Re: Lisa Fabrizio’s

Love the Spectator, but Lisa Fabrizio’s Faberge sensitivities are really tiresome. Yes, college kids drink beer and look at naked women, as they probably have for quite some time. It might not be worthy of praise, but it doesn’t make the prosecutor’s actions any less reprehensible.
p>Hope the Spectator gives Rudy a fair shake. The Dems have finally dared to challenge their one-issue cranks. Now the Republicans must show they are not beholden to one-note pro-lifers, gun rights purists, and anti-gay rights crusaders. br> — Jason Davis /p>Just one little nit-picky thing about Lisa Fabrizio’s column on Imus and the “Dukies” as she calls them.
Don Imus was born in 1940. He might be an aging '60s leftist, but he isn’t an “aging baby-boomer.” Boomers start with the year 1946 (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush). Please, media folks, don’t lump every person who looks about the right age in with my generation. Neither Imus, nor Rather, nor Kerry, nor Pelosi, Leahy, Levin, Murtha, Reid, Kennedy, nor John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, are boomers. They are all from the generation between the “Greatest” and the boomers.
p>The Boomers span birth years from 1946-1964. Please name that earlier generation, so I don’t have to take the hit for every one of those wackos! Just FYI, I was born in 1952. Imus was 12 when I was born. br> —
