Alan Colmes has been on a downward spiral for the ages since John McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his presumptive Vice-Presidential nominee.
Fellow NewsBuster Warner Todd Huston caught Colmes scraping bottom at his Liberaland web site last night, as the lefty talker and Sean Hannity piñata asked "Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care?" in connection with Palin's pregnancy and childbirth earlier this year. Trig Palin was born with Down's Syndrome on April 18.
A whiff of sanity appears to have prevailed, as the entry is now empty. Also not present: an apology. (Update, 3:30 p.m. -- Here's Colmes's "apology." You can decide whether it's adequate or simply blame-shifting.)
But apparently Colmes has no problem with this entry he put up on Friday afternoon about the circumstances surrounding Todd and Sarah Palin's wedding (full entry follows; links were in original):
Conservative Family Values
In her speech in Dayton today, Gov. Sarah Palin announced that she and her husband are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, which means they were married on August 29, 1988.
On April 20, 1989 – less than eight months after they eloped – their first son, Track, was born.
I think I can guess the real reason why they eloped, and it wasn’t to save money on an expensive wedding.
Colmes's snide reference is to this NationalJournal.com Almanac entry, which reads:
After returning home, Palin eloped with her high school boyfriend in 1988 to save money on an expensive wedding.
Alan, do you know who pays for traditional weddings?
Stipulate for the moment that Colmes might be correct, and that Palin was pregnant at the time the couple married. Is it really inconceivable to Colmes that Todd and Sarah, who had known each other for many years, might have decided to spare their parents, none of whom as far as I can tell were wealthy, an extravagant expense?
One commenter at Colmes's post made this telling point:
If it’s true then what matters is that Palin has demonstrated her pro-life bona fides not once but at least twice in her life. Once at marriage, the second time after finding out the baby she was carrying would have Down (sic) Syndrome.
The story of the Palins, and Colmes's reaction, also brings to mind a fairly well-known Republican whose wife was three months pregnant when they married. He was also ridiculed as "somehow" being a values hypocrite by Colmes's philosophical predecessors.
It turns out this Republican and his wife had a decades-long romance for the ages. The publication of a treasure trove of letters this Republican wrote to his wife over many decades caused even hardened liberals to tear up as they were read. Normally curmudgeonly Mike Wallace was moved to say:
I had no idea. I knew that they adored each other: she him and he her. But the stuff that you read here is -- it's extraordinary.
..... Listen, I used to look at them when they were in public situations like this. And come on -- I mean, the adoring look and all of that, and the way that he looked at her. I used to say, come on, it couldn't be that. Turns out it was, and the letters make it so apparent.
If you can get through the September 9, 2000 CNN interview about this man's letters to his wife Nancy without choking up, you may need to check your pulse.
This Republican also served as governor of a Western state. He also was a pretty effective politician.
That Republican was Ronald Reagan.
Be careful what you wish for, Alan.

August 31, 2008 - 10:56 ET by charlietexasIt doesn't surprise me what Alan said, he's a typical liberal dirty democrat. What I get out of what he said and other liberals have said IS...they are very worried and scared about Palin.
I love McCains pick....he did good.

Panic on the Left
August 31, 2008 - 19:00 ET by Kuso JijiThey don't know what to do so they resort to doing what is in their nature; sling mud to see what sticks.
Palin's experience dwarfs Obama's yet they try to make it seem like
the country is at great risk if she becomes the VP when in fact its the
Democrats who have nominated a guy for President with about the same credentials as
Dan Quail did when he became VP.
They throw at her the lowest of the low personal attacks that have
absolutely no merit. How does anyone who walks upright accuse a mother
of intentionally damaging their unborn child for political gain, how
does anyone have the nerve to suggest she is placing her career over
her children?
They accuse her of being guilty of some kind of abuse of power with unproven and politically motivated allegations.
Its pretty clear why people like Alan Colmes are in a panic. Its become
apparent to them they should have picked the pantsuit over the empty
one.
Edwards & Bubba
August 31, 2008 - 11:05 ET by DingbatI'm sorry but I cannot find any similar outrage from Alan re Edwards and Bubba. Did I just miss it somewhere?
grasping
August 31, 2008 - 11:05 ET by sawing battathese clowns are grasping at this stuff? they cant attack on ISSUES because they are smart enough to know they will loose.
This is a very good sign. Colmes isnt even a big tin foil hat guy. He's a pretty smart dude and if he's grasping at this stuff, it's a good sign.
I have a theory. I think
September 1, 2008 - 08:39 ET by Ryan Mc.I have a theory. I think Alan deep down knows his side is wrong but he has made a livelyhood on the left. When he argues a point on Hannity and Colmes he just fires off shots that are often horribly misleading. He has no passion about what he says. Rather than prove his philosophy is correct he wants to play verbal samantic games. Lets say you said Barack isn't prepared to be president. Alan might say that Barack has been to six european countries while Palin has only been to four. Rather than debate the actual issue he chooses some meaningless proxy to fight about that is silly and irrelevant. He won't let you get off of it either. I have really hated watching that show because it has become so trivial. I think this story is another example of Alan thinking he has some trivial point to score but is largely meaningless but he won't get off it because he no longer really believes strongly about the ideology.
Ryan, Did you know that alan has a radio show?

This is extraordinarily bad. Because 95% of elopers support raising taxes and increasing government spending. It is a proven fact people.
No wait. I got that completely wrong. Turns out no one really cares because it is not 1937 anymore.
Gov. Palin
August 31, 2008 - 11:25 ET by Emma GrumpThe reaction of the liberal democrats to Sen. McCain's choice of VP candidate prove my suspicions that they are quite concerned . The vicious derogatory remarks directed at her demonstrates the level of their fear, and we all know it.
I agree. Wouldn't you like

August 31, 2008 - 15:56 ET by ChenZhenI concluded a long time ago that Colmes is just a scary-looking dude that Fox puts up next to Hannity to “represent” the left. I think you’d be pretty hard-pressed to find actual liberals that identify with the guy. So, by all means, petition Fox to fire the him or boycott the show or whatever. No one I know would care.

Colmes is the classic MSM example of the intersection of insurmountable ignorance and bone-deep bigotry. Not a pretty sight, but interesting to observe in action.

Good Humor, Man
August 31, 2008 - 12:44 ET by CobraManThat comment section is a great source of humor. My favorites are the liberals who claim that Sarah is, somehow, a hypocrite by claiming that the timing of the birth of her first child is proof of her ignoring "traditional family values." She and her husband have been married for 20 yeas and have five children, all born in wedlock, and there is absolutely no indication that her or her husband have had an affair in all those years. That's a pretty good indication as to their belief in traditional family values, isn't it? I mean, really, you can't get much better than that.
Obama: My job is above my pay grade
What I think is humerous
August 31, 2008 - 12:54 ET by BlazerWhat I think is humerous Cobra is that somehow they believe Gov. Palin was a born conservative. I think I read on Drudge yesterday that Mr. Palin and her eldest child aren't conservatives. She and her husband have been together for twenty yrs. and have five children together that are being raised by two parents. The Palins are alot like my wife and I, and no doubt alot of liberal families out there also.
I was a liberal for over half of my life but through a clearer vision of the world around me through wisdom and circumstance, I am now a conservative. You live and you learn, sometimes.

Just because a person is
August 31, 2008 - 17:45 ET by liberal_bug_zapperJust because a person is not a registered Republican does not, in any way, shape or form mean they are a Liberal. I am a registered independant, yet I'm also a staunch conservative. The Republican party has been losing members because we feel the Republican Party has left us. However, we as Conservatives outnumber Liberals in this great nation around 2 to 1. We just don't want to get into that as it is the issues that are more important. I bet you anything her Husband and Son are staunch Constitutionalists and Freedom loving Libertarian minded people... but don't hold to any one party line. That's me in a nutshell.

On Elopement
August 31, 2008 - 12:04 ET by JoelCTMy wife and I eloped. We just grabbed my Mom as a witness and went to the Justice of the Peace. We honeymooned on Town Lake in Austin. It was wonderful. And our marriage lasted 12 years and we have two awesome children because of it. If Alan Colmes was standing here, I'd break his nose for the insult, except:
Alan isn't talking about elopement, Tom. He is talking about pre-marital sex, something Republicans are not allowed to do in his twisted mind. A Democrat can have pre-marital sex, post-marital sex, aldulterous sex, bathroom sex with strangers, consensual sex with children, three-somes, four-somes, wife-swapping, phone-sex, bestiality, and on and on and on, because they don't condemn it, therefore they aren't hypocritical. Republicans can't have pre-marital sex and then plead that their children don't. That makes them less-than-human in Alan's twisted world.
What a sad man he is. I do not consider him to be unintelligent as some have posted here. I consider him a smart man who has been twisted by the left, and I hope he sees the light some day.
My wife gave birth to our
August 31, 2008 - 12:14 ET by BlazerMy wife gave birth to our first son six months after we were married in a small J.O.P. ceremony and she carried him full term. Now we have been married 15 yrs. and have two more sons.
We both work hard and raise our three sons together. We were highschool sweethearts also, love each other very much, and teach our children what I believe are the cornerstones of a succesful life, personal accountability and responsibility.
We have been together from a young age and the got over the rock and humps, hills and valley's of the follies of youth, and soon will be enjoying our third decade together.
Maybe Mr. Colmes can explain exactly how Gov. Palin and her husband are lesser people and lesser conservatives and how my wife and I are too, because we chose the hard road and not the easy way out like most liberals do.

August 31, 2008 - 12:37 ET by celatorcoco...God bless you in your loss.
I started dating my wife when she was 14, and we got married four years later. No one in either family approved. Said it couldn't last. Impossible. What a mistake we were making.
Well, 45 years later, we can look back and smile. We worked through our differences, worked hard, raised three good kids, have 5 grandkids, financially ok, enjoying the best years of our lives. Literally everyone else in her and my extended family who married "correctly" has gotten at least one divorce, and has had all kinds of trouble with at least some of their kids, two of whom are in jail as I write this.
I wish them well, and pray for them all. But it sure is nice to say to those who tried to break us up way back then, "We're doing just fine, thank you."

As the catholic priest said
August 31, 2008 - 12:42 ET by dmntd1As the catholic priest said to friends of mine prior to their near-elope.....
"God loves children. He loves them so much that the first one can come any time after marriage. The rest, however, generally take nine months."
So, the loonies have shown that Gov Palin is human, with human urges, and is truly a pro-life activist. While this might hurt them among some, the fact that their 20 years of marriage is still together and strong will help more than the circumstances of the wedding.
It seems the more I hear of her, the more excited I am about voting for Sen McCain. I was originally voting Libertarian, as my vote won't count, but count or not, McCain will probably have it...

Adios, Lefty!
August 31, 2008 - 12:07 ET by AZTech2020As a longtime frequent viewer of Hannity & Colmes, many of Colmes' snide and vacuous comments merely drew a feeling of repugnance from my family and I. From now on (listen up, Mr. Ayles!) whenever Colmes' shows his face or voice on the tube or Fox radio, the channel's getting changed. H&C is obviously off the agenda (though very conservative, I'm not a big fan of Hannity either!) and any other venue that Colmes may appear in. I don't believe I'm alone in this response, either. All of this hateful commentary just shows you how lame the far-left DeNOcrats really are.
I watch a different show.

No Hannity
August 31, 2008 - 12:50 ET by JoelCTGlad to meet you, AZ. I thought I was the only person tired of Hannity, so I kept my mouth shut.
He talks more than he listens, especially when he has a more well-rounded and/or intelligent guest speaking, and he has gotten so repetitve, it just isn't worth the time to listen. He will say the words "Ayers", "Reverend Wright", "finally proud of America" and so on, so many times over the course of an hour of his radio show that when you listen to the next hour, you'd swear the radio station accidentally repeated the previous hour. He fills his radio show with that repetitiveness, so that all you get out of his "Three hours a day that's all we ask" is about twenty minutes of good stuff. I don't know about everyone else, but I don't consider that a good use of my time.
You got that right, Joel!
August 31, 2008 - 13:20 ET by AZTech2020I agree with you 100%. Hannity interrupts and cuts off "guests" constantly and his self-righteous pomposity is a real turn-off. I agree with almost all his political positions, but he really has gotten too big for his pants. His "Hannitizing" BS sounds a little too much like brainwashing to this ol' boy. You are so on-the-mark about his constant repitition of the same trigger words. Thanks for the comment!

August 31, 2008 - 14:45 ET by candanceI've long said that Hannity is a GOP kool aid drinker, as in his party can do no wrong and Republican talking points are always his first attack.

However, the whole discussion format of H&C is annoyingly predictable:
Colmes: President Bush (or insert Conservative) did XXX which is outrageous!
Hannity: Clinton (or other Liberal) did the same thing, and you guys didn't complain about it!
Colmes: And you Republicans went crazy and said it was outrageous when he did it!
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

August 31, 2008 - 13:03 ET by Jack BauerThe extreme loony left have become unhinged over Sarah Palin. This is mind-boggling stuff, all in three days. Funny thing is, it only helps the McCain ticket.
Wait until decent Democrat/Hillary leaning women get a load of the river of slime being unleashed on Palin -- inluding, by the way, from that loathsome creature Andrew Sullivan who still, I believe calls himself a "conservative."
I'm sure it's like water off a duck's back to Palin. And her husband looks like one tough hombre you don't want to cross.

I have sent two emails to Sean Hannity at both his websites informing him that I refuse to watch his program until he replaces Colmes. I suggested Democrat analyst Kirsten Powers.

Something the Left doesn't get
August 31, 2008 - 14:44 ET by WingletDriverThe truly committed Catholics and Evangelicals that I know are not so much concerned with where you were but where you are. Most of us are converts or reverts to some extent. Everyone I know admits to making mistakes--sometimes huge ones--but it's how you've reacted to those mistakes that speaks of your true character.
Lefties operate by character assassination. They think we care what somebody did 20 years ago. Even Norma McCorvey has been welcomed wholeheartedly into first the Evangelical community and currently the Catholic Church. She's greeted for who she is now, not what she once did.

August 31, 2008 - 19:09 ET by pocomocoColmes should be considered a bellwether liberal indicating how deep the Democrats will go into the cesspool in an attempt to damage the reputation of Palin, and it confirms that are running scared.
It was said that if Ronald Reagan became President, Rush Limbaugh would be out of a job. To Rush’s credit this never happened.
One must then ask, what would happen if Obama became President? Would it be the end of Colmes? It would be if you could pry his lips from Obama’s ass.
If Sean Hannity does not
August 31, 2008 - 17:20 ET by LilyPearlIf Sean Hannity does not denounce Colmes like he would every other liberal who would make a statement like that, I will be disappointed. Just because he sits beside him on a show does not mean he should give him a pass. I hope Hannity takes him on on his Monday radio show.
Oh I see The Tortoise
August 31, 2008 - 18:38 ET by bigtimerOh I see The Tortoise strikes again....(I have always called him that...he has always reminded me of a desert turtle with just his weird looking head sticking out...)
What a whiz...bang.
Desperation is a fun thing to watch...at times like this.
these little critters are only hurting their own side of the aisle..let's enjoy watching them disintegrate...

August 31, 2008 - 19:50 ET by RESTLESS 1Speaking of classless, check out this video of former DNC chairman don fowler and Rep. John Spratt (D S.C.) yucking it up about Gustav hitting N.O. at the perfect time. Just sick.
Edit: There's a part in the middle where fowler says it "kinda shows God's on our side", and toward the end, he says "everything's good". I know the audio is hard to hear, but if you have earphones, you can hear it loud and clear.

In case Alan doesn't read his own blog comments...
August 31, 2008 - 20:15 ET by Mike BrattonAlan, I much prefer discussing issues to discussing individuals. Unfortunately, with your remarably vicious attack on Gov. Palin, your elimination of the evidence, and a "mea culpa" that was long on "culpa" but remarkably free of "mea," you've made yourself, and your behavior, an issue.
We understand that modern liberalism is emotion-heavy and reason-free, but your recent fit here has clearly emphasized that liberals don't have a substantive foot upon which to stand. Please resign from Fox News ASAP, and shutter your blog permanently. Since this is, obviously, the best you have, you should leave the discussion of issues to people who are actually interested in discussing them, instead of attacking others with whom they disagree.

Alan Colmes
August 31, 2008 - 21:22 ET by WolverAlan Colmes is a moron. He very seldom makes any sense yet thinks he's God's gift. I can't believe FOX can't find anyone else to challenge Hannity. Like most liberals they always have to resort to name calling and dirty politics because they can't win on facts. Judging the huge negative reaction from the media Palin was a good choice and the democrats are scared. The republicans are going to prove that a Woman doesn't have to look like a Dyke Feminazi to be a strong politician.
Colmes

Couldn't Track possibly have been a preemie?
September 1, 2008 - 10:47 ET by nkviking75I guess it didn't occur to Colmes that Track may have been a preemie. This falls into the category of "Too good to check".
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
nviking - very likely - especially since most women don't
September 1, 2008 - 10:58 ET by Dee Bunkrealize they are pregnant until they are past one month, so the notion that the wedding was a cover-up is pretty absurd. If she was pregnant she probably didn't even know it.
I don't think any normal person cares if she had pre-marital sex but even if her baby was full term, all it would prove was sex by people committed to getting married. It's not quite the same thing as people who just sleeping around.
It turns out Palin's daughter is 5 months pregnant right now
September 1, 2008 - 11:32 ET by Dee Bunkso it was impossible for her to have been the mother of this baby.
Sarah announced this to combat the nasty rumors and no Republicans are going to care. They will just be happy that her daughter was raised with good enough values to follow her mother's lead and not have an abortion.
Here is the announcement for those who haven't seen it on Drudge
Palin's Daughter Pregnant
Classless AND Ignorant Alan Colmes
September 1, 2008 - 13:13 ET by BondPlainBondDo I understand this correctly?
Alan Colmes actually believes because Governor Palin's water broke and she flew home to Alaska, THAT is THE reason her son was born with Down's Syndrome?
What a maroon! THAT alone should have him banned from the airways as he demonstrates himself to be, again, totally ignorant and completely an idiot.
Link to Alan Colmes' deleted post at Liberland, the comments to that post, and the Alan Colmes' deleted response to those comments.
Looks like what's good for the goose ISN'T good for the gander. Colmes first displayed his cowardice by deleting the post, then again when he couldn't stand the heat in the kitchen he set on fire.
I wrote FoxNews last night demanding Alan Colmes apologize, on air, to Governor Palin. I also asked that the apology be run on an hourly basis on all Fox television and radio programs for the coming week.
Since Alan Colmes really is this stupid, everyone should know it AND the reason why. Colmes MUST be held accountable for his outrageously ignorant comments; as a man, and as a FoxNews employee and representative.
