I see that Senator Obama had to chime in and call for Imus to be fired. A little late to the party, weren’t you, Barack? I guess he just couldn’t sit back and watch Sharpton suck all the oxygen out Barackobamamania.
Rutgers coach Vivian Stringer says it’s time to “go forward and let the healing process begin.” Healing process? What healing process? I’m not buying any of this nonsense that the Rutgers women’s basketball team was egregiously hurt by Imus’s comments. Tennessee wins the championship and Rutgers gets all the publicity. It wasn’t the Tennessee girls who were sitting before the national TV cameras a few days ago. And how many of you can name the Tennessee coach?
Let’s face it, the only people really, genuinely, hurt in this episode are those connected with the Imus show who are now going to lose their jobs. Maybe those were the people Stringer was talking about with her silly “let the healing begin” comment. (Uh oh, Stringer is black … I think … and I just called her comment “silly.” Do you think I should resign?)
