Dobbs invited Orly Taitz on his show - he got sick - Kitty Pilgrim subbed
That's the nutball's story.

Taitz told me that Dobbs invited her on his nightly TV program to discuss the Cook case but wound up calling in sick. Instead, Dobbs’ fill-in, Kitty Pilgrim, covered the story. Pilgrim was visibly embarrassed by the topic, remarking, “CNN has investigated the issue, found no basis for the questions about the president’s birthplace… There is overwhelming evidence that proves the president’s birth certificate is real.”

Taitz told me Dobbs assured her after the broadcast that he would bring her back on his program for a sympathetic treatment. But Taitz’s appearance was canceled when CNN President Jon Klein declared Dobbs’ questioning of Obama’s citizenship a “dead story,” then told Variety’s Brian Lowry, “It would not be legitimate for Lou or anyone else at CNN to explore whether Barack Obama is an American citizen.”

Among Taitz’s “biggest supporters,” she said, is CNN anchor Lou Dobbs. “I did Lou’s radio show for half an hour and he was very understanding,” she told me. “He became a supporter and since then he became a supporter of the whole (Obama eligibility) issue.” Indeed, during the July 15 broadcast of Dobbs’ radio show, he praised Taitz’s work, suggested Obama might be “undocumented,” and demanded the president “show the documents” to prove he was born in the United States.

3. Best line of the story...
"More and more people support me because they are sick and tired of the mainstream Media acting like Nazi brownshirts and calling names." Apparently Ms. Taint is suffering from an acute case of Irony deficiency.

5. CNN should fire Dobbs. He belongs at Fox News.
He is bringing down the credibility of the whole network.

Which may not be saying much, but that acknowledged, it's time for him to go.
