Lou Dobbs Bashes His Potential Future Fox Business Colleague John Stossel

Who is Lou Dobbs mad at now?

No, not Keith Olbermann or anyone on MSNBC, or Pres. Obama or anyone in the White House. How about John Stossel? You know, the newly hired analyst at Fox Business Network (the same outfit Dobbs is rumored to be headed to!)

Dobbs was on the radio bashing John Stossel, who he said was “weighing in with his own brand of myopic idiocy.” What bothered Dobbs? He was mad about what Stossel said about him on Glenn Beck’s show.

“What a self-important ass,” said Dobbs. “He’s just unbelievable. He does’t understand basic economics, he doesn’t’ understand my point of view, nor does he care to. He’s just a silly little trick.”

Well, then. Dobbs’ comments are especially interesting because his name was floated as another upcoming potential FBN hire. This of course still may happen – a few comments won’t affect anything. More on that next week.

Here’s the clip:

Lou, no matter where he may be, seems to have lost his lid some 3 years ago. Not exactly coherent of late.
A very angry man.

After disturbing video emerged earlier this week from an anti-health reform rally where angry protesters screamed in the face of a sitting man who wore a sign identifying that he had Parkinson's disease (and supported the reform bill) MSNBC's Hardball brought on Tim Phillips, head of the grassroots organization Americans For Prosperity, which held the event. While Phillips condemned the actions of those individuals who berated the apparently disabled man, but said that it did not reflect most of his party's "civil" attitude during the Columbus protest.

Scott Brown On House Health Care Bill: “The Biggest Problem…Is Its Lack Of Transparency”

by Drew Grant | 8:13 pm, Thursday

Last night when Chris Matthews discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's idea of a "Deem and Pass" to get the health reform bill pushed through Congress, his main concern was that it would open up Democrats to criticism of using evasive tactics. And he wasn't wrong: Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown was on The Situation Room tonight, already chomping at the bit to discuss the "backroom deals....political chicanery and parliamentary maneuvers" that the House majority was using to "ram this bill through."
