Some Dude Somewhere In America Thinks Lou Dobbs Is Really Swell, Wall Street Journal Reports
In today’s Wall Street Journal, Greg Hitt speculates on speculation of a surprise Lou Dobbs presidential campaign. First, Hitt cites Robert Novak citing Dobbs’ friends citing Dobbs saying he might run. Then, he cites the Wall Street Journal’s own John Fund citing Dobbs’ friends citing Dobbs saying he might run. (Later, Hitt cites Dobbs himself saying he isn’t planning to run.)
But Hitt’s best source is some dude who wrote some letter to the editor of some newspaper published wherever that guy lives. Writes Hitt:
“From Indiana to Arkansas to Pennsylvania, Mr. Dobbs has been trumpeted by regular Americans in letters to local newspapers as presidential timber. One writer even likened him to George Washington.”
Last time the WSJ speculated on a Dobbs campaign, Dobbs was compared to Network’s “mad as hell” Howard Beale. Now, it’s a founding father. Next: Jesus?

The ONLY candidates so far I would vote for are Fred Thompson and maybe Mitt Romney. Living in Southern California where English is a fading language, subsumed by Spanish, and the American culture is disappearing, I have ONE issue that will determine my vote… Closing the border and getting rid of ALL the illegals. I am tired of having to “push 1 for Englilsh”. If Lou runs on THAT platform, he will get my vote.

Rob, I’d rather keep those Spsnish speaking people and just ship all the gays out. They are the real threat to America.

yeah I agree. Well sort of. Mostly I’d like to see the gay spaniards shipped out. Their swarthiness and impressive mustaches are frightening indeed.

nawww… the gays can stay, provided they are English speaking legal gay citizens and NOT gay mexican anchor babies….
