Read it and weep lefties….

So sad.
Lou Dobbs, above, at the anchor desk at CNN’s New York studio in 2006, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately.
Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately.
Sitting before an image of an American flag on his television set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”
“I’m considering a number of options and directions,”
The big question is if he is leaving on his own or got canned. CNN didn’t seem to care for his birther tendencies but I won’t go into that taboo subject here. Maybe there is no room for diversity at CNN. Toe the Obama line or be gone. That would be easy to believe given their last place cable news status.
Is he going to Fox News…?
That would be awesome.
Is he going into politics…?
We will have to wait and see.
Quick addition...

Because as we all know, THAT is certainly not allowed at CNN.

I think Lou Dobbs will be running for political office....
JadedByPolitics Wednesday, November 11th at 8:31PM EST (link)He was ALMOST pushed into for the 2008 Presidential race after his EXCELLENT job on illegal immigration and he had to keep killing the rumors. I think Lou could use his name to make a move to Congress from where he lives and being a populist will probably win. I like Lou but I thought he lost his mind over the birth certificate when it was quite obvious that was NOT going to be a winning issue.

Oh my God.........
NeoKong Wednesday, November 11th at 8:49PM EST (link)Can you imagine that…..?
How could the leftie media try to smear him when he walked among them for so many years?
He knows all their secrets.
He would redefine the word moderate.
He would be untouchable.

I cannot hardly wait to hear what Lou has to say about CNN...
JadedByPolitics Wednesday, November 11th at 9:12PM EST (link)I wonder how long he is under contract and unable to speak. I don’t care because the minute he writes a book on the LEFTIST media I will be buying it!

Senator Lou Dobbs?
$peciallist Wednesday, November 11th at 11:25PM EST (link)1. Dobbs is a Texan
2. Kay Bailey Hutchison is retiring
3. Dobbs is retiring for ideological differences.
hmmm
Shameless self-promotion
Erick Erickson Wednesday, November 11th at 9:06PM EST (link)I think the Erick News Hour on CNN would be an awesome replacement for Dobbs.
Who will stand on either hand and keep this bridge with me?
Why don't you go for a network that has some viewers?
janis Wednesday, November 11th at 9:48PM EST (link)You can take Shep Smith’s place at Fox. My 82 year old sharp as a tack aunt has referred to him as “Pretty Boy” in tones dripping with contempt for some years now. You, she’d like.
Ouch....
NeoKong Wednesday, November 11th at 9:52PM EST (link)That’s gonna leave a mark.

Lou Dobbs is a protectionist populist when it comes to trade

Hold off on that Mammogram for 10 years
Dobbs was doing God's work during the '07 amnesty push.
Third Street Thursday, November 12th at 2:18AM EST (link)I believe its failure was due in no small part to his efforts. And make no mistake, amnesty is next on our fake president’s agenda so we’d do well not to take Dobbs for granted, and hope he’ll be on the air to join that fight when it comes.
This is truly the end of an era for CNN… Dobbs was with them from the very beginning. But it seems like they’re on a little “moderate purge” of their own.
By the way, get a load of the first minute of this!
