"Lou Dobbs will run for president in 2012", you heard it from me first, stated syndicated radio host Bill Press on his Washington-based show Thursday morning. (Locally, the Press program appears on Green 960 AM from 3 AM until 6 AM)
Dobb's sudden CNN departure was not unexpected, but it did catch a few of his peers by surprise. Press, for one, whose bold prediction should not be discounted. Press worked with Dobbs when he occasionally appeared on "Crossfire."
Press said "there's no doubt in my mind that Dobbs wants to run--I don't know if he'll run as an independent or Republican, but 'mark my words'--he's running."
Press has local ties; he's worked in both California and national politics and had a radio stint for KGO in the 90's.
SPORTS NOTES:
**Matt Millen will be a part of the NFL Network's coverage of the 49ers-Chicago Bears game Thursday night at Candlestick Park.
**Nice touch: KNBR's Ralph Barbieri surprised Steve Young on his weekly radio show Wednesday, with a guest appearance by former Dallas Cowboy/Navy QB Roger Staubach.
**Curious comment by KGO news anchor Ed Baxter on Thursday morning; commenting about the suddenly ubiquitous Taylor Swift: "I'm going to take a 'cheap shot. She's only 19 and she looks like she's had a face lift." No word on if Baxter is a Kanye West fan.

The interview/discussion with Staubach and Steve Young was very pleasant to listen to, although the Dull Razor did his best to inject some political commentary.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree, but hey, I'm trying to be objective; many think I'm anti-KNBR; not. Really trying hard to be nice when they do good and critical when they do bad. Nothing personal.
ReplyDeleteEd Baxter, who has a face for radio, is opinionating again, and about someone's looks, again?
ReplyDeleteHe has a nice voice and should just read what is put in front of him. He's no Ted Wygant/Jim Dunbar.
Dobbs has a job at Fox News now, no?
ReplyDeleteBill Press might be wrong again.
