LOU DOBBS HAS A HUGE EGO

Dobbs was talking with MediaMatter's Paul Waldman and made this outrageous statement:

DOBBS: And you have no standing whatsoever to make such outrageous, arrogant comments.

Dobbs himself is the arrogant one; here's a comment by him on his false claim of a drastic increase in leprosy cases due to illegal immigration:

“Well, I can tell you this,” he replied. “If we reported it, it’s a fact.”

Also in the interview, Dobbs claims he has solid evidence that there is a superhighway planned to go from Mexico to Canada:

WALDMAN: The Trans-Texas Corridor is in Texas, Lou. So the question is, do you have -- do you have actual evidence that there -- that there is a plan that is going to take this all the way from Mexico to Canada? What is the evidence there?

DOBBS: What is the evidence?

WALDMAN: Yes.

DOBBS: The evidence is straightforward. It is the reporting of -- you know, if you really don't -- you know, I'm not going to get -- we haven't enough time for this.

But even the Texas newspapers, which have resisted this idea for a number of years, now recognize what's happening. Citizens' groups are forming all over Texas to stop it.

I mean, do you have any concept of what you're talking about? The Security and Prosperity Partnership, Paul, you're completely...

WALDMAN: Is there some kind of a document that they say this is going to go from Mexico to Canada? Because we looked around, and we tried to document...

DOBBS: Why did you not -- why did you not call? How can you call research -- if you didn't call this broadcast and ask us for these documents and ask us for the proof in the reporting...

WALDMAN: Do you have one?

DOBBS: Of course, we do.

OK, all Dobbs has to do now is release the document(s). ThinkProgress has a video clip of part of the Dobbs/Waldman interview.
