he has Springer on as a guest sometimes, get him as Executive Producer and let him show them how to do it right.

Alan must have SOMETHING good going on (wink-wink).

His Wife Jocelyn is a fox!

I think Her sister is Monica Crowley!

Perhaps they could entice Olberman to join the team. They could call it “Hannity and Butt-Munch”. Just a thought.

Geraldo would add entertainment and would keep Hannity on high anxiety.

Eye candy for sure. The second thing I noticed about her is that she doesn’t have the rabid demeanor so prevalent among the lib commentators. She has a thoughtful way about her, although consistently wrong (IMO). I actually enjoy listening to her. Given that FoxNews is “fair & balanced” I hope she gets a gig counterpoint to Sean so she has more airtime.

Good riddance to lib rubbish.

Sorry that I repeated myself.

Would not be surprised that Obama snagged Alan; first to send a message to Hannity; and secondly; well. . .Alan has shown himself to be an absolutely 'unquestioning' Liberal; who will walk the plank.

That said; Alan is an honest Liberal; who truly believes in the rightness of his positions; and otherwise, is a nice person. . . and with those qualities, Alan will be hard to replace.

Hey I don’t blame Colmes. Hannity is a broken record. Heard or seen one show, heard or seen them all.

She is and looks very much like her. She seems very sweet and obviously is devoted to Alan. . .and vice-versa.
