Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity is losing his liberal half.
Alan Colmes of the network’s “Hannity & Colmes” said on his Web site Monday that he’ll be leaving the prime-time show after 12 years. He said he approached a network executive earlier this year about doing something else.
Colmes will continue as a liberal commentator on Fox programs, keep doing his own radio show and is developing a weekend show at Fox News.
There was no immediate word about whether he will be replaced on the popular prime-time program. Hannity has been the bigger star in media circles and recently signed a contract extension. Hannity also does his own solo weekend show at News Corp.-owned Fox.
Can you blame him?

“Hannity has been the bigger star in media circles”
weak; little opportunity for schadenfreude = unslogworthy
Good, maybe they’ll replace him with a liberal who has a pair.
Alan Colmes was on that show?
I think they should put him on with someone equally nuts, but on the left, like Mike Malloy.
It would be interesting to see which one would drop dead of an aneurysm or stroke first.
Hannity and Franken
Hannity and Seder
Hannity and the Clintons
Hannity and Some Guy From the Teamsters Who Won’t Put Up With Hannity’s Shit
Hannity and Bizarro Hannity
Hannity and a Manitee
I’d watch any one of those, though the only one I think is realistic is Hannity/Manitee.

I think the really important question here is: who the fuck is Grant Brissey?

Hannity and a Manitee for the win!
Sean just needs to come out of the closet.
You mean Colmes is going to get a backbone installed?
Off topic; report from the real world:
-Obama’s stimulus plan has resulted in a huge 891 point surge in the stock market in just two days.
-He said he wouldn’t allow the big 3 automakers to vanish, code for not letting them file chapter 11.
-He’s going to have another news conference tomorrow. Maybe Slog will cover it?
-He’s on the ball showing leadership way before being inaugurated.
OK back to celeb gossip…..
PC seems to be of the opinion that the rest of us don’t know of any other newspapers and so come to the blog of an alt weekly for our daily news.
Hannity might be reduced to berating an empty chair. His viewers won’t notice.
Hannity and Rosie O’Donnell. At least she could occasionally put him in a headlock or shout him down.
Hannity and David Corn.
Alan Colmes deserves a golden parachute for putting up with Hannity all these years! I don’t know how he did it. –Jim
Dude.
He’s not liberal.
Heck, in Canada he’d be to the RIGHT of the Conservatives.
Nuff said – fair and balanced my ass!
Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.
Double down on the douchery.
I don’t think anyone’s going to notice he’s gone.
Keith Olbermann put it best: Alan Colmes is the Washington Generals of liberal media figures.
