After years of The morally superior Sean Hannity run intellectual circles around the liberal hippie Alan Colmes, we are finally going to get what we True Christian(tm) viewers really want: Pure Hannity. I say good riddance to bad rubbish. That Colmes wierdo was a drag on Fox News from the start, and probably a terrorist as well. 
We all wish Sean Hannity luck in his upcoming new solo Fox News programs. I am particularly looking forward to his 20-part special on torture. 
Hannity and Colmes split up
Fox News announced that after 12 years, Alan Colmes will be leaving the top-rated "Hannity & Colmes" at the end of the year.
“I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network," Colmes said in a statement. "Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years.”
Sean Hannity said Colmes was "a remarkable co-host (for a liberal idiot)," "great friend (if you need someone to carry your luggage in an airport)," and "skillful debate partner (who had the good sense to lose every time).”
Colmes will remain a Fox commentator, and continue hosting "The Alan Colmes Show" on Fox News Radio. Also, he's developing a weekend show.
So will it just be the "The Sean Hannity Show" (as on the radio) or take the name of the weekly Fox show, "Hannity's America?" In the release, published after the jump, there's no mention of Hannity seeking a new liberal co-host, so I assume he's on his own, but can't say for sure. I've put the question to Fox and will update when available.
UPDATE: A Fox spokesperson said it has not yet been determined, but the NY Times hears that Hannity may go it alone. Also, Hannity talks about his true feelings about Colmes in an upcoming Bill O'Reilly interview.
