CNN president Jon Klein has had enough of Lou Dobbs hand-feeding the birther hysterics and dragging “The Most Trusted Name in News” into the dark reaches of village insanity. Klein sent out this email last night telling Dobbs that “this story is dead.” Can’t wait to see if Kitty Pilgrim, the secondary anchor who helms the USS Dobbs most Friday nights, follows Klein’s orders.

Here’s Jon Klein’s email:

Subject: Important re birth certificate

I asked the political researchers to dig into the question “why couldn’t Obama produce the ORIGINAL birth certificate?”

This is what they forwarded. It seems to definitively answer the question. Since the show’s mission is for Lou to be the explainer and enlightener, he should be sure to cite this during your segment tonite. And then it seems this story is dead – because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.

Thx
