Jon Stewart Will Miss Lou Dobbs, But He Can See Him Monday On O’Reilly

Jon Stewart said his goodbye to Lou Dobbs last night on The Daily Show, but he won’t have to wait too long to see him back on cable news.

Dobbs will be on The O’Reilly Factor Monday night.

After playing part of the video of Dobbs addressing his viewers about his CNN exit, Stewart decided on a parallel. “Lou Dobbs is going Palin, he’s going rogue!,” he said. “Lou Dobbs is saying the problems we are facing are too important for me, Lou Dobbs, to stay at my job.”

Stewart joked about why Dobbs needing a platform for his views, since he already has an hour-long show each night on CNN. Of course, that very well could be the reason he left – CNN doesn’t want Dobbs espousing his opinions on the air, they want him to do a news program. (I know, I know, Stewart’s a comedian.)

Stewart wished Dobbs “buena suerte” in the future, but we know one of those future plans already. Daily Finance is reporting Dobbs will stop by Fox News for an interview with Bill O’Reilly on Monday night. This summer, Dobbs tried to do just that – but the interview got vetoed by CNN. Now that he’s free from the network, he’s not wasting any time to get on the top rated cable news show.

• Stewart also weighed in on Sean Hannity’s apology.

Here’s the Daily Show clip:

Here’s something interesting… Jon Stewart (although the sketch was overall pretty funny)… re-edited Hannity’s apology.

Here’s the original text from the other thread:

“And finally tonight, although it pains me to say this, Jon Stewart? Comedy Central? He was right. Now on his program last night, he mentioned that we had played some incorrect video on this program last week while talking about the Republican healthcare rally on Capitol Hill. He was correct, we screwed up, we aired some video of a rally in September, along with a video from the actual event. It was an inadvertant [sic] mistake, but a mistake nonetheless, so Mr. Stewart. you were right, we apologize. But by the way, I wanna thank you, and all your writers, for watching. (Laughter)”

When we talked about it there, I pulled out this line as the most important, as it suggests that there was a real attempt to show the real video, and confusion on some of the other available b-roll: ” He was correct, we screwed up, we aired some video of a rally in September, along with a video from the actual event.”

Funny enough… guess which line was edited out of the Stewart piece?

Hmmm… I wonder why…

I predict that Lou Dobbs will now become Glen Beck’s sidekick ala Ed McMahon.
Rather then contagious laughter, Lou will cry crocodile tears on cue to Beck’s mad rants on the downfall of white male hegemony.

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Supreme Court Will Not Overrule ‘Deem and Pass’

by Frances Martel | 5:44 pm, Friday

video

Bad news for Republicans should they be counting on using the Supreme Court as a last resort to block the Senate health care reform bill. Jeffrey Toobin visited Rick Sanchez today to talk about the chances of success Republicans will have if they try to legally oppose a "deem and pass" vote that would indirectly put the bill on the President's desk, and he didn't waste any time in telling the GOP that, quite simply, it's not going to happen.

CNN’s John King, USA Premieres On Web With Rehearsal Show

by Steve Krakauer | 4:47 pm, Friday

video

There are two very distinct things to note about the way CNN has introduced the upcoming 7pmET show John King, USA to its audience - the show itself and the way it happened. John King hosted a trial run of the program today on CNN.com/live, which gave a sneak peek at what the show will be, but also gave viewers a chance to give their take on the first look.
