So, about that leprosy thing…

LouDobbs Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. From Politico:

Perhaps thinking of a future political career, former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs softened his harsh anti-illegal immigrant rhetoric during an interview Tuesday, telling the viewers of the Spanish-speaking network Telemundo that “I am one of your greatest friends.”

“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.

I mean, what’s a little accusation of spreading leprosy and destroying the country ust by being Mexican, between friends? A Dobbs, Palin, Beck primary in 2012? PLEASE???
