Lou Dobbs: Me talk to CNBC? Never!

The Huffington Post’s Danny Shea writes about Lou Dobbs phoning in to Imus on FBN and pissing all over Brian Stelter’s story that he had been talking with CNBC…

The morning after CNBC said they would not hire Lou Dobbs, Dobbs phoned in to Fox Business’ “Imus in the Morning” and denied reports that he ever had conversations with the network.

Dobbs said “absolutely not” when asked if he had talks with CNBC.

“I have no idea where they even got that,” Dobbs said when Imus asked if he was going to CNBC. “I’m sitting here in Florida in our vacation home thinking about what I am going to be doing.”

Dobbs did admit that he has talked to Fox News chief Roger Ailes, but said it was a friendly conversation and not about a potential job with Fox.

“You know, [Ailes is] an old friend,” Dobbs said. “I’ve talked to him. Certainly.”
