I won't shed a tear for the old boy. He had a long run. Who will miss his anti-immigrant rants? I stopped tuning in to CNN a good while ago.
From CNN:
This will be my last broadcast here on CNN, where I have worked for most of the past 30 years and where I have many friends and colleagues whom I admire deeply and respect greatly
....
I've talked extensively with Jonathan Klein; Jon's the president of CNN, and as a result of those talks, Jon and I have agreed to a release from my contract that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.
At this point, I'm considering a number of options and directions and I assure you I will let you know when I set my course.
Yes Lou, please let us know. Does Fox News beckon?
From Politico - Keith Olbermann on Dobbs:
I can only say that I always wondered if his stance on immigrants, legal or otherwise, took a bigger toll on him than on the immigrants. This is, whether he or others will admit it, a Hispanic issue, and not only are Lou's wife and kids Hispanic but the daughters are in the Horse Show game, which, after the restaurant industry, is the top employer of undocumented immigrants in this country - and Lou helps pay them. If that isn't the ultimate hypocrisy, it must be the ultimate self-contradiction and very painful psychologically.
You can't make this stuff up.
I like the Twitter comments on what's next for Dobbs.

Too funny, Ann.
ReplyDeleteKeith says he should spend a few years at Telemundo.
Mimi,
ReplyDeleteI give you this in the hope you'll share it:
It gives me hope and confirms some of my suspicions about young Republicans.
"... explore new opportunities..."?
ReplyDeleteBeing désoevré is no opportunity.
Mark, that's quite a testimony. Thanks for sending the link.
ReplyDeleteGöran, Dobbs is 64 years old, and, no doubt, has enough income to choose not to "explore new opportunities" for work. However, I'm pretty sure that he wants a forum to continue his rants.
