40 Jealous Whores / Kotz / Media / Politics He Doesn't Have Time for WNPT, But Eric Crafton Will Be on Lou Dobbs Today

Councilman Eric Crafton may have bailed on WNPT's English-Only debate with David Briley, but he apparently still has time for Lou Dobbs.

Dobbs, the former business reporter turned raving nationalist, will host Mayor Karl Dean and Crafton on his radio show today. Our guess is that Crafton feels Dobbs, a man obsessed with immigration, will give him a better welcome than a hometown crowd with a neutral moderator. From Dobbs' website:

In Nashville, Tennessee, Councilman Eric Crafton is pushing a resolution that would limit government workers to communicating only in English. Crafton will explain his efforts, while Nashville Mayor Karl Dean will tell Lou why he thinks it's a bad idea.

I have thought all along that the main reason Crafton keeps bringing provocative (yet meaningless) issues to Nashville is to gain greater name recognition in order to run for a higher office in the future. This pretty much confirms that. Representative, Senator, Governor Crafton anyone? Scary (and hopefully unlikely--you are up there with Sarah Palin for most thinking Nashvillians, Mr. Crafton.)

I really hope people will try to remember than not ALL Craftons are like that lunatic you have on City Council.
