Thank you, LT, for your remarks about Dobbs. I wouldn't have bothered to catch his show ever again, probably, but for our discussion here recently. He's ROCKIN' on the offshoring. It's about time one of the tee-vee finance journalists/entertainers put some teeth in their coverage. Realizing it pisses off the Bush administration. lb

Life with Lou.... Here's some facts of life about Lou Dobbs. Today, he ran a poll and had ~2,200 responses. In contrast, Wolf Blitzer's poll attracted about ~95,000 responses. ***** When Lou Dobbs left CNN to become the CEO of Space.com, the Moneyline program was taken over by Stewart Varney and Willow Bay. Contracts with Varney and Bay were broken when Dobbs got caught holding an empty bag at the end of the dot.bomb era. I don't know who Dobb's guardian angel is at Time/Warner, but Dobbs is one of luckiest S.O.B.s in entertainment. Call him Mr. Special Privileges. (Unless you consider that moniker fully owned by Shrub.) ** Like others here, I do appreciate the populist bias of Dobbs' current editorial opinions. My only reservation would be to question his sincerity, and his audience size. The former because I'd like to believe in the man as well as his cause. The latter because it seems to me that with a 95:2 ratio between those who want to beat themselves up with facts they can't possibly use from Wolf Blitzer instead of the more actionable news beat that Dobbs is covering indicates a certain lack of comprehension among the aggregate CNN audience. Just my two cents. And worth every penny of it, I'm sure. ')

MORE ON THE MENDACITY OF TOODLE-LOU: I just caught a repeat of Friday's performance piece of the Lou Dobbs Hour on CNN. I was absolutely flabbergasted at a segment where a "breathless" Suzanne Malveaux was trying to get the word out to the public on the records that the White House had just released on George Bush's National Guard service. Showing us the heft of the ream of paper that the White House had shoved her way (paper and printing courtesy of you, sucker, the chump taxpayer), Suzanne tried to convince us of the sincerity of the President by mere weight of the evidence. However, it got downright silly when she started to say that this sheaf of sh!t was proof positive of Bush's bona fides when she started to go into the dental records from 1969, 1970 and 1971. Apparently, either Ms. Malveaux is truly clueless and doesn't realize that Bush was AWOL from May, 1972 to May, 1973, or else she is totally mendacious and nothing more than a whore and a court stenographer for the petite dauphine, trying to sell smelly red herrings to a gullible public. I wasn't buying. Lou Dobbs was absolutely useless at clearing up what exactly was wrong with Ms. Malveaux, who was having a serious malfunction. Or else was lying through her teeth. In any case, the performance of both of them rates an "F". Utterly failing to inform the American public of information that is already in the public record due to the efforts of Walter Robinson of the Boston Globe among others.
