'Esteban Colbert' Interviews Lou Dobbs
I couldn’t help following up on last week's post about Consumer Electronics Association President Gary Shapiro's live, televised fight with CNN anchor Lou Dobbs. The CEA chief took Dobbs to task for his "anti-trade" agenda and the sparks flew.
A colleague sent me this video of funnyman Stephen Colbert's interview with the controversial pundit. In the skit, the Comedy Central fixture poses as "Esteban Colbert" and questions Dobbs en espanol. While much of the one-on-one focuses on immigration, there was this interesting exchange:
Colbert: Listen, Benjamin Franklin was a businessman.
Dobbs: He certainly was and an imminently successful one.
Colbert: Corporations have rights too. You don’t want to deny corporations their own American dream of outsourcing jobs.
Dobbs: I wouldn’t want to… I would prefer that they find a conscience and deny themselves that expediency.
