My impression was that Morris was bursting with praise he wanted to lavish on Palin, and he wanted to be the first to say she was the new Ronald Reagan, and than Colmes (1) interrupted his solioguy, and (2) interrupted him to start babbling from his DNC talking points about whether 142,000 troops was close enough to 135,000 troops to make it “not true” that Iraq is at pre-surge levels. Etc.
You don’t interrupt a man like Morris who thinks he has something historic to say.
I'd feel sorry for Colmes except he has only one facial expression, which is creepy.
