Alan Samuel Colmes (born September 24, 1950) is a liberal media personality who hosts a talkradio show on FOX Radio. Colmes used to co-host the television cable program Hannity & Colmes, along with Sean Hannity, on the Fox News Channel, until Colmes decided to depart the show, in January 2009. He will remain at Fox News as a commentator.[1]
Though Colmes identifies himself as a liberal and has even written a book about the supremacy of liberal politics[2], he is perceived by many as a, "quisling," and a "milquetoast" strawman for allowing Hannity to regularly talk over Colmes and generally disparage liberal thought, without adequate recourse.
