This weekend on Lou Dobbs, we got this gem:
DOBBS: A stunning reversal this week from Senator Obama. Senator Obama saying now he will not accept public financing for the general election campaign. Thereby breaking a promise he made earlier. Joining me now for more on that and the week’s political developments, Errol Louis, columnist, “New York Daily News” and “LOU DOBBS TONIGHT” contributor, Hank Sheinkopf, democratic strategist, also a “LOU DOBBS TONIGHT” contributor, Lisa Schiffren, “National Review” and Ken Vogel, politico.com. Thank you both for being here. Thank you very much, Earl and Hank.
***LISA SCHIFFREN, “NATIONAL REVIEW”: You know, you can’t argue with what you’ve said. But the fact is, he is new to America. And he’s got this kind of cult following. And there is a sense of, you know, messianism about him. I always refer to him as Senator Jesus, which is a little funny. But there’s some truth to the way he’s being treated by his followers there. Breaking a promise like this is a big deal. It speaks to character. Is it true that people care not so much about campaign finance reform? I think that’s right. I hope McCain hears that, too. But, you know, this is something he felt he was strong about in the fall. He was the one who invited John McCain to discuss how they were both going to stay within the federal spending limits. DOBBDS: All right. Ken, your thoughts.
I remember when I saw that on Saturday, I was shocked that no one challenged her. I really shouldn’t have been, though.
If you keep reading the transcript, the train wreck got even better as Lou Dobbs literally freaked out on the media, claimed they had no integrity and were in bed with Obama because they refused to savage him for… MoveOn’s Baby Alex commercial. The whole spurt of segments was appalling.
I guess I remember why I never watch Lou Dobbs, who really should be on Fox. That, and I can not sound the sucking sound he makes with his dentures when he talks.
