Lou Dobbs – money reporter for CNN – gave a talk at the Open Text Conference I’m at that was entertaining enough. (Yup, me and Dobbs, fellow keynoters.) I didn’t mind the general Republicanism of it. I didn’t even mind his greeed-is-good-ism; I like money, too, and I wish everyone had more of it, particularly poor people. But I do think it’s a problem when a national journalist says matter of factly that we were told at the time that we were going in to Iraq in order to bring democracy to the region. As I recall, we were told we were invading Iraq because Hussein posed an imminent danger what with his weapons of mass destruction and all. Dobbs should leave the revisionism to the politicians.

I mean, what does Dobbs think he is, a blogger?
