Quick check in on that Fox News comedy program
I direct you to the very end of this clip from “Hannity and Colmes” which shows the Rush Limbaugh / Ann Coulter bit of the new half hour “counter-balance to the Daily Show” comedy program “Half Hour News Hour”…
…the banter between Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter.
Which somehow tells you all you need to know about the strange relationship between Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes.
Alan Colmes points to the superfluous character of the secretary who is named by President Rush Limbaugh “Rosemary” and makes an obscure point “Couldn’t be Rosemary Woods, could it?” Hannity makes a sort of disinterested expression, and says “I don’t know.”
Alan Colmes will make such obscure points about much more important issues from time to time, which I suppose is by way of by-passing any “balance” in a supposed balance directed for the benefit of Republicans.
For the interested, Rosemary Woods was Nixon’s secretary who lied on his behalf about how the tapes were destroyed, resulting in an iconic photograph where she strretched to show how those minutes were accidentally deleted. I have no idea if the writers of “The Half Hour News Hour” were making an obscure reference, or how that is what pops up as most illuminating from the sketch to Alan Colmes.
