Pretty good stuff... :)
As for Lou Dobbs, he's kind of weird. I mean, mostly he's quite conservative, but he also complained a lot about how corporations have been using their power to hurt American workers, not something most conservatives care much about... maybe that's part of why he quit the Republican Party a few years back and became an independent. That and that Bush supported amnesty for illegal immigrants...
Since Obama came into office he's somewhat returned to form though, and he obsessed over the Obama birth certificate "issue" for months and months. That's pretty disgusting.
He did make immigration his signature issue, though of course. On that note, did you know that his wife is Hispanic? It's true... she's legal though, and also conservative, so it does make a little sense -- legal immigrants don't always like the illegals, they wait years for the right to come to the US, but the illegals cut in line and sneak in, and then expect amnesty. When you look at it that way it does seem unfair... but you can't just kick them all out or something, obviously, and many of them are doing jobs no Americans, native-born or legal immigrant, want to do, so yeah.
Anyway, since quitting CNN he's said he has an interest in running for either President (2012) or Senate (2010, New Jersey, because that's where he lives), and has said some entertaining stuff since then. He said something like 'only the far left is behind the 'Lou Dobbs hates Hispanics' thing and that other people know it's not true', and that he's 'considering supporting legalization' or something like that, even though for years now he's strongly opposed it. Um, yeah. I wonder what he does next.
