Crump: Dobbs Cut Teeth In Idaho

So now we know who’s responsible for Lou Dobbs. It’s the American Legion. Before announcing his resignation from CNN last week, the Rupert-bred commentator told the Legion that his experience with itsnationwide oratorical contest at Minico High School shaped both his world view and choice of career. Dobbs, now 64, was 1961 Idaho state champion as a sophomore. “The discussion was ‘individual rights and responsibilities.’ That experience was fundamental to my ability to communicate in public. It gave me an opportunity to think more deeply and to express those rights and those responsibilities. It’s been an element of my life throughout my life. I never think about rights or privileges without thinking about responsibilities”/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times-News. More here .
