RIP Alan Colmes

Mott the Hoople

Sweet Jane
Alan Colmes of Fox News "Hannity and Colmes" passed away today of an undisclosed illness.

I'll never forget Alan being the single most clueless fop to ever present an opposing point of view on Fox News. Never the less he was a decent human being and my regards to his family on his passing.
 
Sorry to see him go. He was probably the most intelligent liberal pundit on tv. Unfortunately, he was tasked with defending the indefensible.
 
He wasn't looking well last time I saw him. I had assumed that it was his distaste at having to lose every argument. What was his condition?
 
Good guy - I thought he held his own w/ Hannity pretty well. R.I.P.
A drunken dog with a frontal lobotomy could hold his own with Sean Hannity. Hannity is a clueless Moron with a capital M. I don't see how anyone with an IQ over 40 could take Hannity serious.
 
I think it was in the '80's I commuted to my 2nd shift job, listening to Colmes from a Poughkeepsie, NY radio station.
I listened to Limbaugh regularly back then. But his show ended before my commute began.

So Colmes it was. & like Bd says, I found it better than listening to my rattle-trap falling apart * on my drive to 2nd shift.

When Colmes was asked why he didn't fight Hannity's fire with fire, Colmes is reported to have replied: - because it's more effective to fight fire with water. -

RIP Alan
It's not necessarily your policy positions we support. It was the intelligence, the class, the thought provoking way you presented them.

* I've moved up since then.
