Let's stipulate: I have no love for Don Imus, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. A pox on all their race-baiting houses.
Let's also stipulate: The Rutgers women's basketball team didn't deserve to be disrespected as "nappy-headed hos." No woman deserves that. I agree with the athletes that Imus's misogynist mockery was "deplorable, despicable and unconscionable." And as I noted on Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor" this week, I believe top public officials and journalists who have appeared on Imus's show should take responsibility for enabling Imus — and should disavow his longstanding invective.
But let's take a breath now and look around. Is the Sharpton & Jackson Circus truly committed to cleaning up cultural pollution that demeans women and perpetuates racial epithets? Have you seen the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart this week?

Oh—at that second link they’ve got a video of it there.
XW=XM sorry.
Oh, that’s quite all right. Bad enough just reading it, don’t have ANY inclination to actually see and hear this spew!
When one views the statistic of 70% illigitimatacy rate of black births, one wonders if the Imus generalization was too far from the mark.
We know of Jackson’s bastards. We wonder about Sharpton’s.
I don’t f%*#ng like f%*#ng Snoop Dog and he needs to f%*#ng tone down his f%*#ng language
Yeah don’t—that first version of it WAS embellished but it’s still pretty nasty. The lawyer lady is on the clip but it’s from a Bill O interview and she doesn’t swear like it says. Wish I had seen the second article before I posted the first; however, he is very nasty in the interview and tells Bill O’Reilly to “suck my “bleep””.
ROFLMBO! :-)
Little beverage warning next time, please!
[furiously wipes tea off monitor]
P.S. should add he tells that to Bill O through the Dutch interview—not to Bill’s face.
the source page for that piece does NOT read as it does above for Lakes comments......I have no idea if it did or didn’t on apr 8.....here is the link to the article today:

as you can see, Lakes comments lack the filth....
I was gonna say!!!
After Bill’s fight with Geraldo the other night, 6’4” Bill might actually have jumped across his desk to teach Dogg a lesson! ;-)
It doesn’t—it was embellished—see above posts. There’s a video of it at the second link.
Has there been any information on the Rutgers women’s basketball team? Are they legitimate Rutgers students - and majoring in what - or are they, as MANY school teams are, hired athletes? I haven’t seen this information anywhere yet.
From ABC’s repotring this morning:
“The Rutgers team has an average GPA of 3.0 and includes a science prodigy, a valedictorian and Essence Carson, who plays four musical instruments.”
I’ve thought for a long time Bill O could have a temper on him and the Geraldo interview made me think that even more so. I think you’re right if he said that to his face.
Just a grammar note:
“disrespect” is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT!!
a verb.
“The Rutgers team has an average GPA of 3.0
That is 75%, right?
When I went to school, 70 would get you a D, 69 or less was an E or F, both of which were failing.
When I first heard Imus’ comments, I thought he was talking about the Gators??
Pray for W and Our Troops
>>>That is 75%, right?
No, a GPA of 3.0 is a B average. A 4.0 would be an A, 2.0 would be a C.
That and switching his sunglasses in the middle of the interview had me laughing at his attempt to look important
