Can't say we'll miss Lou Dobbs' whining

It's just incessant. And yes, I realize he'll continue with the comical victimization shtick on his radio show, but at least he'll no longer be a national player.
I'm reminded of the trademark Dobbs whine, which is always mixed in with his over-inflated sense of self-importance (a truly toxic cocktail) in this recent interview posted at GQ [emphasis added]:
They are coordinating with a number of groups, including the Center for American Progress. The usual suspects. To carry out constant and absolutely insidious and sordid attacks on me. And the reason they're doing so, I'm the leading independent voice, and I am critical on their policies and intent, on unconditional amnesty, and leaving the borders and ports unsecure.
Shorter Dobbs: He really, really hates being fact-checked.
Lets switch one word, and add one word to this sentence.
For me, to carry out constant and absolutely insidious and sordid attacks.
Who does that sound like ????
Well, all right. That much is true. MMfA has been slowly amassing evidence of your growing wackiness, Lou. Chiefly your conversion to status of leading 'birther' in the nation, and your somewhat shrill rantings about immigration.
sordid: marked by baseness or grossness.
See, this one? Not so much. While it's patently obvious that your fecal matter is comparably odoriferous to anyone else's, regardless of your opinion on the subject, this is not, repeat not, what constituted the charges against you. Rather, it was the words from you own lips that caused you this grief. The wound is self-inflicted, Mr. Dobbs, and you are angry at those who pointed this out.
I will miss Dobbs, but only for all the misguided, and therefore hilarious things that came out of his mouth.
a) Glenn Beck
b) Sarah Palin
c) Mark Levin
d) Lou Dobbs
e) all of the above
Back to the Fever Swamp Lou. It's really your natural home anyway.
Imagine Dobbs with the dial cranked to 10.
