Sen. Fager's letter on Sen. Ben Dictor was as poorly conceived as it was inaccurate.
Perhaps Fager forgot about the special meeting on Amendment 2 that Ben organized, a meeting at which every senator, including Fager, approved a resolution urging students to educate themselves on the potential effects of passing that ballot initiative.
Perhaps Fager overlooked Ben's efforts to reach across the table and incorporate Independent and Gator Party senators in the drive for socially responsible investing and food service reform last spring.
Perhaps Fager tuned out during Ben's drafting and presentation of the resolution commending UF students across political lines for their astounding campaign work in the 2008 election season.
Of course, it would be politically expedient for Fager to discount Ben's tireless effort in building a broad, bipartisan front to oppose and eventually defeat legislation that would have stripped minority voices of their rights in the Senate.
It's likely that if the Senate had not been approached with such abusive measures, Dictor's time could have been put toward some of the platform ideas Fager seems to value with such fortitude.
The irony in Fager's diatribe is not the laughably erroneous caricature it paints of Ben; rather, it's that Ben is one of the only senators to have "proven results" from the last semester.
