About a million dollars…

Hot Air

At 11 pm ET tonight (06March2008), I’ll be talking with Alan Colmes on his Fox radio show. We’ll discuss the bombing story — and I have a suspicion that he’ll challenge me on my assumption this morning that it was an ant…

Ask him if He-Man is nice in person.

Wow, I had to think about that for four or five seconds. It’s almost too cruel to be funny.

Facial hair.

1) He makes the perfect “straw man” for Hannity to knock down;

2) He lets everyone know what the NY Times and Washington Post are writing, so FoxNews viewers don’t have to risk losing their dinner by reading them.

He does have a very annoying habit of interrupting guests and asking three or four loaded questions without giving them a chance to answer, then leaving Hannity five seconds to thank the guest for coming on! Colmes’ theory is that he who talks fastest wins the debate…how very French of him!

He is a liberal with a brain that functions exceedingly well,… Unlike some of you, I have no intention of allowing myself to appear to be a conservative koskiddie.

For all of you new posters, you have got to love these sarcastic posts…
No one could think of Colmes as being intelligent, except a liberal…Ha, that was a great funny post.
Didn’t you say the same thing about Geraldo?

Both are confused but Revera is more raciest.

It turned into a weird sort of chickenhawk argument

Hey, that was Alan Colmes you were talking to.

Colmes didn’t have much of an argument left.

Heh, he usually doesn’t, he’s mostly good at asking inane questions, then interrupting the guest while they try to answer.

Dick Morris by the way has been getting on my nerves lately on that show and the Frank Luntz segment is way over done.

Alan is a big tool, but he seems level-headed for a liberal.

Hmmm, I find the Alan Colmes bashing here quite disturbing. For the benefit of our newest members who do not yet know me (hard as it might be to believe that anyone might not know HotAir’s Resident nearly almost practically famous Rock Star) I don’t come within a country mile of being a liberal. Yes I find myself irritated with Alan quite frequently, but not because he is a idiot or lunatic. But because he is intelligent lucid articulate and disturbing insightful. He also happens to hold opinions nearly diametrically opposed to those I hold.

He is a liberal with a brain that functions exceedingly well, that my friends is why he is on Hanity and Colmes. It’s also why Sean allows him to go on and on. Because he consistently brings up valid, even if irritating points. We cannot afford to dismiss Colmes as a whacked out crank, because that is precisely what he is not. These disparaging comments about him do nothing but make us look like dkos-kiddies. Unlike some of you, I have no intention of allowing myself to appear to be a conservative koskiddie.

Is Fox just looking for a counterpoint to Hannity with this clown? He basically whines about the opposite of whatever Hannity wants, even if it’s a neutral topic. The show has become Sophomoric Debate 101, and is painfully boring.

It’s amazing he even has a job there.

I find Alan Colmes and libs in general the same.
