Outta Here

Looks like Colmes is on his way out the door. I didn't realize how long he and Hannity had been together--the show's been on the air since 1996. I feel a bit sorry for Colmes; as Hannity's gotten bigger and bigger (both figuratively and, I suppose, literally), he's been more and more overshadowed. The enduring public image of him is as a punching bag rather than a sparring partner.

Oh, and here's a very revealing statement from Colmes:

In the interim the production crew called the show ”Hannity and LTBD.” LTBD stood for ”Liberal to Be Determined.” ”It was fill in the blank,” said Mr. Colmes, who grew up in Lynbrook, New York loving all progressive causes. ”I was the blank.”

"I was the blank." Don't we know it, Alan. Don't we know it.
