Lou Dobbs Talk Radio Show in the Works!

The N.Y. Times reports that Lou Dobbs said yesterday that he was creating a daily three-hour talk radio show that would run in the afternoons and conclude an hour before his nightly program on CNN, which begins at 7 p.m. on the East Coast.

As Homer Simpson would say, DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, Lou Dobbs took it on the chin yesterday.  Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez of “Democracy Now,” a reputable radio and television news and analysis program, conducted an hour-long interview with Lou Dobbs. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, “Dobbs was pounded with questions about the bogus “facts” that he regularly trots out to demonize undocumented immigrants, such as his claim that a “third of our prison population” are “illegal aliens.” (As “Democracy Now” pointed out, the Justice Department says about 6% of state and federal prison populations are non-citizens. The government does not know what percentage of those non-citizens are undocumented.)”
