Fox in the stem cell commercial is simply another example of what Ann Coulter pointed out in her book; that Democrats use people who are "victims" to state the party's position on an issue, and then scream if someone takes issue with their stand because of their "victimhood." br> -- L.

With all due respect to the author of The Borking Rebellion, I suggest Mr. Lord may be standing a bit too close to the problem to appreciate its full dimensions. He states "[t]he War of the Boomers is heating up" when in fact what is happening is the long awaited meltdown of the archetypical prototype of his generation, the Cry Baby Boomer.

That said, Mr. Lord is certainly correct to believe that technical members of the baby boom generation, like Messrs. Limbaugh and Bush (who have not merely rejected the phony, pretentious, self-aggrandizing drivel churned out by their Cry Baby Boom contemporaries, but have ridiculed it) have driven the cry babies bonkers. Unlike the hardworking, patriotic, modest, courageous members of this and other generations (i.e., the normal people, the ADULTS), Cry Baby Boomers demand to be treated with the sort of reverence accorded to the burning bush, their every whim instantly gratified and thus take themselves VERY seriously. In short these pompous, emotionally retarded know it alls offer up a deliciously target rich environment to those like Mr. Limbaugh whose true medium is the rapier witted, fast paced, often knee slapping application of reductio ad absurdum... "illustrating the absurd by being absurd" as he often puts it. He absolutely DELIGHTS in taking calls from wounded Cry Baby Boomers who sound as if they have so many Limbaugh harpoons in them as to resemble a porcupine. El Rushbo is invariably polite, cheerful and solicitous in the way he invites these pitiful creatures to self-destruct on air... an offer they quickly discover they can't refuse. Even the legendary if fictional olive oil importer, Vito ("Don") Corleone, would admire the adroit swordsmanship of America's Truth Detector as he brings this offer into play.

George W. Bush, very much like another wartime president (FDR), is condemned as a traitor to his class, in this case precisely because he HAS class. In distancing himself from the nonstop vulgarities of prototypical Cry Baby Boom degenerates like, say, Slick Willie, Mr. Bush is correctly perceived as a direct and very personal rebuke to these spoiled brats and their everlasting sense of ENTITLEMENT.
