On Wednesday night, embattled CNN host Lou Dobbs announced his resignation from the network, effective immediately. Dobbs, the longest-running anchor on CNN's air, is known for his anti-immigration rhetoric, his "birther" conspiracy advocacy, and that time he almost called Condoleeza Rice a "cotton picker," among other gems. Not surprisingly, groups that have been advocating for Dobbs' removal, are already celebrating the evening's news.

While Dobbs does not yet know what his future holds ("I will let you know when I set my course," he said during Wednesday night's final broadcast), we here at HuffPost Media feel qualified to talk about his past. Below, we bring you a collection of Lou Dobbs' Most Scandalous Moments.
