Buckley: This is a hard lesson for Alex Reimer to learn

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Alex Reimer was barely out of the starting blocks as a talk-radio personality when he violated one of the unwritten rules of the profession: Leave civilians out of the discussion.

And that was before this incident with Tom Brady’s little girl.

We’ll get to that in a moment.

In discussing a guy he’d previously dated, Reimer went first name, last name. You don’t do that. Athletes, politicians, entertainers and sports media types are fair game for discussion — within reason, one hopes — but husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, and (especially) children should be left alone.
