Lou Dobbs to Run for Governor!
Edited on Fri Jun-13-08 09:18 AM by One Sweet World
The Newark Star Ledger is reporting that protectionist/ideologue/conservative/CNN anchor Lou Dobbs is considering a run for New Jersey governor. When asked about the possibility, the angry talking head responded with a classic non-denial denial of "I'm just not going to comment."

Putting aside the question of whether or not New Jersey would actually elect this right-wing flame-thrower, do you think Dobbs would be a governor? And what kind of policies would he enact?

6. He never listened to me.
Even as a child, Lou was an asshole.

4. His first act as NJ's governor would be to deport anybody that didn't look, act, or
speak "American" enough for him. Might be a hard job in New Jersey.

7. He'd seal up New Jersey's border with Mexico.
:crazy: :eyes: :crazy:

He'd be a disaster. All of the wing nuts calling his show have given him delusions of grandeur.

Lou must not realize that NJ does not share a border with Mexico! I got a good laugh out of that!
