Sorry to hear this. One of the few liberals who could actually hold a conversation. I disagreed with most of what he said (Kelo being a notable exception), but he was one who disagreed honorably and civilly.
RIP, Alan.
In 1998 Alan Colmes did a beautiful interview with Gene Shepherd (decades famous late night radio personality at WOR New York for many years.)Gene’s claim to fame was writing
“A Christmas Story” and he also adapted it to the film version we all love and also did most of the background dialog.
