Sweet: Lou Dobbs dumps all over Olbermann and Garofalo

A delicious treat to end a long week, as Dobbs spends six minutes grasping at words to convey his utter disgust for two of the most cretinous demagogues you’ll ever see. Happens to the best of us. At some point, you simply run out of synonyms for “vile.”
She totally snubbed Rush Limbaugh, too, when he dropped by the set of “24.” Why? Because she’s rebellious like that. Click the image to watch.

Would have been even sweeter if he dumped all over Roesgen too. ;)
OneGyT on April 17, 2009 at 9:04 PM
Low hanging fruit
Defector01 on April 17, 2009 at 9:06 PM
calling her a human being was rather generous
BobH on April 17, 2009 at 9:07 PM
She’s nuts…An easy target, but I feel a little sorry for her.
therightwinger on April 17, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Gotta love Lou. Now when is Fox going to give Dobbs a real run for his money at their weak slot – the 7PM slot? I can think of one way they could dominate that time slot… hire another CNNer ;)
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Yeah… I wouldn’t feel so bad for her if she had her own show on MSNBC though…
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:09 PM
I can’t stand Dobbs, but he was right about this one. I would say something insulting and degrading in an attempt to deride Garofalo, but it would be a waste. Her words and actions speak for themselves. Make daddy proud Janeane.
Stickeehands on April 17, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Lou, do you ever watch your own network’s Rick Sanchez and/or Jack Cafferty? Keith Olbermann : like shooting fish in a barrel, now, isn’t it.
Marcus on April 17, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Yep, Garofalo is a tool.
crr6 on April 17, 2009 at 9:10 PM
I don’t think she’s a human being.
Not at all.
Corky on April 17, 2009 at 9:11 PM
All she has is hate. I hope its enough for her.
canditaylor68 on April 17, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Wow, such bravery from Garofalo.
/sarc.
I.e, whiney leftist will not engage in dialogue with someone not holding her views. See the open-mindedness of the Left.
rbj on April 17, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Wow, I haven’t watched the Olby clip because Garofalo is like nails on a chalkboard for me… but just the clips Dobbs uses are outrageous. This is about hating a black man? WTF?
RightWinged on April 17, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Stickeehands on April 17, 2009 at 9:10 PM
make daady proud…..LMAO!!!!
+ 1,000,000,000
Ghoul aid on April 17, 2009 at 9:14 PM
I actually happened to hear Dobbs yesterday hammering these people on his radio show that is carried locally on KDOW. It was awesome.
crosspatch on April 17, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Haha, Lou says there are a lot of meds flying around there over at Countdown.
V15J on April 17, 2009 at 9:15 PM
No wonder Ben Stiller dumped her.
BHO Jonestown on April 17, 2009 at 9:15 PM
What she said is just despicable. She is a bigot.
Anybody got a contact email for the producers of ‘24′?
capitalist piglet on April 17, 2009 at 9:17 PM
I haven’t watched the clip yet but does anyone think it’s funny the “media” is turning on each other. So very odd.
Cindy Munford on April 17, 2009 at 9:19 PM
I think it is safe to say that Olberman/Garofalo fans and listeners are scoring 2’s and 3’s on this current events quiz.
(It is a consistent theme that when liberals make these broad, sweeping, bigoted, stereotypical assessments of people that don’t share their political views,they are never able to back them up with facts.
Kind of like that DHS report from Napolitano that even democrats are bitc# slapping her over.)

There are times when Lou loses the thread…Old Perot-ist I think…this isn’t one of those times. High quality rant and Conservative or Libertarian will enjoy.
AUINSC on April 17, 2009 at 9:21 PM
If I were walking through the city and saw Garofalo in an alley getting the crap kicked out of her I’d giggle a little to myself and keep leisurely strolling along.
Spiritk9 on April 17, 2009 at 9:21 PM
Well Garafolo snubbed Rush Limbaugh. I can see why. He is one to the most influentual people in the country. She is a lightweight. She would not want to get caught up in a battle of ideas. LOL talk about being out gunned.
Well after I had heard a few of her comment a few months ago I started finding something else to watch when24 comes on.
DVPTexFla on April 17, 2009 at 9:24 PM
Huh?
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I know a guy who has lost thirty pounds since the new season of “24″ started. Evey time he sees Garafalo it causes him to vomit.
Pelayo on April 17, 2009 at 9:25 PM
I feel sorry for her, too.
John the Libertarian on April 17, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I nearly stopped watching 24 because of her being on the show this season. But I keep on with the hope that I will get to see her get whacked!
conservnut on April 17, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Garofalo looks different than she did 10 or 15 years ago. Especially since she is apparently 44 years old. I think she has had plastic surgery, not that it has made her prettier. Normally I wouldn’t care. However, when militant feminists get plastic surgery, it shows what big hypocrites they are. She’s nothing more than the ugly girl who wanted to be the pretty popular girl and has channeled her resentment into making everyone else as miserable as she is.
ExcessivelyDiverted on April 17, 2009 at 9:26 PM
I would flash her the piece sign,tell her to apologize for how she has oppressed her attacker and inform her that negotiations are her only solution because if I were to physically stop the attack,it would just create more violence.
Baxter Greene on April 17, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Lost control of the submit button.
I hope Fox makes Lou Dobbs an offer he can’t refuse soon.
ExcessivelyDiverted on April 17, 2009 at 9:27 PM
Hmm.. Maybe Lou sees the writing on the wall–He will be the latest to take the leap to an actual News Program (Fox) He will join many of his past & recent (Beck) co-workers to finally see the light..
Ladywolfnl on April 17, 2009 at 9:27 PM
way o/t, and for all I know it’s already been in the headlines, but, lol@ Ron Paul.

RightWinged on April 17, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Is she on that show? Now I know why I don’t watch it.
Disturb the Universe on April 17, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Sweet indeed.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:29 PM
I’m telling you guys… just swap Shep and Dobbs (then I wouldn’t have to change the channel )
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Cool I’d like to see Dobbs on FOX. And that would be such a stick in the eye for the haters over at CNN.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:30 PM
12 for 12, Surprisingly simple questions, if one pays attention.
thomasaur on April 17, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Neal Boortz was invited on Rick Sanchez’s show yesterday and he was spitting nails about that reporter so he had every intension of discussing it. I emailed Ed quick like a bunny so he would be prepared and then Neal backed out. I was so bummed. He said he was too mad and that it would hurt Sanchez with his bosses. It would have been great TV.
Cindy Munford on April 17, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Aww come on I like Shep. Doesn’t anyone else like Shep? For me Fox news comes in Shep’s voice!
Brit left and he was my hero. Now you take Shep.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Eh, yeah, Cohen would fit right in at MSNBC…
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:32 PM
OK, but maybe they could move him to say 3 or 4…
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:33 PM
That screencap isn’t Garofalo…is it?
MadisonConservative on April 17, 2009 at 9:34 PM
I think she is hot.
Lou went fron Independent to RW hack.
He will go to gop news.
getalife on April 17, 2009 at 9:34 PM
When is Lou going to defect to Fox News?
HornetSting on April 17, 2009 at 9:34 PM
My post @ 9:32 was meant for you. Trying to snack and type. ; P
thomasaur on April 17, 2009 at 9:34 PM
That’s where the mail should go. I haven’t seen the show lately… but it was pretty straight shooting–not political–last I saw it. Hit Garwhatever in the pocketbook. She called her own fans racist.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:35 PM
Lou Dobbs is a reasonable American. I really think that many viewers who have grown suspicious of CNN’s intent, do not get to see the “jewel” in Lou Dobbs. I think if he joined FOX, he would draw in many new viewers who would respect his true journalistic skill. He is one of the most objective reporters out there. Your a good man, Lou.
pjean on April 17, 2009 at 9:36 PM
You know CNN sent her on an “early vacation”?
JetBoy on April 17, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Yo Garofalo, hows that family coming along; husband, kids, pets you know…a normal life? Umh, I see…that explains alot you totally pathetic POS. Good for Uncle Lou!
dmann on April 17, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Love Shep—-although his eybrows annoy me at times—But lately I am thinking of trading Jeraldo-his amnesty ideology is not realistic—
Ladywolfnl on April 17, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Heh.
Cohen had to go after Ron on this because if he had picked a democrat like Barney Frank,it would have turned into a porno real quick.
Baxter Greene on April 17, 2009 at 9:38 PM
And this whole time we thought you were pining away for Barry… Well, he can have you both…
Yes, whenever someone says something you don’t like, refer to them as a hack, right, troll? /s
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Hahaha
But too true
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:39 PM
It should be odd. Can you imagine the people we watched years ago even mentioning another station? But these days the world is just upside down. I think Olbermann started it with his worst person of the day thing and O’Reilly making it so often… his competition. I can’t believe anyone fell for that.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:39 PM
You should really see a doctor and have that checked out.
jimmy2shoes on April 17, 2009 at 9:41 PM
I don’t think you’re the only one who did a double-take there.
Either way, if the left has to rely on intellectual super-powers like Garofalo and Mos Def to attack the conservative movement, I feel pretty certain that I’m on the right side of the issue. No pun intended.
Tacitus_SGL on April 17, 2009 at 9:41 PM
I know- I refused to click on the clips myself, but then Hannity plyed it today on the radio. Blew me away. She’s insane. The fact that the “wheels” at MSNBC allow this kind of garbage to hit the airwaves is also insane. It’s crap like this that makes me wonder if we will all end up in a civil war.
anniekc on April 17, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Exactly.
More confirmation for Ziegler on how Obama got elected.
The vast majority of Americans are just not paying attention.
Baxter Greene on April 17, 2009 at 9:41 PM
THAT my friends is fricking priceless! Baxter, this is classic! Kudos!!
Tim Zank on April 17, 2009 at 9:42 PM
I don’t think that screencap is her. Might explain why you’re mistakenly thinking that bull dyke’s dream in horn rims is attractive.
MadisonConservative on April 17, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Ditto that. My exact same viewing pattern. I couldn’t take Shep anyore after his Katrina breakdown.
Tim Zank on April 17, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Nuts! I thought you were talking about their IQs.
SeniorD on April 17, 2009 at 9:46 PM
D-List all the way these days, in more ways than one. Hasn’t had a movie role in forever, save for a voice-over in Ratatouille.
Her career as a a political commentator is pretty much the same as her film career….on the way down, one would hope.
Olby?
At some point he is going to get canned…his ratings are miniscule now, so I am hoping for an end of season firing.
They could put Chico the trained Mexican Spider Monkey in his slot and the ratings would skyrocket.
coldwarrior on April 17, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Again……….
…….. time to hit the Advertisers of this crap in the pocket book. Cut off their funding, and watch how fast the bosses change their tune to what is said.
I just don’t watch this bile, so I don’t even know who not to buy from………
………. anyone have a list?
Seven Percent Solution on April 17, 2009 at 9:46 PM
I’m guessing she’s just auditioning for the role of “The Joker” in batman…or it’s a closeup of here in a group picture from the asylum where she is currently a resident.
AUINSC on April 17, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Me too–couldn’t clicke and turned off Lou as soon as it started… but then went back… turned off again… then went back… I might have missed a bit.
Civil War. I caught a bit of Hardball and Matthews was calling Perry out for treason and all that.
My oldest son has been saying for years he thinks the abortion issue could come to war at some point. And now all this spending and ignoring the will of the people and all. This DHS report. I never thought it would be this bad.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:47 PM
No but 24 would be a good place to start.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Yeah? Like a Rosie O’Donnell kinda hawt?
Oh no, I think I just threw up a little…..
Tim Zank on April 17, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Things look worse than they really are imho. That DHS report was a political fumble on Obama’s part, but I don’t really think you’re going to see us getting cracked down anytime soon for simply expressing our opinions.
Tacitus_SGL on April 17, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Rosanne Barr hot.
Tacitus_SGL on April 17, 2009 at 9:50 PM
I’ve forgiven him that. He was too close emotionally.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Three (count ‘em, three!) Garofalo threads (so far)… Megan McCain is going to be jealous.
benny shakar on April 17, 2009 at 9:51 PM
I know you’re just a troll, but that was actually LOLed at that.
Tacitus_SGL on April 17, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Upstater85 on April 17, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Yes for now. But it has only been close to 100 days. And so much has gone down hill so fast. But I need to stop dwelling and go do something else. Lisening to Garafalo is too depressing and seeing our new buddy Chavez… I need to do something else.
petunia on April 17, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Is Axelrods whole team here, or just 2 out of 3?
Tim Zank on April 17, 2009 at 9:53 PM
You still have Studio B. You can watch him there. I like Shep too but does he really need two shows?
I think Beck might end up getting Sheps Time Slot. Those ratings are too hard to ignore. Besides, what does the Fox Report do these days anyway? Originally it was a combination of Tabloid News with Real News but now it’s just a flashier version of your typical nightly news cast. I haven’t watched the Fox Report in a long time.
I do miss Brit Hume though. Brett Baier just isn’t doing it for me. Hume and Wallace have a powerful on screen presence, Baier does not for whatever reason.
Daemonocracy on April 17, 2009 at 9:55 PM

Sorry in advance for being hateful but can we get an address to send her some shampoo. Just looking at her makes my head itch.
Cindy Munford on April 17, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Great job, Lou! I like that “They don’t understand what I’m talking about.” I think 90% of Journalism grads don’t know the first thing about Economics. I’m constantly astounded by how much ignorance reporters and pundits display on the subject.
Axeman on April 17, 2009 at 9:57 PM
I hate to say it,but Lou Dobbs might be the only
Liberal that thinks!
canopfor on April 17, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Me thinks,she is wearing,those really smart Liberal
glass’s!!
canopfor on April 17, 2009 at 9:58 PM
Heads up to you to my friend.
Baxter Greene on April 17, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Why would Rush care if he was “snubbed” by the likes of that unwashed idiot? He could squish her like a bug.
rollthedice on April 17, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Lou Dobbs is an Independent. I watch Lou Dobbs it’s the only thing I watch on CNN. So Allah how about a transcript you put up what Lou’s said and redact everything Garofalo said…it will be like you are part of the show “24″
Dr Evil on April 17, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Or toss her into an enclosed box with an Al Qaeda suspect….and be charged with actual torture.
coldwarrior on April 17, 2009 at 10:03 PM
I don’t think Dobbs is a flaming progressive – though, no conservative.
Van Susteren is another moderate liberal that I can tolerate.

Mine, too…just less than a minute ago.
DHS checking us out?
coldwarrior on April 17, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Originally fiscally conservative, Dobbs’ views changed from conservative to “Independent populist,” becoming a critic of the “excesses of capitalism,” which he identifies as globalization, offshore outsourcing, runaway film production (the outsourcing of Hollywood jobs),[8][9] illegal immigration, free trade deals, corporate/big business influence in government and the Bush administration’s tax cuts. He describes himself as an advocate of economic populism, warning that outsourcing and the U.S. trade and budget deficits threaten the American middle class. Dobbs tends to oppose long-run trade deficits and outsourcing for the sake of labor arbitrage to obtain cheap labor.
Dr Evil on April 17, 2009 at 10:06 PM
What a disgusting pompous “b.”
’nuff said.
Oink on April 17, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Oh, Janet, don’t torture me!!! Oh, wait, that’s every D’s dream ;)

Upstater85 on April 17,2009 at 10:03PM.
Upstater85: Agreed! This isn’t the first time tho,Lou
has made sense,like his stance on illegal
immigration!:)
canopfor on April 17, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Garafolo lives in some kind of alternative universe where the 50’s never ended and she has to take brave stands against the legions of “racist” Americans around her.
She hopes that someday when she finally succeeds we will be a nation open to the idea of voting a black man for president.
Without a temporal phasic regulator, we might never be able to pull her back into the real timeline.
StubbleSpark on April 17, 2009 at 10:18 PM
So, if a black guy is in the White House, you cannot criticize him without being a racist?
Is that what this bigoted boob is blathering?
Garafolo is an asshat extraordinaire.
profitsbeard on April 17, 2009 at 10:27 PM
If Fox News could get Lou Dobbs, Rick Santelli, Zo, and Steve Crowder; CNN and MSNBC will be bankrupt and Fox News will be golden.
jencab on April 17, 2009 at 10:29 PM
I just love being called a racist red neck because I don’t support Obama. That is so open minded and above board and fair and all that sh*t.
Terrye on April 17, 2009 at 10:35 PM
From the photo I wasn’t aware Elvis Costello had shaved.
Oh, never mind.
viking01 on April 17, 2009 at 10:38 PM
That is her picture, she was actually attractive at one point in her career.
Just looking at her face now I would speculate serious meth use or lots of old fashioned speed or maybe coke.
Age has not been good to that woman.
