Lou Dobbs a friend to Hispanics, and by proxy, leprosy?

Oh, Lou Dobbs. Methinks your trickery will backfire on you. After all, it's your racism that endears you to your fan base. Not me, but then again, I don't think you were ever trying to endear yourself to me. And I'm OK with that.

What am I talking about, you ask? Check out this snippet from Politico:

“ 'I want to engage in a meaningful and constructive dialogue, and work with those who will work toward real solutions,' said Dobbs, who once falsely accused illegal immigrants of carrying leprosy into the United States."

Dobbsy, you minx. You can't say that illegal immigrants are inflicting a hyper-contagious and thoroughly terrifying skin disease upon unwitting Americans and then invite them over for a game of Yahtzee. It just doesn't work.

I see through your shenanigans, Lou. Pandering to Latinos will do you no good. Should you ever choose to run for office, I have a hard time believing they would ever vote for you.

So does Jon Stewart, who had a mariachi band play The Daily Show theme song when Dobbs visited the program.

Dobbs confirmed Tuesday that he would consider a 2012 run for the White House. I'm not sure what's more hilarious; a mariachi-loving Lou Dobbs or a literate Sarah Palin playing author.

Time will tell.
