2. There are two
The radio guy and the Hannity guy are not the same person. The guy who does the radio show is a lot tougher.

3. Colmes is quite a bit smarter than how he allowed himself to be portrayed on Hannity.
However the format of Colme's radio leaves a great deal to be desired.

He dedicates too much time to silly squabbling with right-wing callers.

9. Is he still on Hannity?
Not that I ever watched H & C but I thought that it was just Hannity's show alone now (not, frankly, that there is probably not that much of a difference given what I heard about his general "performance" on the show). I enjoy listening him tangling with right-wing callers. Somebody needs to (for all the good it does).

4. Yes he is
I enjoyed his interview of last night with Rick Steves, the travel guy on PBS.

But to your point, AC is much more assertive and takes no prisoners when it comes to right wing callers and guests.

5. Yes, that was a good interview.
But I am afraid I only heard part of it. I wonder if Colmes has a podcast.

8. Colmes does have a podcast

13. I was shocked
Still am a little bit whenever I listen to his radio show. He is a very staunch liberal/progressive on his radio show. He must have been paid very well by Fox to appear to be Hannity's bitch.

7. I like him.
I liked him on WNBC, WEVD, and I like his network radio show now. He does good interviews and does good follow-up questions. And I like his sense of humor.

11. I only ever saw a few clips on him on H&C. He doesn't have much of a pressence.

12. He is the Washington Generals playing the Globetrotters each night
Or, he is a nice fluffy roll of Sean Hannity's Charmin toilet tissue.

15. Other: Noodle boiled for 17 hours
Its hard to respect someone that gets paid to get punked for his lunch money by Shawn Hannity five days a week.
