Lou Dobbs Hangs It Up

For the three of you who still watch CNN.  [goodbye, Lou]

Veteran CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, whose populist views on the perils of immigration and his repeated questioning of President Barack Obama’s birthplace made him a controversial figure on a network that has traditionally eschewed opinion, announced Wednesday night that he is resigning.

According to sources familiar with CNN, Dobbs wants quit in order to pursue a career in martial arts.
