Lou Dobbs finally quits CNN. I wonder if he's headed for the F (as in "Fox") Troop.
I don't know if Dobbs is really that critical a figure in American history, despite the convulsions on the blogosphere and in the Twito-sphere and every other sphere. It would be great if CNN -- which needed to lose Dobbs to have even the slightest credibility in positioning itself as the "objective" news channel -- used that long-wasted hour for actual investigative reporting. The chances of that are slim and none.
If Fox does for Dobbs what it did for Beck, then it's bad news for the administration.— jmc

CNN is so far gone as an "objective" news station that Dobbs had nothing to with their lack of credibility. Dobbs is probably wise to leave that sinking ship.— camtheman- CNN is never to be trusted. Go LOU, I agree, they are sinking.— stev
At least now if I get CNN on my satellite radio at 7:00 (I would never watch in the evening), I have a chance of getting the news. Glad to see Dobbs gone.
At least they have Anderson Cooper. Heh. Partisan zeal of Glenn Beck, with the personality of a used bag of tea.— Mr. Smith- Comment removed.
- OT, but of interest? Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jon Runyan is considering a run for Congress against freshman Rep. John Adler (D-N.J.), according to a report. According to a PolitickerNJ post, a GOP state lawmaker has attempted to convince Runyan to start a campaign that some believe would clear the field of candidates on the Republican side. The right tackle is not currently active on any team's roster but has not officially retired. He has not ruled out a run but it is unclear how serious he is considering the possibility. A slew of New Jersey state lawmakers and other local figures are considering a run against Adler, a Blue Dog serving in a Republican leaning district. The southern New Jersey district is widely seen as a potential pickup for the Republicans in 2010. Ocean County, which is in the district, produced a 70,000 vote plurality for governor-elect Chris Christie (R) in last week's gubernatorial elections.— Mr. Smith

- LOL! --snip-- Dunn initially refused to move to the White House, saying she wanted to spend time with her family. But when the White House's first communications director, Ellen Moran, stepped down to take a job at the Commerce Department, Dunn came aboard on an interim basis. "She's actually stayed longer that we could have imagined," Jarrett said. Jarrett, one of Obama's closest friends at the White House, said the president had expected Dunn to scale back her role for a while. --snip-- But remember, didderbops - bryanc doesn't watch Beck, and he agrees that Beck is a lunatic, and he doesn't think that Beck speaks for many Republicans, and certainly Beck doesn't speak for him. BUT HE CONSIDERS IT A VICTORY FOR BECK WHEN SOMEONE BECK GOES AFTER RESIGNS AS PLANNED. How pathetic is that?— Talking point sleuth
