Lou Dobbs leaves CNN

Early reports indicate he's going cross the border to become an illegal in Mexico where he can buy cheap socialist gas for his Bentley.

Pray he doesn't go to Fox news.

He is probably headed for FOX.

Ahhhhhh! we are going to miss Kieth Olbermans voice of him.

i bet he goes to new mexico to become a minuteman and wanders into the desert never to be heard from again.

So long, farewell, we're glad to say good bye
if only you would slip into oblivion
the world be a safer place.

From the article:

"And some leaders in media politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here on CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving."

Dobbs said he "talked extensively" with CNN President Jonathan Klein and "we have agreed to a release from my contract that will enable me to pursue new opportunities."

Hmmmm...

Oh well... dude is 60 somethin' I think the make up he wears and the blood pressure he gets from believing his lies is gonna send him six feet under. Can't w8 for his debut on Fox!

He's going to Fox news...

Hallelujah, thank you Jesus, now pass the bisquits and gravy. Bye Bye Lou, can't say that I'll miss you.

What? NO WAY!

He worked at CNN for 30 years?!
Oh, and he's leaving. Whoo-hoo.

How long before we see ol' Lou on Faxed News?

I don't think he is headed for Fox News, though, I'm sure they'll offer him a job.

Lou, don't make the same mistake that Glenn Beck did.

Hopefully he'll choke on a burrito!! LOL

Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. ( l )

Why watch news on TV? I don't get it.

I doubt Fox News will take him given the economic and trade policies the channel and its commentators support (although I suppose he could change his tune for the right amount of money).

Sounds more like he's getting ready to run for office, though I doubt it.

Hahahahhaha!
Now CNN goes to what?
11th, 12th place with local cable access and MSNBC?
Good for Lou!

Yeah i agree with UWAZell maybe he wants to be like Al Franken

What ever happened to free speech. Is the extreme right the only ones to report the bad news? Lou Dobbs had some rights but then some extreme leftists are forcing him out. We have too many wild organizations with too much power. The American people are quiet as usual. We have AIPAC and many other organizations running this country while the public wallows in hopelessness. Legal Latinos have every right to live here in this country. There were still plenty of Latinos living here before and after the Alamo and San Jacinto and they have been serving this country as US Citizens. Corruption is so bad in Mexice that people seek all means to enter the USA. Understood. But I do not hear of so much hate for ayone like Dobbs when Limbaugh, Hannity and others tries to incite hate among the American people. Nobody has the guts to speak up about the real Problems we have like the Federal Reserve Banks and the moneymen who have found all sorts of criminal ways to manufacture wealth from fraud like Derivatives and bundled mortages that helped to bring this country down. Dobbs had nothing to do with this But Bush and his Moneyfriends did it all and nobody is making any noises about The Bush Gang. Why?? Is specific propaganda and hate mongers that powerful? Wake up only less than 2,000 politicians control your lives and no one does anything to change it. Sad.

Looks like ol' Lou shot himself in the foot by pushing the "birther" issue. Probably headed to Fox "News" where he'll be serving coffee to Hannity.

I hope he goes to Fox and heads up a campaign to get all of the Illegals out of this Country!
I have been looking for a job for months and see these non-Americans doing my work. I want a job. Get them out of here already!

need to take a century or two and recharge in the ol' coffin. DND unless SWF w/ pretty neck.

I think some things should be cleared up. Dobbs was basically forced out because he didn't stick to CNN's no "bs" policy (Dobbs liked spewing opinions over facts).

"Months ago the president of CNN/U.S., Jonathan Klein, offered a choice to Lou Dobbs, the channel’s most outspoken anchor. Mr. Dobbs could vent his opinions on radio and anchor an objective newscast on television, or he could leave CNN.

Lou Dobbs, seen at a demonstration last year, had been asked to drop his conservative talk on TV or take his views to radio.

For a time, Mr. Dobbs did tone down his TV rhetoric, but on Wednesday he made a more drastic decision: He chose opinion" ...

In addition, It seems FOX "News" doesn't even want him

"At the time Mr. Dobbs was characterized by people close to him as a potential hire for the Fox Business Network. But a Fox representative said Wednesday, 'We have not had any discussions with Lou Dobbs for Fox News or Fox Business.'”

cnn just improved through addition by subtraction.
