    Ken Auletta's profile of Dobbs had some good nuggets, iirc:

    [www.newyorker.com]

    He's not just a racist, xenophobic populist demagogue... he's also a rage-filled egomaniac and pompous, hypocritical snob. #loudobbs

    "Rigorous and empirical thought"?!?!? Dirt-Dobber Lou doesn't get to utter those words, understand? Hey, Lou, make yourself at home with phrases more fitting your style: invective spewing, fanning the flames of supernova-sized fireballs of ignorance, things along those lines.

    And as far as climate change goes, Dirt-Dobber, after that last blast of bombast (Has anyone ever seen 2:52 feel more like an eternity? I felt like I had booked passage on the Edmond Fitzgerald, for god's sake!), the polar ice caps don't stand a chance. Who gave you the idea that anyone cares about what you think and where you're going?

    You mentioned something about engaging in constructive problem solving, a near-impossible objective when you, sir, embody the problem. Do the honorable thing: go fall on your sword. And if you don't have the decency to do that, just put on that nice pointy hat, you know, the one that fits you so snugly. Now go sit on the newspapers we put on the floor in the corner. And try not to make an even bigger mess of things than you already have... #loudobbs

    I am so glad to hear that Dobbs will continue to carry the banner of "advocacy journalism" elsewhere.

    I need him to continue to tackle such burning questions as "Was the Ft. Hood shooting the BIGGEST TERROR ATTACK SINCE 9/11?!?!" and "Mexico or China, which group of non-Aryans will DESTROY AMERICA FIRST?!?!?".

    So informative! #loudobbs

    @Cicada: If he moves to FOX (and face it, where else is he going?), he'll be well positioned to investigate that age-old mystery: did Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990? Because it keeps me up at night and I really need an answer to that question. You know, since Beck won't deny it and all.

    @OrneryBabe: Even worse, Glenn Beck has tried to silence anyone asking whether he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. What is he hiding?!?

    I doubt that Lou will get to the bottom of the question though, since I have it on good authority that he supplied the rohypnol that Glenn used to sedate that poor girl. #loudobbs

    @Cicada: It gets worse, Cicada. In 1962, a young co-ed at Dickinson College named Fawn Leibowitz died mysteriously- her fiancè was distraught- yet Beck has never denied that his father dismembered that poor girl and buried her in a shallow grave. Did young Glenn help? Does murder run in the Beck family? The stonewalling speaks volumes, I think. #loudobbs

    @Cicada: It's just so easy to categorically deny the whole thing and put this to bed once and for all. Why won't Beck do this? His silence speaks volumes.

    But it sounds like perhaps an investigation into Lou Dobbs is in order, too. #loudobbs

    In reply to Lou Dobbs To Become Emigrant Refugee from CNN
    "Winds of Change", and references to the "last six months" seem pretty clear dog-whistles that it's Obama he loathes. And his grandiose description of how he wants to be a "leader" highly indicates to me that it's not FOX he'll be headed to. He will align with one of a dozen right-wing "think-tanks" who would love to have and fund him, and join the operation to make Obama a one-term President.

    But what a pompous ass. Released from his contract or not, such a rapid departure smells of burnt bridges, and he's so high on himself he doesn't care. I don't think he'll return to newsreading, even at Faux. He's on a mission to save us now from dusky interlopers.. everywhere. #loudobbs

    Unfortunately, I think Dobbs' brand of low-ratings, unhinged, xenophobic racism will fit in nicely in Fox's stable of high-ratings, unhinged, xenophobic racists. #loudobbs
