Watch Out There! CNN'S Lou Dobbs Almost Calls Condoleezza & Obama 'Cotton Pickin' Politicians!


CNN host Lou Dobbs was able to catch himself before he blurted out the racially offensive term "cotton pickin'" in reference to recent comments about race by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
In an exchange with "Situation Room" anchor Wolf Blitzer on Friday (Mar 28), Dobbs said it was "unfortunate" that Rice had referred to the issue of race as America's "birth defect."
After going on a tear about how America is the most "socially, ethnically, religiously and racially diverse society on the face of the earth," Dobbs broadened his response to the overall discussion of race sparked several weeks earlier in a speech by Sen. Barack Obama.
"To hear a politician, whoever it may be, talk about how difficult it is to talk about race – well, the heck with them," he said. "And I can guarantee you this. Not a single one of these cotton pick…I mean…these, just ridiculous politicians should be the moderator on the issue of race. We have to have a far better discussion than that."
