    Hannity & Colmes lifecycle:

    Colmes & TBD-> Colmes & Hannity -> Hannity & Colmes -> Hannity & TBD.

    Full circle! Colmes sucked/sucks/will suck.

    Without Hannity, Combs is nothing. His radio show is doing swirlies in the toilet, ratings-wise.

    Good.

    Fuck that cock-eyed weasel.

    There are plenty of more interesting and entertaining left-wing pundits that would be a good match for Hannity.

    I haven't watched the show in a while; too many people taking at once and no one listening gets tiresome. I remember Alan Colmes as mostly fair-minded, though people tell me he started toeing the Democrat line more and more in the past several years.

    Besides, it was clearly Hannity's show anyway. He dominated it at almost every turn.

    And that's why he was picked for the show: because he is a spineless, defenseless wimp.

    * Caedus hopes that Kristen Powers is Colmes' replacement.

    Is this because you like Kristen Powers, and want to see more of her?

    Or is it because you dislike her and want to see her shouted at by Hannity?

    Actually, it'd be a good way to dial Hannity back some because he'd be more deferential, I think, to a woman. He even treats that shrew Estrich quite civilly.

    I think it depends on where they want the show to go...if they want to reign him in and get more civil, Powers would be the obvious choice.

    If they want to maintain the "Crossfire" vibe, they'll get a man who can mix it up with Hannity and the guests.

    In that vein, the guy I would cast is Ellis Henican. He's camera friendly (unlike Colmes) well-spoken, and not afraid to raise his voice if need be.

    Hannity & Henican would be probably a better team than Hannity & Colmes

    I like Colmes, but his face is kind of creepy.

    Not bad, but I'm not into blondes. Much better than looking at Colmes big waterhead. I might even watch sometime (not really).

    I don't watch the show regularly, but I have seen Hennican now and then. He'd be a pretty good counterpart who has a tone that doesn't sound as appeasing.

    Even though he'd still be wrong. :ramen:
