Incredible that we, the founders of DobbsWatch.com would miss such a broadside at our old buddy Lou. But there it was hidden on the back page of the WaPo Sunday magazine. Guess we just got caught up with the Father's Day festivities, whacking at the piñata 'n all. But then a few former fans let us in on the secret -- breathless e-mails and voice mails, saying, "Did you love that piece on Lou Dobbs this weekend??"

What piece?

Well here it is, from the WaPo's Gene Weingarten. it begins thusly:

"As I write this, it is almost 6 p.m., and my family is assembling around the TV, eagerly awaiting the start of CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," our favorite comedy show.

Now, if you're thinking: 'Hey, wait a minute, that's not a comedy show! That's a serious look at world affairs hosted by a dignified, award-winning journalist,"'then you either:

1) do not watch the show, or

2) are Lou Dobbs.

You get the idea -- it only gets better (or worse, if you're Lou) from there.
