Me - Don Imus and Howard Stern???

Answer to the subject line....
A fan - an Icon - and a rich Dope. (But for once I agree with Howard!)

I've been watching and listening to all the hub-bub concerning what radio talk-jock Don Imus said last week about the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team. At best it was ugly & highly inappropriate. (For those of you who haven't heard about it - Goggle it).

First-things-first....Don, no matter how much I'm a fan of yours.....you should be ashamed for what you said....you know you should always maintain enough control over what you're constructing in your head, so you can stop yourself from saying "STUPID SHIT" across the FCC regulated airwaves.

HOWEVER.......for the way he's getting excoriated both in the printed press and on all the channels, you'd have thought that Imus went on a 20 minute diatribe using every racial epithet known to man and dropped numerous "N-bombs" along the way! He didn't! He made a terrible terrible comment about very very talented African American Women. He has said he was sorry now numerous times, on numerous occasions, and on various venues - and he's still getting bludgeoned - three days later.

For once I agree with Howard Stern, who, when asked what he thought Imus should do said, "Tell them to F#%K OFF!" I couldn't agree more, and I'll tell you why.

The reason I'm sick of this media circus "lynching," is because of two of the main "lynchers."

"The Reverends" .... Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. These two walking ethnic slurs are trying to get Don Imus fired! These two ordained "highwaymen" for holding-up Corporate America for perceived injustices. These two "Men of the Cloth," who set race relations back 50 years every time they open their mouths!

Let's look at each of them, shall we? Jesse Jackson has built his career around his early association with a great American hero - Dr. King. (Believe me Rev. Jackson, the last great thing you did was walk along-side Dr. King. Unfortunately, you didn't learn anything from that association!) Now he spends his time holding up Corporate entities too stupid to get out of his way, and paying for illegitimate children. And the Rev. Sharpton.....we all remember him. He was the ministerial miscreant that to-this-day perpetuates the "Tawanna Brawley Affair" as a historical fact. Let's just say that "facts" never stood in the way of either of these two "men of God" getting their message across or their contributions collected. And their message is always consistent.....it's always divisive....it always plays the race card....and in many cases it can always go away for the 'right' contribution amount. But, have any of us EVER - black or white - heard Slur Jesse or Slur Al ask for forgiveness when they have accused someone unjustly???? Nahhhh!

Don Imus admits to not being a saint. Over the years he has poked fun at his earlier problems with drugs and alcohol. But I would venture to guess that since he's sobered up, Imus has done more for children in need and their families - regardless of their background or ethnicity - than Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have, put together!

So now Imus will accept his punishment of a 2 week suspension - which he should. And I bet you'll hear him apologizing for this again from time-to-time in the future. He certainly has more class than what Howard suggested he say.

But as far as I'm concerned, as far as Al & Jesse seeking their brand of additional "ju$$tice."

Rev. Al ??..... Rev. Jesse??? ....... "F$#!K OFF!"
