Liberal talk show host Alan Colmes sunk to new a new low when he said on Fox News that former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum took his deceased baby home to 'play with it.'
Noting that the GOP has "speed-dated" every other candidate, Colmes said voters should "get a load" of what he called the "crazy things" Santorum has said and done.
"Like taking his two-hour old baby who died right after childbirth home and played with it for a couple hours so his other children would know it was real, I mean..."
At this point, Fox News contributor Rich Lowry tore into Colmes, calling his statement a "cheap shot."
Lowry lambasted Colmes for "mocking" the death of Santorum's child and said it was beneath the liberal talker, sometimes known as "Skeletor" among some conservatives

Won’t lie...the comment made me chuckle as bad as admitting it is.
How would Cutie pie act if it were Obama instead of Santorum? Would Cutie pie Still have a job if this were Obamas loss he was mocking instead of Santorums?
INSENSITIVE!? It wasn’t just insensitive, it was abominably wicked and uncalled for.
Go eat a cricket, Alan.
Alan Colmes is an ignorant, contemptible Leftist bigot who should be fired forthwith, ‘apology’ or no. Attacking a politician’s family based on their respect for the loss of loved ones is completely unacceptable.
Colmes was disgusting. He is always disgusting, but this is the worst I have ever seen him get.
He should have already been fired, but I doubt that he will be. Fox news, now Faux news, has died. They have completely ruined their brand. I don’t see them as a competent trustworthy source of news anymore.
At best, Fox is lib lite. Fox doesn’t give a damn about the future of our country, only ratings and selling books.
Yes, Colmes was disgusting, but it is Fox that pays him to say the crap he says.
Fox news can go straight to hell.
Once this election is over, I will not watch Fox news again.
To answer your second question, Colmes would be fired or placed on an “indefinite suspension” before the next commercial break.
Your tagline applies to our congresscritters — all of them spineless.
...and you know this is true, because....?

Again, grief causes people to do ‘weird’ things.
Colmes has always been a skinny sick creature. Never understood how Hannity could stand to be in the same room with him. He oozes creeps.
This one really takes the cake. Its disgusting as hell.
With this remark Colmes has shown he isn’t even fit to be an organ donor.
I'm sure MSLSD would open their arms wide and welcome the POS into their communist fold.
They took their dead child home to be with its’ family. Perhaps Colmes thinks they should have left it on an examining table or the hospital dumpster.
Alan Colmes might just as well be calling President Lincoln and his wife twisted ghoul nutcases for opening the casket of their son for months after his death and freeing Democrats’ slaves.
as the mom of two previous “baked potatoes” who survived..I don’t find it strange at all. ALL life is sacred and a gift from God.
