That seems to be lost among all the other comments made in the media, whether by a news person or by Sharpton, Jackson, and etc.Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781254696103584283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749815302986742013.post-21487405062496373212007-04-11T20:16:00.000-06:002007-04-11T20:16:00.000-06:00Thanks for the info, evorgleb!

Really crazy that he gets to line his pockets before the suspension -- where's the penalty this suspension is supposed to incur for Imus?<BR/><BR/>I have to ask, too, if we agree that the issue is getting out of hand. Is it becoming so much an "issue" that it almost amounts to a litmus test (and a coercive one at that?). See http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/04/11/460/ and the silliness regarding Obama's silence on the issue. As a politician, I think it is a smart move not to stick his head in where it doesn't belong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718057439826700446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749815302986742013.post-24571582717616410342007-04-10T15:28:00.000-06:002007-04-10T15:28:00.000-06:00Proof again that Gwen Ifill rocks!Really, a lot of...Proof again that Gwen Ifill rocks!<BR/><BR/>Really, a lot of what I hate about a lot of talk radio and various tv "news" programs is the complete lack of civility - and I'm a news junkie. The Imus Incident is just one more example. At least with this example and its multiple levels of offensiveness I don't seem like an old-fashioned, manners-obsessed k8 when I complain about it. <BR/><BR/>(And it was a great basketball - a beautifully played game - played by active, athletic, strong young women.)k8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07547334819703279971noreply@blogger.com
