This is classic Lou Dobbs, being as ethnocentric and nationalist as ever, calling St. Paddy's Day an "ethnic" holiday. I find it incredibly stupid to class that celebration as a "holiday". Did the government stop working for a day? Did banks and the financial sector shut for the day? No, they didn't, therefore not a holiday. It is very simple. Columbus Day (however controversial) is a holiday. Banks take the day off, and some government do as well. Schools in California don't, but that's because California gets that he is a guy that shouldn't be celebrated. But that's a different story for another day. Christmas - all government and banks are shut. If anything should be called out for holiday status, it should be all the Christian holidays America observes. there's a legitimate argument there. But St. Patrick's Day? Leave the Irish alone! They might have funny accents and not like the British, but they should be allowed to celebrate a guy who sent the "serpents" away... by drinking lots of alcohol (since it's one of the only things that they're good at, besides bombing people) and wearing green.
It just goes to show Lou Dobbs doesn't understand what America means and CNN should really kick him off the air. He's utterly retarded.
Also, he sucks at making Jewish jokes. There's a fine art to Jewish joke execution, and he fell flat on his face. He's lucky he isn't on any other network ruled by the Jews!
