Alan Colmes, "liberal" voice on FAUX, dead at 66

NEW YORK (AP) -- Alan Colmes, the radio and television host and commentator best known as the amiable liberal foil to the hard-right Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel, has died.

Fox spokeswoman Dana Klinghoffer confirmed his death Thursday. Fox also aired a statement from his family saying that he died Thursday morning after "a brief illness." Colmes was 66 and is survived by his wife, Jocelyn Elise Crowley.

Colmes was a New York City native who worked for years in radio and standup comedy before joining Fox in 1996. That same year he and the conservative Hannity began a 12-year run as co-hosts of the popular "Hannity & Colmes" program. Colmes also was an author, his books including "Thank the Liberals" and "Red, White & Liberal."

I wasn't a regular listener to Alan's radio show, but the last time I heard him a few weeks back, his voice didn't sound right. I wondered if he was sick, but I just assumed it was a cold or something at that time. Apparently something more serious than that.

Well, I suppose putting up with Hannity for 12 years is punishment enough for anybody, so he's probably got a good shot at Heaven.

RIP Alan :(

I was on Twatter and heard the happy happy joy joy news.

Colmes was a Fox stooge. He was paid to be a "voice of dissent" when really he was just another media provocateur asshole. His whole pseudo-left propaganda agenda was just a rouse for ratings. Colmes was the Norah Jones of news - in that yeah, it's kind of real but most likely not. Fuck him. One less human to be fucking up the environment as far as I care.

On his radio show, he actually stood up to right wing dumbassery.....

sadly, he only did that on TV when he was up against Ann the Man, but never Hannity.

He was being paid by the right to do that, slave FORD
