Is Lou Dobbs drunk?
He's slurring and stumbling over his words. Unusual.

2. Perhaps that bulging blood vessel on his forehead
finally popped and he stroked out? :shrug:

6. wasn't he ill? Could it be pain killers or did he have a stroke?
Edited on Thu Oct-18-07 05:27 PM by FLDem5

10. Lou had a tonsillectomy recently
and it is my understanding he had some complications--didn't come back on the job very soon.

12. Alas, I fear he might not be now
Looks drunk to me. Sounds pretty sloppy. Pretty much challenged corporate agriculture to a duel. Hmmm ...

19. I dunno
But I agree with the general consensus here ... something is definitely wrong. Watch his mouth. One side seems to be working properly, the other seems less mobile ... reminds me a little of Bell's palsey. Or my dad after a good fifth of John Jameson's.

23. so do I
as somebody else pointed out, his mouth isn't symmetrical.

If this is emergent, he should get to the hospital ASAP.

34. Difficult to tell
Lou might have tippled a bit before the show ... rather unprofessional if he did. If he didn't, then a neurological event is likely or even probable. Gotta confess I am a little worried about the old fart.

I just switched over. He seems to be! I hope he's not ill.

Can't stand the bastard, but I don't wish him harm.

17. A denture problem?
Sounds like my mom when she gets new dentures. Doesn't sound like a drunken slur to me.

30. I hope not, but I doubt it's drunkeness.
Maybe edema in his throat and a reaction to painkillers?

27. It doesn`t even sound like him.
Shame on CNN for allowing him to go on when something is so obviously wrong.

35. Wow. He looks awful! Stroke?
He doesn't seem drunk. he seems as if he's having a stroke right on teevee.

Also, I've not watched him in years. He looks frail and skeletal.

37. he has lost weight recently
....and he has adopted a more bitter, curmudgeonly attitude in the last couple of weeks, far more aggressive than previously when he smiled a lot.

38. I think he's so angry over immigration he's totally lost it.
I used to be a big fan of his, but he's jumped WAY over the shark.

Now he says he's moving to 7:00 p.m. for his first daily broadcast. I guess he thinks he can steal Keith Olberman's audience.
