auburnguy 0 #2 February 27, 2008 No you are not. Most people hate them, but because they make outrageous statements and people watch for that they get higher ratings. Its like Lou Dobbs, everyone at CNN hates him. But he gets good ratings so they keep him. Same thing with Bill O'Reilly, except not nearly as many people at fox hate O'Reilly as people at CNN hate Lou Dobbs."If you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day, and do it really half assed. That's the American way." - Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a difficult guy to work with, or is it something else?So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Just a difficult guy to work with, or is it something else? I'm curious to know too. I went to a book signing of his back in September and found him to be very intelligent, articulate and a real gentleman with his audience. It's hard to imagine him being less likeable than that jerkoff O'Reilly. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Look at the bile and vitriol expressed by some toward anyone right of Karl Marx, then consider Dobb's position.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

auburnguy 0 #7 February 27, 2008 The inside story on Dobbs is that he is extremely rude and very sure of himself. From what I understand not many people at CNN really like him."If you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day, and do it really half assed. That's the American way." - Homer Simpson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
