Lou Dobbs Called Out (and Capalearno Blog Catching Some Wreck)

Courtesy of Migra Matters, a great video clip of Keith Olbermann blasting Lou Dobbs' hypocrisy in bashing illegal immigrants while spending millions for his daughters to compete in a sport - equestrian show-jumping - that employs thousands of illegal workers. As Vicky Moon writes in her book, A Sunday Horse: Inside the Grand Prix Show Jumping Circuit, the sport of show-jumping literally could not exist without the scores of Latino illegals who tend to the horses' less glamorous needs (including, according to Moon, shoveling forty tons of horse droppings a day).

Nor is Dobbs somehow ignorant of the existence of these illegal grooms. Not only would that require colossal blindness, but a friend of mine who rode on the Palm Beach circuit reports occasionally seeing Dobbs playing poker with his daughter's grooms.... perhaps trying to win back some of what he pays them? Think he bothered to ask to see their green cards?

Migra Matters also offered a particularly astute comment on the Olbermann clip:

Of course some in the blogosphere have known this for quite some time...go check em out and show a little comment love for once again doing the work the MSM (except Keith) refuse to do.

Damn right! Circulate this clip and hopefully it can move others to publicly denounce Dobbs' hypocrisy.
