Wow.

I love some of their old music, but . . . they’re really getting to be jackasses in their old age.

Guess that just means they’re in good company with Stewart.

Hannity has responded. Here is his comeback.

“I was actually thinking of Jon [Stewart] as a co-host but I needed someone who could be smart and funny without 50 writers and two has-been rockers who are badly in need of Botox.”

Oh no. Because they are still so revelant and kids today will still care what they have to think…

I don’t think that I’ve had anything from Hall and Oates that wasn’t 8-track. That fact aside, Hall and Oates remain a vital force and influence on my every day life.

I sure hope they saved some money. That ain’t even State Fair material anymore.

Boy, Hall & Oats really suck…

I saw Hall on some cable concert thing akin to “Unplugged”. I’d rather listen to fingernails dragging a chalkboard than that old, dried up piece of shoe leather.

Hall & Oats: Two totally shot-out relics…

Perhaps, but by any stretch they’ve had an amazing career in a biz where 99.99999 are never heard from.

They’ve earned the right to be dopes.

Alan Colmes: Never had an original thought…

Hall & Oats: Two totally shot-out relics…

Jon Stewart: Sophmoric as it gets…

What’s really funny, though, is that so many think this is a real talent pool.

[...] are, you might find it funny that they appeared on the John Stewart show, and did a little “music tribute” to Alan Colmes of all people, who is leaving the Hannity and Colmes show in January. Watch the video below. Its fairly obvious [...]

Dead Lord, please tell me I won’t be as ashamed of Coldplay in 20 years as the generation before me must be for Hall & Oates right now ….

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! The derivative, crappy, quasi-emo COLDPLAY? The lead singer who is a self-proclaimed marxist that flies separate from the bandmates in his own private jet? HA!

I bet you listen to Nickelback too. Hehehe…

Jeez, I used to like these guys. Who knew they were just a couple of unhinged libs. And John Liebowitz is a d**k.

Was it me or did Hall & Oates look like Claymation figures with the heat on? Oates looked like he was shiny & melting.

As for Jon Lebowitz, what a classless jerk-face. My Christmas miracle would be for him to be caught brought out in handcuffs of a bath house after a police sting with news cameras rolling. Who’s laughing now Jonny?

Just when I thought Jon Stewart couldn’t be more of a douchebag, he goes and proves me completely wrong…

Sorry…I should have posted the above in a Blago thread.

Getting back on topic, I can’t wait for Colmes to go. It will save me from diving for the MUTE button every time he opens his mouth to talk over their guests. I mean, really, did he ever let a conservative answer a question without stepping all over their answer?

OK, so I bit on it and went to Comedy Central's Daily Show site out of curiosity to see if they had posted anything about Blagojevich's auctioning off Obama's senate seat. I mean, it seems like pretty big news, and since they are a fake news show, you would think they would cover it, right? And they do, sorta kinda, but Jon Stewart handles it by making fun of Blago's name and the history of corruption in Illinois, specifically in the governor's office. I watched all 4 videos posted about Blago, and NOT ONCE does Stewart mention the names Obama, Emanuel, Axelrod, Jarret, Jackson, or anyone remotely linked to the President-elect Messiah. Some of the news clips he uses do mention Obama's vacant seat, but that's as close as they get to mentioning The One. And now The Daily Show has conveniently gone on hiatus until after the holidays...coincidence? Here are the clips

I went to high school with John Oates…. beat him up then and he was two years older than me….

Didn’t do a very good job of it, as he still tries to sing.

Colmes left because he found memorizing DNC talking points too ‘taxing’ on his mind. He arranged his golden parachute with Geico… returning to do more of their caveman ads.

Someone please let me know when he’s gone, as I may try watching FNC at 9:00 PM again.

Little known fact: the third guy on guitar behind them?

Alan Colmes.

Cuffy Meigs on December 12, 2008 at 1:37 PM

No, that’s a union guy. I think it’s in the show’s contract. Either that or he just wandered on stage.
