He never seemed to believe the crap he spouted.

Wonder where he'll pop up next. Actually, no I don't.

Kirsten Powers is a lot easier on the eyes than Alan Colmes... Thank God for the "mute" button.

He should have been fired as soon as he posted that crap about Trig!

re: #1 debutaunt

He never seemed to believe the crap he spouted.

At least the silence from the left now will be because no one is there.

Anybody but Giraldo

As much as I detest Alan's views - this is probably not a good move.

Don't think I'll be watching. Never really liked Hannity all that much anyway.

Hannity will not survive a new Fairness Doctrine without Colmes.

Not that I ever watched anyway...

Now that the election cycle is over, I don't even watch. I doubt I could take that much Hannity.

I have no beef putting Kirsten Powers on. Once they put her through the Fox Babe Transformation Machine, she'll be hot (she needs to get some sun).

As long as it's not that annoying Ellis Henican or, God help us, James Gargoyle.

re: #9 FurryOldGuyJeans

Hannity will not survive a new Fairness Doctrine without Colmes.

Doesn't that really only apply to radio?

My preference would be a left field oddball like Kinky Friedman

They could Call the Show Hannity & Insanity

Skeletor needs to go storm Castle Greyskull.

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!. Who is going to take over for Allen I wonder. What's that cute little blond's name, oh yeah Kirsten Powers?

Image: Kirsten_Powers.jpg

Powers subbed for Colmes and was good. She is smart, a FOX employee and already blonde. I vote for Powers over say... Bob Beckel.

There is one obvious choice. Let me lay it out for ya. His wife is gonna get a keen new job. He is not going to be allowed to take money from certain people. He is going to have to have his speeches vetted and he ain't gonna like that. With his wife out of the country alot, he can meet alot of pretty young TV type ladies. Need I go on?

Colmes is probably positioning himself for a play into the "Fairness Doctrine" on the radio. I know he already has a show, but probably wants to be able to offer himself up as an opposition to RUsh, Oreilly, MIller, and Hannity.
Just thinning!

re: #9 FurryOldGuyJeans

Hannity will not survive a new Fairness Doctrine without Colmes.

Oh, fuck the Fairness Doctrine.

I don't think it'll pass a challenge at the USSC with the present composition so, if CBBHO is gonna' try to pervert the First Amendment, he better do it after two justices have been replaced. Now, if we can just get them all to stay until 2012...

Chris Matthews!

An hour of Hannity is too much.

If they go with Kirsten Powers, then they should also replace Hannity with Megyn Kelly, too. Hannity would get a bad wrap on beating up a girl otherwise.

I agree, and I'll point out that I've noticed that since she became a Fox employee she really turned down her moonbattery. She actually seems a little fair and balanced to me now.

James Carville, Olberman, or Chris Matthews would all be hilarious across from Hannity.

re: #12 Ford_Prefect

TV was included in the original FD, but radio was the sole beneficiary of the repeal since radio is a cheaper to produce and broadcast medium. I expect the new FD will cover ALL media, including the internet. We could soon be seeing Chinese-style 'net filtering to ensure better content.

no to kristen powers. it is almost impossible for a man to win an argument with attractive women.

one of the snarling she beasts from the view would be another matter.

re: #1 debutaunt

Having heard him when he had a obscure late night radio talk show in NYC many years ago, I assure you that as bad as he has been on FOX, you have no idea what sort of Leftist and even further out crazy crap he believes.

Don't let the screen door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya, Skeletor! It's been real and it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun...

(Good riddance to bad rubbish; I used to say "F*ck you, Skeletor." every time his homely mug showed up on the screen after he posted that trash about Palin's child. Well, not every time, sometimes my kids were in the room and Dad has to set an example.)

I suspect that there will be a surplus of eye bleach on the market once he does his final show. Doubtful that this will make me watch more Hannity, as there is only so much of him that I can take, too. For now, I'm not even watching FNC since me & the better half are burned to a crisp from all the news leading up to the election. And I still think that the press/media is the enemy and they have a beachhead even in FNC.

re: #45 DeafDog

Yep.

Heh, heh. Kinky Friedman lives near my town, and I run into him every once in awhile. He's actually a pretty good guy, and yep, his black outfit, hat, and duster are about all he ever wears.

Loves animals. He was sitting at the table next to us one night at a restaurant and asked me how many we have. When I told him we had three dogs and four cats - and they all slept on the bed - he said I'd just gotten my ticket to heaven punched.

(Or something like that.)

Susan Estrich sounds like she gargles with razor blades and swallows gravel just for fun. And she sounds like she half in the bag most of the time.

re: #45 DeafDog

She's a good reason to watch FNC, isn't she!

Anybody know what her background is (I know she's an attorney)?

First, she was Megan Kendall, then Megan Kelly, THEN she got married and her name didn't change. I can imagine how that happened, but does anyone know?

re: #56 FurryOldGuyJeans

+DING! I just happen to concur. ;)

Thank you, sir. I just thought he spouted the same talking points as Colmes, just from the Right.

Would help even more if they got rid of that eejit Hannity as well.

OK, I'd watch it with Hannity vs. Olberman, but just to watch Olberman's head split from the conniption he'd be having on-air.

The problem is that there are just so few entertaining liberals out there.

they are angry, boring, one-dimensional people, and that makes for bad ratings.

So the choices are kind of limited, if you want to preserve high ratings

The major "conservative" commentators that FNC has, Hannity, O'Reilly, and now Huckabee (*BARF*), are such blowhards it is no wonder the Left thinks all Conservatives are horses' asses.

re: #74 SFGoth

Ugh, Sean Hannity, the Katie Couric of the Right. Kinky Friedman v. Ted Nugent!

That would be the most entertaining show on TV! Hannity just isn't entertaining.

I can't stand shows that allow people to talk over each other. Taser guns should be used.

I can not honestly say that I will not miss Colmes. I haven't been able to watch that show in quite some time because of his drivel. Occasionally Hannity makes a great point but he can really be a pompous ass sometimes.

That being said both of his books are excellent.

re: #55 turn

Please, please no.

It would be the most awkward hour on television.

re: Fairness doctrine imposed as "localism".

Seems to me that would apply to broadcast TV, as well as radio. If they insist that a certain percentage of daily programming must be locally originated, what does that mean for all of the national broadcasters? (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc..) No more nation-wide soaps, sitcoms, comedy, news (oops, repeated myself.)

As far as Fox is concerned, when I have been watching lately, they have been slowly sliding to the left. I think they will eliminate Hannity when given the chance, and colmes leaving would be a perfect excuse.

A guy brings a well mannered parrot home from the pet shop.
Immediately the bird gets rude & profane. It continues day after day & finally the guy has enough, grabs the parrot & tosses him into the freezer.
The bird squawks for about a minute & then stops.
The guy gets concerned opens the freezer & the bird hops out on his arm and says, "Sir I fear that my language & overall deportment have been poor. I can assure you that going forward , you will get better from me"
The guy is impressed. The parrot then says,"Sir, if I might ask, what exactly did the turkey do?"

Actually, I would love to see Klinton on that show, but fat chance of that. The man doesn't need a "job". He makes a ton just being Bill Clinton.

Good radio/tv shows of this ilk need someone to play a foil.

Colmes leaving means Hannity by himself, which means he's basically doing his radio show all the time. Boring.

KP is the pretty choice. Carville is the intriguing choice. Kinky Friedman is the "out there" choice.

My personal preference? Al Franken.

He's provide countless hours of entertainment, and the added benefit of not being in the US Senate.

What FNN really needs is a new Britt Hume and a new Charles Krauthammer. (Charles is still there and doing fine, but they need to groom new talent, who is going to be the C. K.?)

I'm not a fan of Greta vanS subject matter most nights either. I had much sympathy for the Holloway Family and the missing British little girl, but enough.

Sometimes there are people who I disagree with, who are much smarter than I, (yes, I am right anyway) I will not enter into debates with them.

Neither one of us are going to budge, but he/she'll sound better not budging. I don't give them the pleasure. Hitch'd kill Hannity.

(No, I got them - those Olsen boys - they're a hoot.)

Carville? Is he being considered? I'd love that.

OT: Doonesbury comic strip.

I despise Gary Trudeau. His selective ridicule of public figures is as irrationally ultra-partisan as could be possible. Can't lay off Sarah Palin, can't help himself, but never wrote one unkind word about Joe "FDR went on television in 1929 to reassure the nation" Biden. He portrayed soliders in Iraq as 100% in favor of Obama, as he would wish them to be, not as 3:1 in favor of McCain, as they really were.

Trudeau is the Establishment. He always has been. The smug, smirking little POS has always known that he will be provided for, that he can always get his ticket punched without a problem. His real problem with Palin, or with US soldiers, is that in his world they are peasants.

I don't like Hannity at times, but on the other hand I do have to give him credit on being willing to go in and pound hard issues like Wright and Ayers incessantly.

They should get a Hollywood actor/activist. See how they do in a debate without their publicist's press releases in front of them. Maybe get Sean Penn or Janine Garafolo, if they can sober up enough to make it to the studio 5x a week.

HuffPo: We've been liberated!
Why America Feels Like it's Been Ruled by a Foreign Occupier

As Obama takes over the wreckage this country is in, one can't help but feel like something alien to America has been controlling it these past eight years. The wave of emotion that has erupted with the election of Barack Obama reminds me of the Allied victory in France in WWII. After a long foreign occupation in which foreign German interests occupied the agenda of France, French governance would once again be representing the concerns of it's populace. That hope seems to pervade America after it's long neocons occupation.

re: #156 Wm T Sherman

OT: Doonesbury comic strip.

I despise Gary Trudeau. His selective ridicule of public figures is as irrationally ultra-partisan as could be possible. Can't lay off Sarah Palin, can't help himself, but never wrote one unkind word about Joe "FDR went on television in 1929 to reassure the nation" Biden. He portrayed soliders in Iraq as 100% in favor of Obama, as he would wish them to be, not as 3:1 in favor of McCain, as they really were.

Trudeau is the Establishment. He always has been. The smug, smirking little POS has always known that he will be provided for, that he can always get his ticket punched without a problem. His real problem with Palin, or with US soldiers, is that in his world they are peasants.

Gary Who?
Oh, yeah. That guy who I though was funny back in college until I realized he was really stupid.

UK orders 10,000 Taser guns to arm police

But Amnesty International UK described them as "potentially lethal electrical weapons" that deliver "50,000 volts of electricity into a person's body. The result is excruciatingly painful, causing a person to fall to the ground and, at times, lose control of their bodily functions."

[snip]

But, he added: "Tasers are potentially lethal weapons which are already linked to numerous deaths in North America and that's why wide deployment without adequate training is a dangerous step too far for British policing."

Quite frankly Hannity has always been 3-4 days behind the blogs and generally badly informed about whatever issue he's pontificating on. What's worse is that guest often run rings around Hannity because he's badly informed and unable to call them to account.

So the idea that I'd be enthused about 5 straight days of nonstop of Hannity is an opium den illusion.

I'll continue doing what I've done over the past several years in self-defense. I'll ignore Hannity as long as possible.

Capacity crowd turns out for 'best ever' CAIR annual banquet

More than 700 people turned out on Sunday in Arlington, Va., for the 14th annual fundraising banquet of the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

The sold-out event, which organizers called the "best ever" annual dinner for the Islamic civil rights and advocacy group, exceeded its fundraising goal. Demand for tickets was so great that a number of people had to be turned away or given standing-room-only entry. (Recent CAIR dinners at chapters around the nation have been similarly successful.)

At the banquet, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad called on the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama to restore "the rule of law" that has been eroded in the past eight years and to form a new government that is inclusive of all faiths.

"The success of this year's dinner demonstrates both the support CAIR has in the community and the determination of American Muslims to make their voices heard despite efforts to block them from full participation in the political process and from fully exercising their rights as citizens," said Awad. "This was our best ever banquet in terms of the level of support and enthusiasm for continuing CAIR's efforts to defend the civil and religious rights of fellow Americans."

He told dinner attendees that the "politics of fear" failed to distract American voters from the real issues and also failed to discourage American Muslim voters from going to the polls in record numbers. He cited the distribution of the anti-Muslim propaganda film "Obsession" to 28 million households in swing states nationwide just prior to the November election.

Lets go moonbat all the way. Many states have already abandoned the idea of chasing suspects and must break off pursuit. Let's extend this concept. If the suspect resists? Let them go. If the suspect even acts like he will resist, let them go. The problem of accidental deaths and police brutality magically disappears and we will live in a kinder gentler society, right? ;-)>
