I don't know. Tomorrow?

Mr. Dobbs met with Roger Ailes, the chairman of the Fox News Channel, in September. At the time Mr. Dobbs was viewed as a potential hire for the Fox Business Network. But a Fox spokesperson said Wednesday, “We have not had any discussions with Lou Dobbs for Fox News or Fox Business.”

Interesting.

Maybe he's been dreaming of working for the "network of record."

I liked Lou Dobbs and agreed with him on many issues.

His downfall was probably the illegal immigration thing though. Somehow he has been labeled a racist even though he married a hispanic women.

His downfall was the birther bullshit. The xenophobia was just the precursor.

Yes, because marrying a Hispanic woman certainly makes up for the fact that he continuously claimed that Mexicans were spreading leprosy into the US (which was proven false)*, claimed that Hispanic organizations were trying to kill him (which was false)**, used information and invites guests from segregationist/white supremacist groups without mentioning that ***, and claimed that a visit by the Mexican president was a part of a plot to reconquer the SW of the US for Mexico ****
He may not be a racist in his personal life, but he is certainly a race baiter and a xenophobe.
