Here is an email I got from the Hillary Campaign:
When our children are young, we teach them to dream big and reach for the stars, and that if they work hard enough they can accomplish anything.
This year the Rutgers women's basketball team defied the odds and lived up to their dreams, providing inspiration to every little boy and girl beginning to pick up a ball or open a book. These remarkable young women reached the pinnacle of success and won the hearts of basketball fans everywhere with their grace, skill, and poise. They are role models deserving our praise -- and our support.
Don Imus's comments about them were nothing more than small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism. They showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African Americans and women everywhere.
Please join me in sending the young women of Rutgers a message of respect and support. Show them that we are proud to stand with them and for them.
Just because the old fart is a bigot, why do we have to incorporate this into the 2008 campaign? I don't think Imus has any political influence over any election. The man is older than dust and I am willing to bet not one of the Rutgers women's basketball players have even heard of Imus. Hillary we all know that you support African Americans, women, all minorities, etc, after all you are married to the first black president. We don't need to hear about your thoughts on the issue. Imus screwed up, big time. By giving his comments more attention he will gain free publicity, which will probably give him higher ratings (which he does not deserve). Please do not add fuel to the fire in the media on this matter. There are more important issues like the War in Iraq, Attorney General scandal, etc.
