Maybe we should just “quarantine” the whole lot!
In what is perhaps the most biblical assertion of woe regarding the invasion - invasion! - of Mexican immigrants into our fair land, Lou Dobbs has repeatedly claimed that those dirty people have brought with them 7,000 cases of leprosy.
Except, they haven’t. In fact, the U.S. has seen a total of 7,000 cases of leprosy in the last 30 years. One would think this would be an easy thing to fact check, but apparently Mr. Dobbs is too busy to hire an intern.
This suggests two things. First, how long before CNN carries images of the Rio Grande flowing as a river of blood? And second, yellow journalism is back, except now it’s on TV.
Progress, shmogress. People stay the same.
UPDATE: Oh, and speaking of television, Bill O’Reilly and Donald Trump discuss how much they hate Rosie O’Donnell. Watching that clip, I felt like a horse trapped in a burning stable.
Plus, I just threw up in my mouth. A lot.
