Is it me, or is Dobbs having problems?
I've noticed it before, but it seems pretty obvious tonight.

1. He's been singing the same anti-immigrant song for so long it's starting to affect him.
My post would make his head explode thusly: "I'M NOT ANTI-IMMIGRANT, I'M ANTI-ILLEGAL-IMMIGRANT!!"

Sure ya are Lou, sure ya are.

2. Speech problems?
If so, yes, noticed it yesterday. My wife thought it might be his choppers, but I thought it was a difficulty in his speech itself, a slurring.

10. I have not watched his show for along time (two years?). Definitely something wrong-
a slight slurring of speech and a strange expression when trying to make a point. My wife agrees.

11. Lou Dobbs
Yes, I have definitely noticed a difference in his speech and facial expressions; sort of a slurring, and thinness in his face, and a loss of his optimistic attitude. I think he is sick.

3. Ever since he went out on leave for what they were saying was...
a tonsil problem I have noticed that something is wrong with him. I'm not sure if he is suffering from some sort of breakdown or if his teeth are bothering him as someone suggested awhile back. But there is certainly something amiss here.

5. I think that he has new teeth, and they may be giving him serious problems...
Just a guess, cause I really don't know.

6. His racial hate is strangling him
or maybe its his karma. Or maybe an ancient Native American curse has come to pass as the native Americans who are called illegal immigrants return to their rightful land.

8. Sorry but I highly doubt that he is a racist... He is married to an Hispanic...
woman... I wouldn't think she would tolerate his racism.

12. I don't really understand why CNN lets Dobbs have a show. I really don't.
He's got his big two or three obsessions, and just goes at them like a rabid terrier, every blessed day, ad nauseam. Might as well just TIVO Monday's show and replay it the rest of the week--it's the LEAST informative show on CNN's weekday lineup, except (arguably) Larry King.

16. I'm with you on this
The idea that CNN would give an hour a night for his racist, jingoist demagoguing is absolutely amazing.

He reminds me of Howard Beale. Of course, Howard Beale was a fictional character.

13. a while back lou dobbs had some skin cancer removed from his face ...
losing weight if he is not dieting does not sound good... his yellowing teeth don't look too healthy ... perhaps sounding the bullhorn on poor mexicans and other south of the border people is his way to ally anxiety about whatever is physically ailing him. if he focuses on them, he don't have to focus too much on the possibility that he may be seriously ill.

15. Yes, the illogical conclusion that illegal immigration is the
cause of every ill society might suffer is likely driving him nuts.

17. Dobbs is a "one trick pony" and I'm tired of his routine.
