Lou Has Left The Building

I listened live to Lou Dobbs announce his departure from CNN after working there for 30 years. As Joseph Farah observed, this left “the network in a state of programming irrelevancy.”

For years there has been just one reason to tune in to CNN. His name was Lou Dobbs.

What makes Lou Dobbs so special is his independence and fearlessness. Dobbs clearly set his own agenda. He had no interest in the “conventional wisdom” of his industry. Dobbs thinks like a real American newsman – a throwback to an age when journalists actually believed they were watchdogs of government and asked tough questions in the interests of the people.

When virtually his entire profession and elites in all the other political and cultural institutions of our time were making excuses for allowing tens of millions of illegal aliens to occupy our country, Lou Dobbs was alone in his focus on the issue critical to America’s safety and security.

Here’s a bit more about the forces behind the purge:

Months ago, the president of CNN/U.S., Jonathan Klein, spelled out two options for Lou Dobbs, the network’s most outspoken anchor. Dobbs could vent his opinions on radio and anchor an objective newscast on television, or he could leave CNN altogether.

On Wednesday, Dobbs made his decision: He chose opinion.

Dobbs told viewers that he was resigning from his CNN job immediately. Sitting before an image of an American flag on his studio set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”

He remained vague about how he would contribute “to the national conversation,” saying that he was considering “a number of options and directions.”

The synophobia, the protectionism, the populism—there was a lot to disagree about with Dobbs. But Mr. Farah is right; CNN is not much without him.

To get an idea of the kind of malicious attacks the man faced, read this drivel on the huffing post.

The drive to get rid of Dobbs, I predict, will miscarry.

Onward & Downward The Blond Squad

Celebrity, Conservatism, Etiquette, Feminism, Gender, Intelligence, Media

As was said over these pixelated pages, “brains are a hindrance to advancement in the age of the idiot; being a lightweight blond is helpful.” The blond squad is everywhere in American politics. Not even the libertarian faction—my own—has spared us the specter of a dime-a-dozen dames. Dumbing down is to the detriment of all.

Watch this clip of the cretin Carrie Prejean lord it over Larry King (who, I must say, behaves demurely and perfectly politely).

Can you say pretentious, plastic cow?

Whoopee Goldberg is correct. Here’s another empty head, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, defending the trail-blazing Prejean.

Blond-squad watch:

Updated: The Fair Sex & The Unmentionable (A Man) At Fort Hood

Feminism, Gender, Media, Military, Propaganda

“Manacled by multiculturalism, Lieutenant General Robert W. Cone, commander of III Corps at Fort Hood was careful to keep his grunts defenseless.”

As I write in my upcoming WND column, to be posted tonight,

“‘As a matter of practice, we don’t carry weapons here, this is our home,’ he bragged about the ‘no-guns’ policies on base. It remained for the victims at Fort Hood to wait for civilian police officers to rescue them from a lone, weapons-wielding man.

For 13 of the fragged men and women it was too late.”

A legend named Sergeant Kimberly Munley has been born. Everyone is slobbering over the fact that a woman, purportedly, took Hasan down.

I’m a wee bit skeptical about such fem fantasies. Remember that hoax the military perpetrated about some single woman soldier in Iraq who took on an Iraqi battalion?

Wikipedia is more cautious. Lo and behold, the online encyclopedia mentions an unmentionable—a man—who seemed to have done quite a bit to finish that dirty job:

“Sergeant Kimberly Munley, who had arrived on the scene within three minutes of receiving the report of an emergency at the center, encountered Hasan exiting the building in pursuit of a wounded soldier. Munley and Hasan exchanged shots. Munley was hit three times; twice through her left leg and once in her right wrist, knocking her to the ground.[19] In the meantime, civilian police officer Sergeant Mark Todd arrived and fired at Hasan. Todd said: ‘He was firing at people as they were trying to run and hide. Then he turned and fired a couple of rounds at me. I didn’t hear him say a word, he just turned and fired.'[20] Hasan was hit and felled by shots from Todd and Munley.[21][3] Todd approached the wounded shooter, kicked a pistol out of his hand, and placed him in handcuffs as Hasan fell unconscious.[22]”

Update: It’s confirmed (thanks, Jack). This was a repeat of the Jessica Lynch affair. How predictable. A man had Munley’s back. You know how useless the woman must have been for the New York Times not to ignore the story:

“The witness, who asked not to be identified, said Major Hasan wheeled on Sergeant Munley as she rounded the corner of a building and shot her, putting her on the ground. Then Major Hasan turned his back on her and started putting another magazine into his semiautomatic pistol.

It was at that moment that Senior Sgt. Mark Todd, a veteran police officer, rounded another corner of the building, found Major Hasan fumbling with his weapon and shot him.

How the authorities came to issue the original version of the story, which made Sergeant Munley a national hero for several days and obscured Sergeant Todd’s role, remains unclear.”

What a gentleman Todd is. Or, more likely, too scared to shatter the PC code of conduct and the nation’s fantasies. Via the Guardian:

“Todd said: ‘We were engaged in a gunfight, and then I neutralised him, or we neutralised him.'”

Oops, he almost took credit for his actions. No well-trained American man inculcated in PC would do that! In any event, it seems that Hasan dropped the lady weapons expert and Todd “neutralized” the Other Protected Species.
