Hannity & Who?
JP notes:
After the end of the year, Alan Colmes will not provide a spirited defense of liberalism to Sean Hannity on Hannity & Colmes. Unlike for the past 12 years, the reason will now be that Colmes is not on the show.
Fox News has announced that the often-outshouted left half of the cable debate show will be leaving Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year. And TV Decoder is reporting that Colmes may not replaced, with Hannity—whom Fox recently signed to a rich new deal—possibly taking the show solo instead.
The folks at Fox News clearly need some help here. So we find ourselves with today's Swampland Commenter Contest: What person (or cartoon character or inanimate object or whatever) should replace Alan Colmes? (Keep it clean, please.)
UPDATE: Commenter FlownOver takes an early lead, with this one:
I'll guarantee who it won't be: Robert Gibbs!

KT here--
Gunny: Or a young, hot, blonde woman. Fox doesn't have many of those, either.
-
27
KT -- All the cartoon characters I can think of are under contract to Warner Brothers.
.
What about Reverend Wright? -
28
"Or a young, hot, blonde woman. Fox doesn't have many of those, either."
.
Oh come on KT. Fox News would never sell out like that. -
29
How about Hannity's favorite unrepentent terrorist Bill Ayers?
-
30
I would accept any of these in no particular order
.
James Carville
.
David Sirota
.
Cliff Schecter
.
Bill Burton (why hasn't he been mentioned for an Obama administration job?)
.
Howard Dean (he needs a job now)
.
Cenk Uyghur of The Young Turks
.
Jeanine Garafola
.
Lawerence O'donnell (but I kinda like him where he is pwning Pat Buchanan on a regular basis)
.
and finally my snark pick Terry Tate -

Karen Fox let E.D. "Terrorist fist bumps" Hill go. I guess ten years meant squat. Perhaps she was getting too long in the tooth after all this time, being 47 and all.
.
They are sexist and ageist there. This is ironic considering their audience age. Apparently 70 year old white men want women under 35 reading their news for them, the more bottle blond and collagened the better. -
32
Jar-Jar Binks: "Meesa not thinkin' Obama been knowin' Ayers so berry well."
-
33
Or a young, hot, blonde woman.
--
Actually they can be brunette if they're also non-white. But white women have to be blondes. It's weird... -
34
My last comment reminded me that I really miss Judy Woodruff and Bernie Shaw at CNN. Remember those days? I do. Darn it.
-
35
Oh wait I have the PERFECT new host.
.
Andrew Sullivan!!! He isn't a liberal but he HATES Hannity mostly because he thinks Hannity is a fake conservative and of course there is the LGBT issues. There would be some smoke in the city!!! -
36
I think I like this blog better with KT in charge. Wonkette wishes she was this funny.

Fox is playing to their Aryan nation audience. -

Hitchens would be funny, if you could keep him sober that late at night. Heck, it would be funny either way. He would have to have a minder to get him to the studio every day. It would be entertainment galore.
-
39
Rotating weekly picture cut-out of Reid, Pelosi, Dean, etc.
Hannity: So whaddaya have to say about that? Huh? Huh?
.
Frankly, I don't think that any librul would want to be the extreme sideshow. My guess is that they'll occasionally bring in some other prominent conservative to "channel" what the liberal mind is thinking...
.
This week! Ann Coulter!
Hannity: Hussein Obama is saying that *snort* consumers are going to have to buy less on credit and pay down debt!
Coulter: Well, Sean, if I had 90% of my prodigious brain removed, this might make sense to my Godless mind; however... -

i vote for bizarro me, or at least the caricature of me that would not hesitate to punch hannity in the face repeatedly the first time he interrupted me...alas, the real me was raised better than that...second choice; carville...imagine, i could avoid both of those blowhards at the same time...3rd choice, jesus. wouldnt that be fun!!!
-
41
I already told the atriots that it would be a life-sized stuffed panda.
.
As i think about it, though, they're gonna need them some ratings. So why no someone who can stand up to Sean? Schecter, for example.
.
Cool reality teevee too. We'd get to see Hannity's head explode.
.
Oh, wait, Condi needs a job. She'd broaden the demo. -
42
Oh hell I have one better than Robert Gibbs
.
Behold the pwnage from Malik Shabazz
.
Seems Hannity has been palling around with neo nazis. Funny I haven't seen Shabazz on again since this episode aired. -
43
Mario Cuomo
-
44
Oooh.
.
I nominate rose. She'd make mincemeat out of that mouse.
.
This actually does present a weird problem for Fox. They really put this straight-faced, we're a news organization thing on. Who can they pick who will take it and not destroy that message? -
45
alec baldwin...first episode would end in a good old long island arse whoopin

See my comment at number 8 -

Candace Gingrich, or Rosie O'Donnell if they want real discussion. An inflatable girlfriend, if they don't.

Hannity and Schecter would be great. The problem is that Schecter could stand up to him. That is why it will never happen. Hannity needs a punching boy. He needs a broken down liberal who is desperate for work.
.
How about champion presidential campaign consultant Bob Shrum? -

If you were being serious for a moment:
Bill Moyers
.
Dan Rather
