I'M VOTING FOR SARAH...AND SO ARE A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE

Your humble correspondent, as diligent as ever, carefully checked out much of the post-debate analysis and spin last evening. Perhaps the highlight of all such activity, chock full of drama, was this heated exchange between Dick Morris and Alan Colmes on FOX News. The first part of this video shows Morris giving effusive praise of Sarah Palin's performance in last night's debate. The sparks begin to fly soon after the two-minute mark when Colmes cuts in to robotically attempt to run through his list of obvious talking points which Morris took great offense to (emphasis mine):

PING!
Who? You mean Johnny and Ed?...............
Saw it..Loved it. ..The Hannity and Bozo show was great.
I was favorably impressed by Morris in that exchange. He surprised me a lot. He nailed Colmes to the floor with a nail gun and left Colmes lying there wounded and bleeding.
It was great TV.
I think Morris was right about Colmes reading talking points, but I think he should have been kinder in pointing it out. Shame works better than assault.
Colmes really needs to trust his instincts. He blew that one badly. And having Morris point out what was so obvious is a revelation about Colmes. Hannity wouldn’t have done it. When on camera wing it, trust your instincts.
More importantly, simply be honest. If Palin did well, and you think so, say it. Don’t let some handler put words in your mouth. Then you look like someone’s stooge.
Morris’ outrage was interesting. Part of his anger was about his working hard to prepare as a Fox analyst and the least Colmes can do is respect that by standing up and speaking what Colmes thinks.
Morris was right on the money and devastating with that point. He and O’Reilly both overdid their points a bit last night, but both were right. Colmes was clearly reading points, and Frank was clear filibustering the time clock.
That is what I have always thought of Alan Colmbes. He just reads the talking points off a list.
Morris smacked him up. I am sure he knows that is how they ran it during the Clinton years. Just hand the “reporter” the list of talking points and have them read it over and over!
Colmes seemed subdued for the rest of the show.
Morris looked like he was ready to fight. I am not sure what was going on there. Alan always spews these talking points so what else is new.
A robot zombie! Alan Colmes is the most untelegenic person I've ever seen. How he ever got a job on camera is beyond me. All he ever does is click off talking points...he can never make an intelligent comment about anything. He just reads the talking points and if the conversation veers off into another direction he just picks up his paper and starts re-reading his talking points.
Colmes was an idiot to start spewing about McCain’s voting record when discussing the VP Debate!
He just looked like and idiot and Dick Morris called him on it.
Morris has a long way to go to make up for electing Clinton.
Great stuff. What was that last fleeting comment from Colmes to Morris about “liking new management” or something to that effect?
He is a well paid punching bag and has been doing it for a while.
I’m afraid to say that Hannity is his counter in that regard. They mimic each other in opposite political spectrums, but both are very similiar in their style and intellect IMO.
I do think Sean seems like a nice guy though.
I was so happy that DICK called Colmes out on repeating those stupid DIMO talking points. It was clear what forehead was trying to do. Hopefully, we have pulled back the curtain on the MSM who are in the tank for Obama.
