Five and a half years, Al Sharpton.After centuries of entrapment in a vaguely humanoid husk, the alien mutant Alan Colmes was finally permitted to slither out through a nostril and return to the elvin sewers from which he was fished so long ago. This left Sean Hannity in a pickle, because he still needed somebody to abuse every night on his television show.

He will now use a rotating panel of left-wing losers to talk over, and the very first one will be Al Sharpton. You know why? Because his first name begins with the same two letters as Alan Colmes’ first name, so it’s FATE.

Is Rupert Holmes still alive?

Vewol Mevemont January 9, 2009 at 10:19 am

Al Sharpton — a living, breathing straw man, kind of like Alan Colmes. It saves Hannity the trouble of inventing a bogeyman.

This pairing gets FIVE AND A HALF stars.

Gov. Paterson could appoint Al as New York’s senator and flip everybody out.

Iggy Plop January 9, 2009 at 10:25 am

But that’s not the whole story – it says Michelle Bachman, Al Sharpton, Meatloaf AND George W. Bush will be on for the premiere episode. It sounds like the cast list for a VH1 reality show.

Tommy Says Ira G is a Tool January 9, 2009 at 10:25 am

Rev. Al seems to have a lot of time on his hands, what with the running for president, appearing on the Tee Vee, and being the spokesman for LL Cool J’s Mama Said I’ll Conk You Out.

MARCdMan January 9, 2009 at 10:28 am

So how long before he outs Hannity as a Larry Craig toe-tapper?

Bruno January 9, 2009 at 10:29 am

This is very nobel (or noble) of Hannity wanting to spread the wealth around to the pinko liberals

ManchuCandidate January 9, 2009 at 10:29 am

Ebony and Ivory

Although Hannity would call it:
Ivory and Ebony

Side by side on my HD LCD, oh lord, why us please?
We all know that morans are the same where ever they show
There is stupid shit in everyone,
We get to shout, we get to yell
At each other so we can abuse each other on Faux/hell.

Ebony and ivory both together on Faux Newz’s Hannity
Side by side on my HD LCD, oh lord why dont we?

Ebony and ivory on Faux Newz’s Hannity
Ebony, ivory, ooh

If ever there was a moment for a meteor strike, this would be it. Nothing major, just one of those basketball sized ones to take out the studio stage while these too bozos squawk at each other.

Sharpton isn’t left wing. He is Sharpton Wing. Or Expediency Wing.

Al Sharpton is not a Mexican, smart guy.

You’re looking pretty dumn right now.

Tommy Says Ira G is a Tool January 9, 2009 at 10:37 am

You know, back in the college days, we always feared being drunk and sitting on the toilet, achieving “equilibrium” by vomiting and shitting at the same time.

Kudos, Faux News, you have found the mythical Yeti, the vaunted “equlibrium” of my youth.

Hallelujah! Al Sharpton was the only warm-blooded candidate for the Democratic nomination. All the others were reptilians, including, as you will soon see, the Wonkette fave, B. Hussein Obama). On behalf of Mammals for Al, which still holds meetings in cozy warm places, I want to take this opportunity to express our joy, with lots of purrs, barks and squeaks.

I Am Not Your Gary Busey January 9, 2009 at 10:42 am

Is there some significance that they both have variations on the first name Alan?
Does it help Hannity remember his lines?
vis.
“Five and a half years Alan!!!!” will still work just fine with Reverend Sharpton “Five and a half years Al!!!”
But I suspect that if they changed the partners name it would come out as “I suck my thumb Geraldo!!!” or “Daddy like spankies Mika!!!”

That would just be embarrassing for everyone.

Dreamer January 9, 2009 at 10:44 am

This does not make sense – isn’t Sharpton one of the scary Negros Faux News uses to scare real America? This surely messes their scary Negro meme or is Sharpton going to be live example of the bogeyman.

That was genius, Sara. Charles Dickens had better start looking over his shoulder even if he is dead.

You think they’re going to put valium in Sharpton’s coffee? How else will anyone get a word in? Must not see Tee Vee.

Honestly, Hannity won’t last 3 days against Rev. Al.

I was talking about this possibility just the other day. The good Reverend would be nuts to want a Senate seat. As little as Senators actually work, Sharpton works less and still gets on the TV regularly.

Are they paying him in mules?

IceCreamEmpress January 9, 2009 at 11:04 am

This is so going to backfire on Hannity, because Sharpton is actually capable of reading a book and absorbing information. Sean’s hiring the track-suited demagogue Sharpton, but he’s going to get the Hugo Boss-suited policy wonk Sharpton, and he is going to look like a moron. CAN’T WAIT!

Couldn’t they pick almost anyone to be Hannity’s “liberal” counterpart?

No one deserves a break like this like Sharpton. He will soon cement his roll as biggest sellout in history, once he moves on to become a spokesperson for the KKK.

Miller January 9, 2009 at 11:07 am

Al Sharpton, Michelle Bachmann, and Meatloaf? Moderated by Hannity? It’s like they read my mind. If only they made them do Double Dare style physical challenges for rhetorical points. Now I don’t even feel sorry about Hannity putting Colmes to sleep. I don’t buy that story about him living on a nice farm upstate.

Seriously, this could be like matter and antimatter coming together: Two opposite, polarized bodies being put a bit too closely together. This can only lead to two possible outcomes:

2. The annihilation of our universe in a manner they thought only the Large Hadron Collider or the rapture could produce.

“return to the elvin sewers from which he was fished so long ago”
We have elvin sewers?
I thought they all left for the Shining Lands ten thousand years ago, we’re still using their sewers?
And Alan Colmes is swimming around in their somewhere?
Hopey’s right, we need some new infrastructure projects right away. Everybody knows the Elves were elitists who had magical powers, we shouldn’t be fucking with their sewers, that’s probably how we ended up electing Bush (that or another fiendish plot by those dopplegangers of the RNC commonly known as “the Lizard People”).

I emailed Alan once and told him his (old) website was a cluttered messy mess — because it was. He actually wrote back and came across as mildly concerned, but mostly confused that someone would point it out. I told him why and he we parted ways. I’ll miss our time together, Alan.

Anonymous Office Zombie January 9, 2009 at 12:27 pm

This left Sean Hannity in a pickle, because he still needed somebody to abuse every night on his television show.

I think Sarah’s touched on something important here. Empasis on the words “need” and “to abuse”. Hannity and Colmes went together like abuser and abusee. Which is even creepier when you recall Colmes’ characterization of his relationship to a marriage.

hockeymom January 9, 2009 at 12:47 pm

I am most interested in watching how Bachman reacts to Sharpton. The body language will be fabulous and she’ll say at least 12 things that will be “taken out of context” by the liberal press.
This is appointment TV.
