Well ride the gay taxi!

Maybe his assistant was the first to finish Going Rogue?

So who's going to lose a show at FOX?
My money is on Greta, followed by Cavuto, then Shep.

That was neither thoughtful nor nuanced. Very disappointing.

I KNOW. I totally broke ALL MY RULES. "What would I like to say about Lou Dobbs, I thought to myself?" And then I thought: fuck you, Lou Dobbs, you have made me angry one time too many, I am going to LASH OUT AT YOU ON MY BLOG.

LOLS.

You'd have more control over your emotions if we had a border fence... Or perhaps an everlasting border fire.

I totally agree with your summation here, and now feel slightly smarter.

I hope Kitty Pilgrim will take over. She's good, but what's an ambitious girl to do when the boss is a dick?

hockeymom

I think you can find the answer to that on Mad Men.
Or Letterman.

Choire Sicha

You're smarter already.

7:01: Dobbs still on the air, douchey.

mathnet

Not a word! He is burying the lead, talking about the war or something!

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

Here it is!

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

He's talking about The Scorpions.

Clarence Rosario

7:07: Dobbs resigns. He's running for office?!?!?!

Please expound, I only get the basics!

A number of options! He'll let us know!

Choire Sicha

DO ANY OF THEM RHYME WITH "LOCKS" AND ARE GETTING AN INTERVIEW WITH OBAMA NEXT WEEK?

Clarence Rosario

He's opening a chicken franchise?!?!?!

garge
garge (#736)

You know, John Wayne Gacy managed a KFC, which was founded by Colonel Sanders, and it is Veteran's Day, so it all comes full circle. Right?!?!

If that's it, though, why tonight, effective immediately?

garge

So they will have one more thing in common?

Choire Sicha

BECAUSE HE HAS TO GO ON BOOK TOUR WITH HER STARTING NEXT WEEK?

YOU ARE ALL RIGHT

There must be a sex tape coming out.

He's Prejean's ex-boyfriend.

garge
garge (#736)

Hmm, if that were the case, she wouldn't have had to borrow from the state of California for the implants.

sox

Maybe she's carrying his child?

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

Or is his child.

garge

OR, his IP address was found to be the source of the original upload of the masturbation video, which he bought from her ex-bf with a cashier's check, for which he later filed a reimbursement form? AND they got him on the 7-11 surveillance video when purchasing the check??

Well I don't see how he could be going to Fox News after talking about how bad partisanship is for America. Oh wait! This is Dobbs!

mathnet

He is quitting to smoke pot!

With his secret gay lover, Barney "I'm not much of an outdoorsman" Frank!

I know for a FACT Barney has better taste!

IT'S A VETERAN'S DAY MIRACLE!!

Really though, is Pilgrim it? Because she really annoys me, for shallow reasons that bring me shame.

Bittersweet

Nope, John King, says Yahoo News.

Will he be moving to El Paso to stand guard on America's borders, forever? Please?

Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Pryce & Dobbs

HeyThatsMyBike

Hahaha. Now with more hatred of Latinos!

Natasha Vargas-Cooper

No latinos in the lobby!

LondonLee

Just when he got his foot in the door.

"Longtime CNN anchor Lou Dobbs told viewers Wednesday night that he is leaving the network" is all CNN has to say?

Choire Sicha

That means "IT WAS NOT AMICABLE."

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

But they've only kept him around so they could claim to be non-partisan or balanced or whatever, right? I mean his ratings have been for shit. Aren't they glad to see him go? Oh, or are you suggesting he was actually forced out?

Choire Sicha

Oh he so quit. He was surely sick of them riding his neck. I would be too, if I were him. It's like a competition of annoyingness.

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

that we all WIN!

barnhouse

He quit so he wouldn't get fired, yay schadenfreude.

This is at least five times longer than CNN has ever been allowed to display its programming on my TV between 7 and 8 PM EST.

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

OMG who is this ASSSSSSHOOOOOOOOOOOLE who's talking about the right to be heard WHEN YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE

mathnet

Forget swine flu! I need my P.C. virus vaccine!

Natasha Vargas-Cooper

DOES THIS MEAN MORE AC/360 AIRTIME????? *fingers crossed*

mathnet

I WILL WATCH THE WHOLE THING THREE TIMES EACH NIGHT JONATHAN KLEIN

Choire Sicha

Oh man. OKAY I am going to find some DINNER. Please text me if anything important happens!

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

As if you won't just know it FROM OUR MINDS

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

Is it because this is his swan song, or is he always this off-the-rails? (I wasn't kidding. I really have never been able to watch the show before, even for the sake of irony or masochism.)

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

I am watching Bill O'Reilly now, God help me.

garge

*casts a virtual life-preserver*

Choire Sicha

Girl, you on your own now.

mathnet
mathnet (#27)

Thank you for trying to save me again. I've just gone to check the garage. Nope! No self-control there either!

I tuned in because I'm wondering if they'll mention/discuss the Dobbs resignation on Fox News. Nothing yet. I don't think he's headed there. Being a leader in continuing to carry "the banner of advocacy journalism" sounds creepy and RNC-y and Palin book tour-y to me.

Just so you know, Planned Parenthood is an abortion mill, trying to increase their abortion numbers in this down economy.

Okay, sweetie, it's time to turn it off and read a book or something.

Still I think I'm going to live

Jokes on them! Everyone knows abortions go up when the stock market does down. It's a recession-proof industry!

downtheroadapiece

My money is on him taking up the RNC chair. I'm hopeful that will require a fight to the death against Steele first. I also considered putting odds on him being Rush's personal footstool/starfish polisher. But the other option was less emotionally scaring of the two routes so I'm sticking with that. Cage match!

It's for the best. Tijuana needed a weatherman.
