Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, who has been known for lengthy commentary against "illegal aliens" and those who employ them, has been found to have employed undocumented workers himself, according to a new report.

The Nation reports that Dobbs has "relied for years on undocumented labor for the upkeep of his multimillion-dollar estates and the horses he keeps for his 22-year-old daughter, Hillary, a champion show jumper."

1. All 'illegals' must go!

...except, of course, for the one who trims my shrubbery and the one who cooks my meals and the one who wipes the bottom of my demon offspring and...

2. oh, sweet schadenfraude. the hypocrite faux-populist dobbs!

knr for that ruling class lackey's exposure!

3. Of course he does.

It's all so predictable with these right-wing finger-waggers.

The ones who stand against gay rights are found to be having gay affairs.

The ones who call unemployment benefits unconstitutional are found to have family members who recently cashed unemployment checks.

The GOP Speaker of the House who expressed such moral outrage at Clinton's affair had to resign because he was having an affair.

The ones who make the biggest stink about Obama's Stimulus program are the ones who take the credit when the federal stimulus dollars begin flowing to their state or district.

So, of course Lou Dobbs hires undocumented workers. It wasn't a matter of IF he did it but a matter of WHEN the news would come out.

4. Hypocrisy, thy name is holier-than-thou RW pundits with an agenda. I wish this surprised me,

but nope, no surprise at all.

5. If we had a rational immigration policy and allowed more alien workers ...

into our country, would the now legal alien workers receive better pay and better treatment from their employers?

Could it possibly be that that rich who enjoy the benefits of cheap illegal labor are primarily responsible for our asinine immigration policy?

6. Of course he did.

He hates labor. He'd probably have slaves if he could find a way to get away with it.

7. Wow! Another hypocrite!

I wonder who else is covering this story.
