| I thought Alan was acting different lately. It's as if he figured he was a short timer, so he could be downright rude & obnoxious. His retorts seemed more blatant and out there, in your face. Rude. Hannity is an Irishman & he can be hotheaded, but he's never nasty & rude. All these years, Colmes has been the "straight man" to Hannity's more boisterous personality. But this year, I've definitely noticed a difference in Colmes and guess I just didn't think about it long enough to figure out what it was.
I'm sure there's more to the story, there always is. I'm sure it's nothing nefarious, but in a way, it's kind of crappy for Alan to just up and want to quit a hit show like this. Love them or hate them - this show is a hit. I'm sure he wants to pursue other interests - but FNC allows all of it's people to do that. Hannity has a weekend solo show - Colmes could, too. So this bit about wanting to pursue other things and will continue to be on FNC in other ways is a little hollow sounding. |
