I should have known we were in trouble when Alan Colmes said “Senator Miller, I’d like to talk about the substance of your speech last night”. He then went on to fire the only bullet that Sean allowed him, I guess, accusing Zell of having called Kerry “an authentic American hero” in 2001.

Zell said “I was wrong about that.” Alan hemmed, hawwed, looked at his notes…and then…cut to commercial.

Wouldn’t it be more honest if they didn’t even bother to put a name at all after the “Hannity &” part?

Oh, well. Since Colmes is useless, I’ll toss out another contradiction and factual inaccuracy from Zell’s speech that apparently didn’t occur to the hapless and completely useless Colmes.

Kerry in his acceptance speech: “I will never give any nation or international institution a veto over our national security.”

Zell last night: “Senator Kerry has made it clear that he would use military force only if approved by the United Nations. Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending.”

There ya go, Alan. Would that have been that hard?

Apparently Colmes has no memory, isn’t allowed access to Google by Sean, or simply has no familiarity with what’s actually going on anywhere but in the Republican National Party and/or the Fox News Channel. Not that there’s any difference.

And Cheney? He said last night: “George W. Bush will never seek a permission slip to defend the American people.”

I’m sure Colmes will get right on that. Sigh.
