On MSNBC's Countdown Tuesday evening, Keith Olbermann made a shocking accusation:

CNN's Lou Dobbs, whose daughters are involved in the "upper-class, super-expensive, elitist world of horses and hurdles," he said, "spends his money indirectly employing hundreds of the very people he rails against each night."

His proof? According to Vicky Moon's book, A Sunday Horse: Inside The Grand Prix Show Jumping Circuit, Dobbs' two daughters are serious horse enthusiasts, knee-deep in an industry that relies heavily on illegal workers. "This melting pot of international equine aficionados," she writes, "does not include the countless numbers of illegal Spanish-speaking immigrants who shovel the 40 tons of poop a day."

So, is there a connection? Is Lou Dobbs in fact a two-faced hypocrite? Have the terrorists won? Decide for yourself. WARNING: The following video contains multiple references to "poop."

B. Brandon Barker is the author of the novel Operation EMU.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
