I don't see the justification for dragging the man through the media gauntlet over a quick remark which was so obviously not intended to be what everyone is claiming it to be. The censorship in this country is out of hand and it's propelled by sound bite-addicted boob tube zombies. |
Come on UW it is an accomplishment to win a basket ball championship, and to be an honor student at a University. That means they worked hard and they are smart they should be proud.
This wasn't just one quick remark either on Imus's part. He has been crossing the line for years with his remarks. I think his last remark was just the icing on the cake. I'm glad he got fired and think he deserved it.
