Unclean! Unclean!
So, two days behind the curve is pretty untimely by blogosphere standards, but I just had to blog this. CNN anchor, xenophobe and sensationalist, Lou Dobbs is under fire this week for, get this, exaggerating leprosy statistics and blaming his reported increases on illegal immigrants. The whole story is here, including a comprehensive debunking of Mr. Dobbs’ fearmongering bridge too far. You know you’ve entered a dark age in politics, when the old “fear the lepers” chestnut makes a comeback. Oh, and is it surprising that Pat Buchanan has Dobbs’ back on this? Maybe it’s time to consider opening “populist pundit colonies” to cleanse our society of this uncleanliness. (Hat Tip: Hit & Run)
