This is too good: Alan Colmes used to be a STAND-UP COMEDIAN

[LittleApple81]

Kid you not. On AAR (unfiltered) today. And they said "Yes. not a lefty stanup but a "Dullard" standup!!!!

[skypilot]

1. He's probably funnier NOW...

...pretending to be a liberal. Funny looking prick.

[Kid_A]

2. Al Franken mentions that in LIES.

It seems appropriate that Fox's token "liberal" has a background that would make him extremely easy to discredit should he ever grow a pair and say something dangerous.

3. You know, I READ Franken's book... but I have NEVER watched

Colmes so I missed that tidbit.

4. Guess that didn't work out...

5. who cares

half the people on AA have been stand-up comedians.

8. But they are still funny... and use it to help. From what I hear,

Colmes IS NOT funny and he DOES NOT HELP the liberal cause... but hurt it by being a pansy.

[Kid_A]

9. Why do you think he's on that show?

They gave him that job because he's a fucking pansy and makes liberals look like fucking pansies.

13. there is a crucial difference: they are funny.

however, I will grant you that the current Colmes is goddamn hilarious without uttering a single intentional joke.

6. Radio Talk

I think he also had a radio talk show on WNBC in NY. It may have ended when WFAN took over the slot on the dial.

7. now he's Sean Hannity's stooge

[LittleApple81]

10. I didn't watch this, but have read transcripts and heard him explaining

why he appeared and acted the way he did. I like some of Rall's stuff, other I dislike. But I think IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE HIM be able to say what he thinks.

[LittleApple81]

12. I was talking about Rall on the above post. I tried to edit it but

something is weird: it said it was too late to edit it. Sorry.

11. More like the setup guy.

Hannity gets his rimshots in after Colmes sets up his strawman attacks.
