Hannity and (Stephanie) Miller? Why Not?
The biggest question on the Fox News poll front isn’t “How many ways do you think the economic disaster is Obama’s fault?” That’s second. Now that Alan Colmes has vacated his seat on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes, the leading poll is “Who should replace Alan Colmes on Hannity & Colmes?”
The first thought that comes to mind is someone with the last name of Colmes. Saves a bunch money on changing all that expensive letterhead and Fox graphics. Alan’s wife, Jocelyn, comes to mind, but I suspect she far too busy with helping Alan haul home all the death threats from liberals that he stores at the Fox News warehouse.
Jon Stewart ain’t gonna happen. The money has been on a number of other Fox libs, including Bob Beckel and Kirstie Powers. KABC Doug McIntyre and Prof. Marc Hill wouldn’t be bad at all. Confidentially, while my impartial choice would be this column’s writer, my second choice would be the one I actually believe to be perfect…Jones Radio syndicated talker, Stephanie Miller.
Why? Let me count the ways.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5… Get it?
No really. Stephanie would be perfect…for the viewers,
While it would be close, Steph tends to be a bit easier on the eyes than Alan and almost as attractive as Sean.
Colmes came out of the standup comedy world where he was once very funny. So did Steph, except she is still funny. Alan’s funny, just not on H&C.
Stephanie and Sean go way back.
I was witness to - and reported - his celebrated hug of the liberal temptress at a beachfront Southern California hotel. While there were hundreds other radio personalities in the lobby at the time, to my knowledge, Sean never once hugged Glen Beck or Phil Hendrie. Mark Levin, maybe. But the point is, he’s obviously pretty selective who he puts his hunky far-right arms around and despite political differences, Sean’s obviously pretty comfortable with Ms Miller. He’s been on Steph’s show and Steph has guested on Hannity & Colmes. She has an outstanding grasp of the intricacies and innuendo concerning the political world so… Sorry, couldn’t keep a straight face. Still, she’s quick and isn’t afraid to stand up to adversarial guests. In fact, they’d be more likely to wilt under her wit, charm and fluttering (fake) lashes than to fight back.
A match made in political adversary heaven, Hannity & Miller would double their present audience (the Left needs something to watch besides Olbermann, Maddow and 30 Rock). If Fox News wanted to really break some new ground under the onslaught of a painful (to Fox) four to eight years under Obama, why not put together the two most gorgeous faces in talk radio?
Steph could start tomorrow. She travels lightly. A box of wine and hilarious sidekick Jim Ward stuffed in her pocket.
If for nothing else it would be a nightly treat to hear Bill O’Reilly have to spit out the words, “Stay tuned for Sean Hannity and Stephanie Miller.”

Special Message For You...
Stephanie Miller is great, and her show is hilarious. I am still aggravated with Sirius for taking her entire three hour show off the radio.
She would be a great co-host with Hannity. She would not take his crap, and would actually stand up to him–something definitely needed.
Bring her on! She will be a great adversary for Hannity.
Please! Stop validating Hannity, the excrement! Let him vanish unnoticed! Every mention of him feeds the evil he stands for!
Sorry. The Fox boys keep me alive. The material writes itself.

I adore Stephanie and her “mooks” and listen to them every day on my freeway drive. The only bad thing about this is that I’d have to actually start watching Fox and I’d hate to boost their ratings–also I couldn’t let anything interfere with my Keith & Rachel time. It is a very interesting idea and Fox needs to do something to shake up their tired old game and Stephanie would make Sean look totally idiotic–what fun!
Stephanie is a great talent all by herself. It should be kept that way. I agree with the commenter who said that to partner Stephanie with Hannity would legitimize and validate the fat, hairy worm. Why do that? Let him die alone on the Fox vine. Why help Fox by giving them Ms. Miller? Plus, the “ick factor” of Hannity oggling Ms.Miller would be too much.
Sean is an insult to Stephanie’s humor and intelligence; even if her “intelligence” is culled through the clouded experiences under the influence known as boxed wine. She hardly needs more damage control than already necessary added to her hangovers. Sean would be the death knell of her boxed wine experiences and possibly her career.
How about replacing Colmes AND Hannity with Stephanie Miller? That’s a change I could go for.
Fox would never go for it, she might slip a little truth into their programming.
Seriously, it would be a coup for FOX—But FOX
is: C-H-I-C-K-E-N
But if they do it, it might be a chicken coup, eh?
Sorry, Stephanie is to nice to go opposite slant head Hannity. Randie Rhodes would be a much better choice.
