Dobbs abducted by aliens: Politics is making a strange bedfellow of Lou
Lou Dobbs may be getting into politics, but first politics is getting into Lou Dobbs.
For years, from his perch as CNN’s angriest man, Dobbs was an anti-illegal-immigration crusader and the scourge of anyone who proposed giving the undocumented a path to legalization.
A typical commentary from April 2007: “The Bush administration and the leadership of the Democratic Party are preparing to take another legislative leap at imposing a massive illegal alien amnesty on American citizens.”
But now that Dobbs is contemplating a run for U.S. Senate from Hispanic-heavy New Jersey – or even, yikes, the White House – Howard Beale has gone touchy feely. Witness his Friday interview with the Spanish network Telemundo: “I can tell you right now that I am one of your greatest friends and I mean for us to work together.”
And: “We need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions.”
