(That is a lie, of course. i knew that it was Rutgers and Tennessee, but I had no idea as to who the players were...and still don't.) As for Reverend Al... he'll always get a pass cause his bullhorn is louder than your logic.spd rdrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543431460609915876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-29561333484101976192007-04-15T12:05:00.000-04:002007-04-15T12:05:00.000-04:00One more thing...I'm not sure that the "biggest lo...One more thing...<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure that the "biggest losers here are the young women of Rutgers." The unexpected spotlight shone on the Rutgers basketball team actually was a gift of sorts. If not for the Imus dust up, most of America would not have had the opportunity to witness the remarkable grace of these young women nor be aware of their collective--and individual--achievements. <BR/><BR/>At the press conference held to discuss Imus' remarks, the team's captain said [paraphrasing] "Where was all this media attention when we made it to the NCAA playoffs?"<BR/><BR/>Indeed.portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787293661302431895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-44037528528869508862007-04-14T12:42:00.000-04:002007-04-14T12:42:00.000-04:00Good post, spd. Good to see you posting:)*Sigh* I...Good post, spd. Good to see you posting:)<BR/><BR/>*Sigh* I was a regular Imus listener, and I'm mad as hell. The brushfire speed with which these three words morphed into 6 days of "breaking news" is jaw-dropping to say the least. The hypocrisy on display topdown is stunning. <BR/><BR/>Yes, yes, yes, his comment was stupid, and he crossed the line with a cheap attempt at humor but how the heck does a charlatan like Al Sharpton get to demand that someone be fired because <EM>he</EM> "is offended?" Where is the corporate outrage at the drumbeat of Sharpton's racist remarks? And where the hell is Jesse Jackson's apology after he rushed down to Durham to condemn 4 white lacrosse players? I'm sick of these self-appointed arbiters foisting their racial lens on every infraction by a non-black, and ripping apart lives--and sometimes whole communities--through their stoking of the same. Pfffffftt. Color me offended. <BR/><BR/>Imus is off the air. Now what Reverend?<BR/><BR/>CBS was forced to pay a $550,000 fine for Ms. Jackson's 3-second nipple "offense." Why not fine Imus a commensurate amount for his 10-second racial/sexual offense? <BR/><BR/>I have to believe that making Don Imus pay $1 million or so to a scholarship fund at Rutgers University has to be more productive--and a better force for good--than the public stoning of a cantankerous, old geezer guilty of crass comments.portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787293661302431895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13022824.post-61440200471882231232007-04-14T04:13:00.000-04:002007-04-14T04:13:00.000-04:00I never listened to the guy, but it was a stupid t...I never listened to the guy, but it <I>was</I> a stupid thing to say.camojackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636605293846764764noreply@blogger.com
