      Tragedy always strikes in threes.

      Hearing about Bob makes me wonder what the other two will be.

          Yes! And it didn’t get much coverage because some convicted felon got shot at in rural Pennsylvania at a rally. Such a shame!

    I remember Dobbs used to have polls on CNN that would consistently come back at 95% plus in favor of his position. The polls were always worded like, “Are you in favor of destroying America with open borders that allow drugs and sex trafficking?”

    I went online and voted in them sometimes to boost the “bad” answer.

    Excellent news. Once planted six feet under, the world will gain a unisex outdoor washroom. Well done, Lou.

    I thought it was so weird how his big thing was “illegal immigration” and “illegal aliens” but then he would caveat his position with the fact that his wife was Mexican so basically his view was okay and he could say that.

    It was absolutely the “my best friend is Black” but about his wife. So fucking weird.

    Absolutely astonishing to watch him go from a moderate ( right-center in the west) on CNN to whack-job boot-licker in the span of two years. But I’m old. Most people probably just saw a glass-house throwing troll. He was an opportunist. Fuck. That troll.

    I misread this as James Dobson, but I’ll take Lou Dobbs as well.

    Wait…was Lou Dobbs nothing more than a long running satirical performance piece by Bob Newhart?

    I don’t believe in coincidences…

    /s obviously.
