If you have not seen the movie "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" directed by George Clooney, I highly recommend it! Chuck invented TV shows like The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, The Gong Show, etc that broke new ground in TV shows by being cruder, exploitative and decried heavily by the critics! However, the audience watched in droves making them highly successful! Chuck Barris also claimed to be a CIA hit man and many think he made a lot of these stuff up! Lou Dobbs is breaking new ground in the Xenophobic, anti-competitive spin news area. Watch for more of these kinds of guys popping up on TV and Talk radio before the 2008 elections! Xenophobia, immigration and anti-competitive issues are waiting to be tapped for the next Presidential election! And there will be a new crop of journalists like Lou Dobbs to tap into it! Already the Michael Savage radio show is No.3 on the radio show list! He's Lou Dobbs three times over. Lou Dobbs is the new Chuck Barris of News!

His form of "journalism" is the cheapest, lowest form of the profession other than guys like Povich Why CNN choses to give this guy a podium for thinly veiled xenophobia and racism is beyond me. I guess the mantra is "whatever sells". The sooner people tune out this despicable blowhard the better. Brad,

F = Department of Defense

Why would Lenovo or Check Point need to write back doors for their respective governments when our most crucial federal agencies can’t even get the security basics right?
