      He should just shop his resume at Fox. He's really giving CNN a bad reputation right now.

        Hannity needs a partner...

        How about "Hannity and Dobbs." Lou can pretend he's the liberal.

          ok so Dobbs cant voice his opinion but the bathtub boy and rachel maddow can? That sounds fair. I thought we lived in a free country. I thought we had the freedom to believe what we want to. I may not agree with maddow or olberman but they have a right to say what they want. Just as hannity does. You choose not to watch or listen if you dont want them to succeed. The thing is conservatives are dominating libs in ratings and in book sales. Looks like we arent going anywhere.

            Ratings and book sales...HIGH. Looks like the ratings and book sales did wonders in 2006 and 2008. Please STAY, please. No one here will ever ask your leaders to leave. They are the best vote getters and free advertising that money can buy. What is your end of the book sales or the high ratings?...your money you fool. The Barnums of the world have you convinced you are on a mission..you are, to send them money and make them rich while people like you go out and do thier bidding.

            P.S. The truth and facts of your highly rated shows..very low if existent at all.

              you won in 2006 because bush mishandled iraq. You won in 2008 because bush tried to be too moderate. If you remember your liberal congress had a lower approval rating than bush. Now you cant blame us for your failures. Your own party disagrees with you. Reminds me alot of 1980. You have filibuster proof majorities and still cant pass your agenda. I guarantee we will pick up at least 5 senate seats and 20 house seats in 2010. Obamas poll numbers are dropping fast. The dems dont want to be associated with him. He is a dem version of bush in the fact that his own party doesnt like him.

            gwadsworth, nobody said Dobbs can't voice his opinion. He's just being called on the fact that is his opinion, and only his opinion, which upholds the name calling he is indulging in. That's not reporting or journalism. Heck, it's not even a talking head -reading- the news. It's not news at all. It's just Lou, running his mouth, and trying to get out of the birther hole by digging deeper and deeper and deeper.

            Hey, Lou? I understand how your creativity can fail you when you need it most, so I'll help out a little. If you are going to convene a group of thugs, (like Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, and Rice) then you could call it a murder of thugs. Okay?

            Who said Dobbs can't voice his opinion? Are we not free to call him on his BS? my opinion? He's a jackass and a liar and a racist. Sorry you don't think I have a right to say those things.

              Nobody. It's just another tired old Conservative Straw Man- when they criticize Democrats, they are exercising their Constitutionally protected freedom of speech. But when we criticize them, we are trying to "shut them up." Conservatives can hold both those ideas in their brains at the same time because there's so much empty space in there.

            ok so Dobbs cant voice his opinion G-Wad

            Why do wingnuts have such a hard time with this? Any response to their bs, and they start crying censorship.

            It's free speech, not unanswered free speech. Is it that difficult to understand that other people have the same rights as you do?

            BTW, "thug" & "snitch" are the words of the day.

            News Flash, Gwads...

            You dominate in cable where busting through a million viewers in a night is rare and considered a smash. Hardly capturing the majority of Americans who still watch MSM.

            You dominate in book sales--but not on the main lists and not without bulk special interest buying. If these books had to compete in the larger marketplace, they'd be a blip.

            But if ratings and numbers mean some sort of superiority, then just remember November 4th.

        Speaking of expertise, I find it funny that Dobbs accuses MSNBC of having "manufactured" a story as if he hasn't made a career out of it.

        At least, Lou should try to regain some dignity on his way out. Instead he looks more and more pathetic every day...and now he's reduced to name calling. Sad...

          He should apologise the Chistene romans and Kitty Pilgrim for being associated with this hot air machine. I am sure this association is not helpful in their career as real journalists. I am sure Dobbs actually believes the manure he is peddling.

      did you really want to use the word " coven " ??/


      A Coven or covan is a name used to describe a gathering of witches or in some cases vampires. Due to the word's association with witches, a gathering of Wiccans, followers of the witchcraft-based neopagan religion of Wicca, is described as a coven.

      The word was originally a late medieval Scots word (circa 1500) meaning a gathering of any kind, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. It derives from the Latin root word convenire meaning to come together or to gather, which also gave rise to the English word convene. The first recorded use of it being applied to witches comes much later, from 1662 in the witch-trial of Isobel Gowdie, which describes a coven of 13 members.

      The word coven remained largely unused in English until 1921 when Margaret Murray promoted the idea, now much disputed, that all witches across Europe met in groups of thirteen which they called 'covens'.[1]

      A real inspirational show would be Louie,Seanny,Glenny and Rushy
      all at one sitting and their scripts would all be the same. Oh, I forgot, their scripts are already the same.
