Lou Dobbs, Fox Business host, dies at 78
(apnews.com)
Such a shame about Bob Newhart.
Tragedy always strikes in threes.
Hearing about Bob makes me wonder what the other two will be.
Richard Simmons and Shelly Duvall both died in this last week.
Don't forget Shannen Doherty.
Oh yeah so we're like on 5 now with Dr Ruth, so one more to complete the 3.
... Are they accepting nominations... Asking for um... Asking for a friend...
Has to be a tragedy. Not anyone who doesn't spark joy. That also rules out you, Wogi.
I'll have you know my dogs would be devastated about missing dinner.
And we'd miss you too, in case I wasn't clear.
Double three peat.
Doctor Ruth died in-between those two; we're onto a new set of threes now.
Nooooooooooo. I'd heard about Simmons but not Duvall.
Yes! And it didn't get much coverage because some convicted felon got shot at in rural Pennsylvania at a rally. Such a shame!
~~some convicted felon ~~
some rando grifter FTFY
I stand corrected. Thank you.
Add a ! in front of your first [ to embed your gif instead of having it a download link.
Thanks, I always tend to forget. Should be fixed now.
Good riddance.
Time of your life
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
that's the first thing that came to my mind
Great news!
I remember Dobbs used to have polls on CNN that would consistently come back at 95% plus in favor of his position. The polls were always worded like, “Are you in favor of destroying America with open borders that allow drugs and sex trafficking?”
I went online and voted in them sometimes to boost the “bad” answer.
LOL yes!!! I absolutely remember this and would do the same thing, haha
Obama birther conspiracy believer, climate change denier, anti-immigration liar, trump supporter, george soros conspiracy peddler. Fuck him. Glad he's dead. Better late than never.
Excellent news. Once planted six feet under, the world will gain a unisex outdoor washroom. Well done, Lou.
Rest in piss. As always.
I thought it was so weird how his big thing was “illegal immigration” and “illegal aliens” but then he would caveat his position with the fact that his wife was Mexican so basically his view was okay and he could say that.
It was absolutely the “my best friend is Black” but about his wife. So fucking weird.
Mental compartmentalization is a real thing.
Absolutely astonishing to watch him go from a moderate ( right-center in the west) on CNN to whack-job boot-licker in the span of two years. But I'm old. Most people probably just saw a glass-house throwing troll. He was an opportunist. Fuck. That troll.
The right is very profitable
Too many people become this
I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.
I misread this as James Dobson, but I'll take Lou Dobbs as well.
Wait...was Lou Dobbs nothing more than a long running satirical performance piece by Bob Newhart?
I don't believe in coincidences...
/s obviously.
