The (Other) Great Orange Satan Quits

The secret's out.But is he moving to Fox?

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views made him a TV lightning rod, plans to announce Wednesday that he is leaving the network, two network employees said.

Said resignation is to be announced on tonight’s program, which begins a few minutes from this post. It will also apparently be his last.

Lou Dobbs QuitWatch #2: first story focuses on how “political correctness” prevented military from looking into Hasan. He’ll probably wait until the end to drop the bomb.

What would you have to do to get fired if you were Lou Dobbs? Besides your actual show, that is.

Boo, fucking, hoo…

@blogenfreude:

I don’t think you can be fired if you are the “Giant Gaping Asshole of the Universe”. It’s a hereditary thing.

@blogenfreude: MSNBC needs Uncle Pat to prove they’re not librul. Starbucks Joe is too moderate.
