And Another Thing...
Many pundits have asked the same question that I will echo here.
(One example that I enjoyed very much: Mark Steyn: Where Imus learned to talk like that)
While Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were quick to come out and accuse the Duke lacrosse players as being rapists, were they equally as quick to come out with apologies when it was announced that the allegations were pure fabrication?
And since when does a group of young women who have just participated in the NCAA Women's Basketball Title game - not an easy accomplishment - need someone to defend them from a jackass issuing flippant comments? Who ASKED Jesse and Al to step forward? THAT is demeaning to these ladies, if you ask me. Kinda keeps 'em down, they're just girls, don't you know.
And one last thing - the fact that they met with Imus, talked to him, and FORGAVE him... that's class and grace all the way. Methinks that they should intercede on Al and Jesse's behalf from now on.

I fear any statements that begin by saying "should not be allowed" with regard to any type of speech. Sends shivers straight up my back.
