From an August 11 Huffington Post article:
CNN host Lou Dobbs is expressing some regret for referring to former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean as a “bloodsucking leftist” who could only be stopped if one “put a stake through his heart.”
In a statement to the Huffington Post on Tuesday, Dobbs made a quasi-apology, wrapped in a dig at his critics.
“I'm sorry if a Bram Stoker allusion is too literary for some, and for those who could not make what was seemingly an obvious connection, my deepest apologies and I'll gladly withdraw the latter part of my remark,” Dobbs said.
