I admit- I quit watching CNN when they hired Nancy Grace, but when I did watch it I always enjoyed Lou. (In fact he kept me company during the early stages of labor with Weblord) I don't know if he's looking for attention or if having to listen to Nancy's whinging over the years have caused him to totally wig out.

Lou Dobbs challenges his own CNN network

By DAVID BAUDER (AP) – 5 hours ago

NEW YORK — He's become a publicity nightmare for CNN, embarrassed his boss and hosted a show that seemed to contradict the network's "no bias" brand. And on top of all that, his ratings are slipping.

How does Lou Dobbs keep his job?

It's not a simple answer. CNN insists it is standing behind Dobbs, despite calls for his head from critics of his reporting on "birthers" — those who believe President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States despite convincing evidence to the contrary. The "birthers" believe Obama was born in Kenya, and thus not eligible to be president.

Dobbs' work has been so unpopular that even Ann Coulter has criticized him.

Dobbs has acknowledged that he believes Obama was born in Hawaii. But he gives airtime to disbelievers, and has said the president should try to put questions fully to rest by releasing a long version of his birth certificate. He's twice done stories on his show after the public leak of a memo from CNN U.S. President Jon Klein saying that "it seems this story is dead."

Klein said those stories were OK because they were about the controversy and weren't actually questioning the facts. But critics suggest Klein is parsing words, that even raising the issue lends it credence.

Joked The Washington Post's Lisa de Moraes: it "explains their upcoming documentary: `The World: Flat. We Report — You Decide.'"

These birthers are hilarious. They pull this stuff out of their asses then get all offended when everyone treats them like the whack jobs they are.

Until a real birth certificate is produced you are just a much a whack job. Just that you're a Kool Aid whack job.

The birth certificate has been produced. A certificate of live birth is what Hawaii issues. His actual birth certificate has been viewed and touched by multiple parties.

Only certifiable nuts are still saying otherwise. Or people who watch FoxNews. Could be the same difference. It's hard to tell.

There was a whole thread on pinecam about his time at occidental college and how he had gotten a fulbright scholarship as a foreigner, and how he attended there under his step dads name...turns out the article they got all this info from was an April Fools Joke from the AP press.....too funny, lots of egg on faces there.

LOL! It looks like you argued them to a standstill. They'll have to go back and read some blogs to cache some new material.

it was too easy....

fortunately I'm going to take a break from all this and spend a couple weeks on the road. We're heading to Lake Erie, camping at the marina, spending a lot of time on my brothers boat. My favorite slolum ski is strapped to the back of the RV.....told my brother he could keep it as long as he takes me water skiing until I either holler "uncle" or break a leg!!!!

You and gringa keep up the good work, I'll try and check in if I get a chance.
