CNN's Peter Hamby reports that Louis CK, the comic who repeatedly attacked Sarah Palin with vile sexual slurs, has withdrawn from headlining the 68th annual Radio and Television Congressional Correspondents Association dinner set for June 8, 2012 in Washington, D.C. Hamby quotes Louis CK's agent saying, "He just didn't want to do it anymore."
The decision by Louis CK to drop out of the dinner came on the heels of a boycott of the dinner over his appearance by Fox News' Greta Van Susteren announced last night.
Free Republic gave prominence to Louis CK's role at the dinner and his vile attacks on Palin in an article posted in Breaking News on Monday night. From there, talk radio hosts Mark Levin and Sean Hannity made an issue of the situation with the dinner on their respective radio shows. Several blogs and Twitter users also highlighted Free Republic posted article about the issue.
Brent Bozell at Newsbusters originally reported on the dinner Monday, but buried mention of it in a column on the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke controversy.
Woo hoo!
Great work!
One down, thousands more to go. Great start!!!!!
WOW!! Good going freepers! Your voice is listened to and obeyed!
nice , really nice, good work!!! down goes louie! down goes louie!
You’re Da Bomb, Kristinn!
wo!
A victory for our side!
Nice job Freepers!
Good work, Kristinn—but then, we are accustomed to you doing good work!
Brilliant job Kristinn! You da man!
Good!! Take the fight to those bastards! Play offense for a change!
A standing O to Greta. I hope this makes its way to Drudge. All the people piling on Rush get a taste of their own medicine.
Meh. I’ll be impressed when the Marxist in Chief steps down. This man was irrelevant.
Yes, Kristinn walks the talk. Thank you, Kristinn.
Thanks so much kristinn.
What a wuss!
Thanks for taking out the trash, Kristinn...
My heartfelt thank you, kristinn!
Go back to the Opie and Anthony show, where their ten listeners can hear you on Sirius radio.
Great! Greta has become a favorite on Fox over the past few years for me . . . wasn’t sure about her at first, but really like her and her show now. I respect her much more than many of the others on Fox.
Woo! Hoo!
Is there a confirmed source for this?
Cool.
Score one for the good guys!
Thank you, very very much! :)
They fired his foul mouth and probably had to still pay him full boat.
Good on Greta, that short, little lawyer kinda grows on ya, I know she has two brass bowling balls, because while she is tiny, she takes no prisoners.
I had a hard time watching her for a few years, but either I'm becoming liberal or Greta is moving more to the right.
Check my tag line if you think I'm getting too soft and squishy.

WHAT!?
Just had to try and pull Rush into it, eh?
To quote South Park, it is either all OK or none of it is OK. Considering how much worse the left has been with ‘Slut’ (and such) statements, it was a battle they didn’t want to fight.
Great job, Kristinn!
Do you have any links or transcripts that credit FR?
Wow! Greta really scared the s*** out of him. What a wimp. he can use filthy language when no one dares to criticise him, but he immediately turns and runs when Greta decides to boycott the event.
I wonder if Greta realized she was so powerful! She’s a regular Wonder Woman & Mary Marvel all in one. She’s gonna have a field day tonight!
This is the best news! I posted that garbage all over and hit their silly facebook page. So happy you do what you do, it must be satisfying to see that vile man bow out!
Awesome! Greta and her husband became close friends with Sarah and Todd during the election cycle and Greta’s interviews with Sarah and her family. She wasn’t about to sit still for such trash. Good for her. I think Great’s moving a bit more to the right!
W00T!!!
Congrats, once again, on your outstanding work!
This is awesome news. A big thanks to Greta for having the guts to stand up to this.
Congratulations on another successful FReep!
BUMP for great freeping.
By the way, I think Louis CK is a liar. He didn’t drop out because, “he didn’t feel like doing it”.
Somebody told that scumbag to take a hike.
??
Nicely done, keep up the good work
It’s great that Greta Von Susteren Sustained the pressure!
Congrats on a job well done!
“You can’t fire me, I quit!”
The Democrats and their media lapdogs’ disingenuous and orchestrated attack on Rush Limbaugh is coming back to haunt them. Their allies, Maher, Louis CK, Sandra Berhard etc. have been far more grotesque in their comments towards conservative women and have never received the slightest scrutiny or reproval from the hordes of major media who now revel in the false agonistes over Limbaugh’s comments about the abortion activist Sandra Fluke. The leftist media now sits in the uncomfortable position of defending these gross attacks from their “comedians”, and as their explanatory logic is twisted like a bad DNA strand - they have been forced to finally receive detailed and unwanted attention to their hideous remarks. ...But they cannot be ‘misogynists’ since they are comedians, Democratic comedians!’
Maher is nervous, Louis CK is losing jobs, the hard, cold revelation of their hypocrisy is causing real problems. Maher tried to defend Rush to defuse this attention to himself. I am glad they opened this Pandora’s Box, we can sit back and enjoy the show - and laugh at the pretzel logic.
Hey kristinn! Nice job man! Great work.
