I'm sure most of you out there have heard of all the hub bub over the comments that Imus made about the Rutger womens basketball team, so I won't bother to go into details about that. However, I am glad to see him call out Al Sharpton over his remarks towards the Duke university lacrosse players and ask when he's going to apologize for his remarks.
While I disagree with his comments about the women, I do think it's getting blown up WAY out of proportion. For example, the women talk about the "tremendous hurt" that they've been feeling. Really? You get your feelings hurt to the point of it being "tremendous" by a washed up 70 year old DJ? That seems a bit hypersensitive if you ask me.
And Al Sharpton? When is he going to apologize to the Duke university players for his role in demonizing them in the public eye over their now known false rape charge? A better question is what is Al going to apologize for Tawana Brawley's false rape accusations? When is Al going to apologize specifically to Steven Pagones?
The bottom line is that Imus has apologized so let's all move on here. We all have more important issues to deal with than a DJ who gets no ratings and is clearly a moron. I don't believe for a second that Imus is going to change or that some world changing event is going to happen, but when Al Sharpton starts opening his mouth, the only words I want to hear is: I'm sorry I called Steven Pagones a racist and a rapist.
Imus is a washed up DJ with no relevance to the real world. His racist views are his views alone.
Al Sharpton is a professional "poor me" leader. His whole job is to sit around and wait to get offended.
