According to our CNN source, the “most trusted name in news” is casting for a new Crossfire type of Hannity and Colmes show. Meaning: they’re auditioning liberal personalities and conservative personalities to co-host one show.

Way to really break the mold, CNN.

No word on who or what the show would be replacing or what the name of the show will be (Crossballs is already taken).

A few on the liberal side were Steve A. Smith of ESPN, Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks, Roland Martin who’s already on Campbell Brown‘s show frequently and Errol Louis a CNN contributor.

On the conservative side were radio personalities Roe Conn from Chicago, Joe Watkins from Philadelphia and Steve Malzberg from New Jersey. Plus frequent Glenn Beck fill-in Joe Pagliarulo from Texas.

So we’re guessing they’re looking for two different personalities in two different people to off-set having two in one with Lou Dobbs?

The line from the John McCain camp and the RNC has set up is that when Sarah Palin‘s experience is questioned they immediately say,”She has more experience than Barack Obama.” It’s been able to float for a couple of days. It was a long weekend. Leave it to the anti-union Republicans to make salt of the earth people like journalists work through Labor Day because that’s when they hold their convention. No wonder they got upstaged by a hurricane – they upset the teamsters and their influence is far reaching.

Anyway, this clip of Campbell Brown asking actual questions or questioning this faulty logic the lockstep has presented is awesome. We have new found respect for her.

Plus, according to our sister site TVNewser, because of Brown’s attempt at getting actual answers, McCain has canceled his interview with Larry King.
