BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ....FOX says Lou Dobbs has 'Lost it'..

Ok it is Fox Business -- but I guess they are the same.

NEW YORK -- I used to laugh off CNN anchor Lou Dobbs' eccentricities. I chalked up his bluster and preening to the concept of television news meets show biz.

But now, I'm sorry to say, I can no longer chuckle at the spectacle of Dobbs' antics. Quite simply, the man has sold his journalistic soul to the devil.

How else could anyone explain Dobbs' dramatic transformation over the years, from a professional business-news anchor to his current act, which somewhat resembles Howard Beale on steroids?

Anyone who has watched Dobbs for a while would have no trouble envisioning him rising from his anchor chair -- as the mythical Beale did in the movie "Network" -- stretching his arms to the sky and imploring his viewers to yell out the window that they're as mad as hell and they're not going to take it any more.

Dobbs doesn't even have to raise his voice to risk sounding like a caricature of himself. For instance, when Dobbs demanded to see President Obama's birth certificate to verify he is an American citizen, Dobbs looked ridiculous, to put it politely. So, by the way, did his employer, a unit of Time Warner Inc. (TWX: 27.52, -0.41, -1.47%)

Ratings grab

Actually, there appears to be a simple explanation for all this. You can even sum it up in one word: ratings.

5. I've never liked him but in the last couple of

years he has donned a mantle of superiority that ill befits him. You know, everyone is out of step but him.

6. But nothing about his own network

Beck, Hannity - all pushing the birther nonsense. Seems mighty hypocritical to me - but then again, it's Faux.

LOL! Now I have to wonder if Lou Dobbs is actually sane since Fox says he's not.

The only people who will go to town hall meeting of any kind will be the violent prone crazies. Maybe, if they don't kill each other off, they will just get bored.
