Is Lou Dobbs Going to go Over The Edge Tonight?

[leftchick]

He has been apoplectic these last few days over the UAE port issue. Given the chimps statement today about vetoing any legislation barring it, I recommend Lou have his heart rate checked at break times on his show today. This is getting interesting...

:popcorn:

[Jawja]

1. I really enjoyed him last night.

One of the few times recently I have actually watched CNN.

[phantom power]

2. I think this BushCo blunder may prove....

that even cognitive dissonance can only accomodate so much self-contradiction, before reality breaks through. "We want you to fear Islamic terrorism so deeply that you'll sign off on anything we want... but over here, we want you to be just fine with putting our port security in the hands of an Islamic nation."

Sit back and watch the freeper heads explode...

3. My new favorite CNN program! Go Lou! n/t

4. ROFLMFAO......nt

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Oh, I think it's on.

[Beelzebud]

6. I want to see Lou tear his shirt off and throw his cellphone at the camera

[leftchick]

13. and rip the fucking flag pin off!

:rofl:

[Beelzebud]

15. LOL

7. Congress can, and probably WOULD override his veto

That might be his plan all along.. To give republicans a vehicle to prove how brave they are and how "patriotic" they are.. Bush can afford to take the "blame"..he's not running

[anitar1]

10. SoCalDem, I like your thinking. n/t

[leftchick]

12. very true SoCal

god everything is always about elections with them. :puke:

[MissB]

14. But Bush = Republican leader

so I'm not seeing how that strategy translates well for the Republicans with elections this year.

[SoCalDem]

17. It removes some of the taint that Bush put on them

It "proves" that they are brave and think for themselves..and have the courage to stand up to their own party leader..

[kpete]

8. yes!

[JohnnyRingo]

9. He's been running out of words to describe his indignance

I'm....

Appalled
outraged
mortified
stunned
shocked

...that this is considered acceptable by this administration.

He has to recycle his anger these days with a White House that pulls something ridiculous out of their ass every day.

[MissB]

11. Yes, he may actually pop a vein.

Which would be pretty hard for him to do.

[MADem]

16. He was on Imus this morning, ripping BushCo a brand new one

He was friken PROFOUND...it was some damn fine radio!!!!!!

[Double T]

18. There is a lot more to the stench of this UAE port deal..........

then we currently understand. Like all things bushco, eventually the truth will be known and NOBODY is going to like it.

[converted_democrat]

I don't agree with Lou on every issue, but he's been doing a damn

23. Absolutly. I first heard him report it and now everybdoy is talking

about it. I think if head not brought it to our attention, It would have passed by as just another strange side line of history.

21. Bush's trap

It is hard to get this perspective since Bush does get his own way so often but...

He can't go back on deals with his real partners, can't go back on his necessary cronies. With great difficulty, some would say impossible, the entire world could try to back Bush down and remove him. That hardly seems to be happening considering everything. But his vicious, incompetent weasels whom no one in their right mind could trust without a gun to their head need his absolute support. The Lotts and Delays can sort of be on their own in their own snafus, but the real cabal of the Bush network must not think Bush will dump or disavow them. He can't do that or impeachment or forced resignation will be the least of the Bush dynasty worries.

Now once more all this is nakedly exposed if somehow in our shameful fancy of a civilization- invulnerable.

Bush has only one core outside his miserable self and it isn't the mouthpieces that still spin the absurd for him. It is the money people and the gangland crooks he employs.

He can't stop giving them everything. This is more than the regal indifference that keeps him from feeling the tangible fear. But talk about mutual firing squads. They are trapped in their own feasting on the corpse of the world. Bush would be really crazy to think he could survive by giving to any other group something or the someones opposing his darker deals. He can't stop protecting those who really protect him in thse crimes.

Ask Huey Long's bodyguards.

22. Lou is about the only corporate media I watch any more.

He one of the few people in the media that gives a damn anymore. Love him or hate him, I believe he is honest with his convictions and I can RESPECT that.
