It was amusing to watch CNN go back to the guy after they fired him. Lou, strangely enough, was not picked up by one of the major networks during that period. He did several things...but it almost looks like he purposely waited on CNN to call him up and ask him back. And I suspect he named his own terms and demanded his hand-picked crew to run the show.
Today, Lou could easily step into CBS and run the nightly news there, and i'm surprised that Katie Couric is the one they are asking. Lou would take anwful lot of viewers with him....and I think he would be the trusted name in nightly news if he did get offered the position.
I also wondered why no other network picked up Lou when he was let go by CNN. He would have been a great catch for any of the MSM. They all need a "Token" conservative.
