I hope Lou Reed replaces Lou Dobbs on CNN.

[saltpoint]

Who among us would not be improved hearing Lou Reed for an hour five days a week?

Never liked Dobbs. Always liked Lou Reed. You see the logic.

[redwitch]

1. LOL

I will turn on the telly tonight with great anticipation! Lou Reed!

[Heidi]

2. Or make it a panel discussion led by Tom Waits and Iggy Pop.

Recommended and good morning, saltpoint!

:kick:

[saltpoint]

4. Hey there, Heidi. Good to see you.

And good morning right back.

Yes. A Panel discussion. Lou Reed might not be enough of an 'A' personality. He's kind of subdued in many respects, which is the source of his charisma, probably.

[leveymg]

30. Throw in some white light and sweet cheese, and you'd have a heckofa party

And, always back to Lorraine . . .

[Heidi]

33. I would LOVE to see Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Iggy Pop and Tom Waits doing a FONDUE PARTY

panel discussion in lieu of Lou Dobbs. THAT would be a heckofa CNN prize-winning program. :rofl:

P.S. Back to you, leveymg!

[leveymg]

36. For right now, these fotogs will have to do> A heckuva party

[Heidi]

37. That kicks the absolute sh!t out of ANYTHING Lou Dobbs has EVER done.

:D

[dancingme]

3. I'm hoping for Lou Ferrigno

he could turn green and go "Hulkish" on teabaggers.

[saltpoint]

5. He could! Long overdue, too, IMO.

:thumbsup:

[peekaloo]

6. I dunno

that "colored girls" comment may come back to haunt him....Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...

[saltpoint]

7. I took that line as social irony and not as a Tancredoism.

Lou's a New York City lad and knows the territory.

Also, how on God's earth did that song ever slip past the censors? A 12-year old could have figured that one out at first listen.

[peekaloo]

8. .

;-)

[eShirl]

9. Hey CNN, take a walk on the wild side.

[saltpoint]

11. LOL.

[Wickerman]

10. Lou Barlow if Lou Reed isn't available

[saltpoint]

15. Yep. We may have to be flexible. The pitch to Reed has to be just

right.

Lou Reed probably doesn't watch cable news. He might not even have a tv.

[Wickerman]

19. I'd say approach with caution

but that is just me.

"Leave me alone" comes to mind.

[saltpoint]

21. - - - -

A vivid man in a bland world.

Thank you for the link.

[saltpoint]

12. "Coming up on CNN: 'Busload of Faith' with your host, Lou Reed."

[malaise]

13. Bring back Aaron Brown

He was a rel journalist

[saltpoint]

17. Hey there. Yes, he was.

Aaron Brown's coverage and reporting and analysis of the Katrina story was strictly top-drawer.

CNN should be ashamed of itself for keeping a hack like Blitzer and showing Brown the door.

[malaise]

18. CNN has no shame

Fugging hacks like Blitzer are encouraged. :hi:

[laststeamtrain]

14. I think Lou Reed should replace Harry Reid.

Lou Costello could replace Lou Dobbs.





(I always kind of wished Leslie Caron had married Elvis Presley.)

[saltpoint]

16. I'd endorse that plan, too.

With Reed as Senate Majority Leader I bet Joe Lieberman's chairmanship gets yanked pronto.

[Canuckistanian]

20. Or Lou Grant

[verges]

23. That makes more sense.

Lou Grant IS a journalist! Maybe Mary Richards could be his producer? Special commentary by Ted Baxter or Billie Newman (I think that was the redheads name)?

[nashville_brook]

22. What becomes a legend most?

Lou Reed in Dobbs' timeslot.

You're so vicious.

:evilgrin:

[Bluenorthwest]

24. With graphics by Laurie Anderson

"Up next on CNN: Language is a virus from outer space."

[saltpoint]

25. No kidding. She could liven that whole damn network up, actually.

[Bluenorthwest]

26. I love them both

Laurie was a brain changer for me. Lou was the soundtrack of the change.

[saltpoint]

27. Nicely put.

:thumbsup:

[kayakjohnny]

28. Or even...

[Heidi]

35. If he weren't dead, that's be a great idea!

On the other hand, I can see ways in which the disembodied voice of Lou Rawls would be infinitely superior to the wrong-minded, fully embodied voice of Lou Dobbs. :hi:

Lou Rawls, (December 1, 1933 – January 6, 2006), rest in peace.

[tridim]

29. Lou Cipher?

[Heidi]

31. Kick, because

this idea is undeniably brilliant and an enormous improvement on Lou Dobbs.

:kick:

[mitchum]

32. That would be so cool

[Heidi]

34. Cooler-than-cool.

And at 46, I'm old and quirky enough to know a good idea when I see it. Kinda like you, mitchum-whose-posts-I-enjoy!

[mitchum]

39. Thank you!

:)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

38. What about Captain Lou Albano?

Sure he's dead, but he's a lot less annoying than Dobbs!
