The Mighty Lou Dobbs

Most every afternoon, Lou Dobbs appears on CNN to whine about the "evils" of American liberal thought and to further bewail the perils of illegal immigration. Perhaps it's time to remind the blogosphere that Dobbs was originally booked onto CNN as an economics commentator, not a political pundit. But there he is, more opinionated and strident about the elections than ever. He does at times criticize the genius from Crawford, but only because even that goober isn't conservative enough for the illustrious Mr. Dobbs. Welcome to discourse in the American media, where crying for the audience -- even on a daily basis can be profitable. But then, in the 1950's, Jack Bailey hosted a program called "Queen for A Day" (no crude jokes here, please) where women won refrigerators and laundry equipment for boo-hooing their way through the best (or worst?) sob stories from their pitiable lives.
