Lou Dobbs May Run For President?
I can’t wait for the GOP primary. It is going to be a fucking freak show.
Ex-CNNer Lou Dobbs tells WTOP this morning that he feels “liberated and emancipated” since leaving the network — and he’s not ruling out the possibility of running for president in 2012.
When one of the WTOP anchors joked that pundits were floating the crazy idea of the immigration-fixated Dobbs running for president, he shot back: “What]s so crazy about that?” — and disclosed that he’s talking to advisers to suss out his political options.
“For the first time I’m actually listening to [people who want him to run for office]. … I don’t think I have the nature for it. … But we’ve got to do something for this country.”
As much as I rag on corporate, sellout Democrats (and pump up progressive ones), both the Republican party’s base and its leaders are about as bat shit crazy as it gets in a democracy before things start getting really, really dangerous.
Or have they already?
