      Lou's been under a lot of stress...

      Lou-Lou,
      Congress has been debating health care for several months. ...If the American people haven't been following along then that's their fault.

      The only thing that's moving too fast for you is your ratings, as they slide very quickly down the toilet.

        He was being very rude to the guest but typically accused his guest of being rude. Dobbs is getting more irrational by the day.

      I'd love to see a written transcript of this "debate".

      "But I..."
      "No"
      "You dont have a finished product until..."
      "Are you really truly trying to intruct us..."
      "No, I'm just.."
      "If this is such a great process..."
      "Did I say it was a great process..."
      "So its not a great pro...."
      "you...but...there's a process"

      I do not care one iota what CNN management says in the papers. No one is going to convince me that they sit in private watching that without fretting over what to do with this problem. There's no way they can use reason on him in a private sitdown; he's reason-proof at this point, he's simply in "Lou the patriot" character overload. If they tried to pull on the reins, he'd just go hop up on a cross and cry about how he's being censored by dark forces.

      CNN management, I'll tell you exactly what you need to do with your problem. Fire his sorry azz.

        Yeah, Lou has got his martyr mojo working right now. And NOONE will stop him from being martyred.

        Absolutely 100% correct, overmars.

        CNN knows they have a huge problem. A guy that should have been let go long ago for consistent dismal ratings wrapped himself in the flag and stopped taking his meds when nobody was looking.

        Sooner, rather than later, they'll have to end the sideshow. I think they're using the slack summer season to put a little distance between Loony Lou's birther dance and his inevitable firing. It might work, it might not, but either way, Loony Lou's time at CNN is no longer being talked about in years.

          Lou's got his pile...

          Put his sad ass out to pasture. He's probably worth, what, $10, $12 million at this point.

          It's all good, isn't it Lou?

          Bye, bye, Lou.

      I think what everyone misses is that Lou wants to be fired! Then he can go out and claim that he is a martyr to the lib media, and rack in millions of dollars from every source that is not journalism.

      If anyone is rude, it's you, Lou, not your guest. You complained that your guest interrupted...look in the mirror. Move on and find another career.

      I do not understand why Lou and others are continuously defending people who "don't know whats going on." Its no one's fault but their own.

      Dobbs really has shown his true colors. He is the perfect example of the problems we are having in the townhall meetings. Anybody that wants to get the fundemental points about the health care bill out is interrupted. Dobbs is a joke.....
