Not too long ago Lou Dobbs said this;
"I thought we had gotten rid of this left-wing pest for a while," Dobbs said. "But I guess he is just resurgent. He is a blood-sucking leftist. You have got to put a stake through his heart to stop this guy. So you have to give him credit for resilience even if he is a lefty."
Recently he wrote to the Huffington Post and said this;
"I'm sorry if a Bram Stoker allusion is too literary for some, and for those who could not make what was seemingly an obvious connection, my deepest apologies and I'll gladly withdraw the latter part of my remark"
He seems rather miffed as to why some people might think he meant this literally, but I know why, and I'll explain it.
It's because you lost your creditability as a rational person with your recent birther debacle. When sane rational people make vampire reference jokes, people trust, that it is indeed, just a joke. When loony irrational people make vampire jokes, people question whether or not you really believe what you just said, or if it had deeper meaning, or if it was indeed just a joke. So you see, Lou Dobbs really has no one but himself to blame. If he hadn't utterly destroyed his reputation as a rational voice, nobody would be worrying about him, or his vampire jokes.
