The (Other) Great Orange Satan Quits
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 to Quit CNN [NYT]
Update: And at 7:08, it’s official. Lou says he’s considering “a number of options,” but he’s gone from CNN after tonight.
Glenn Beck moved to Fox – this makes sense in that context.
Lou Dobbs QuitWatch #1: pitched as “Mr. Independent” in the teaser, but no hints.
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.
Lou Dobbs QuitWatch #3: IT’S OFFICIAL.
What would you have to do to get fired if you were Lou Dobbs? Besides your actual show, that is.
Boo, fucking, hoo…
There’s a special place in Hell reserved for these people, and that place is called Fox News.
@Serolf Divad: That, or space.com.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: Here’s the question: Why Wednesday? Why couldn’t he finish out the week? Why was even his staff surprised?
@nojo:
My money is on a live boy. A live mexican boy, to be exact.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: What would Pat Buchanan have to do to get fired? He hasn’t done it yet.
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.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: *sigh* If only we were that lucky.
