Al Sharpton delivered a list of musts that Imus should perform before he is accepted back with totally open arms. Let's take a look:
1)Imus should settle a lawsuit filed by Rutgers player Kia Vaughn,who accepted Imus' apology and did not sue until his $20 million settlement with CBS was publicized. How about if Imus fights it because he disagrees with Al,is that okay?
2)Al wants Imus to declare that he understands what he did was wrong. If Imus delivers one more mea culpa, I will throw up. He was fired,he was apologetic,we get it.....
3)Al wants Imus to refrain from attacking innocent people. Al attacked an innocent white store owner, an attack that may have led to a fire that killed people. Imus didn't kill anyone.
4)Al wants Imus to have a member of a Black professional organization verbally spar with Imus once a week. Can someone do that with you on your show Al,since you are backing City Councilman Charles Barron, a man who said that if he were elected Brooklyn Borough President, he would look out for African Americans first? Can you imagine Al's outrage if a white candidate said that about his ethnicity? I know you can.
5)Al waits until the penultimate paragraph to decry gangsta rap. Has more Black on Black violence stemmed from rap or Imus? Just asking.

Karl Rove resigns. OK, Bush effectively has one year left, unless he snaps and tries to go "All Dictator All the Time". If Rove leaves, it is lame duck in the truest sense of the words. If the guy who is known as "Bush's Brain" is leaving, that leaves Bush without a brain. Assuming he has had a brain for the last six years, that means that all his decisions will now be brainless. Kudos to those who can tell the difference.
Karl is leaving to spend more time with his family. That is what he said, more time with his family. For the last six years, you spent no time with them,is that what you mean? You ran out of people who hate you,so your job is done?There is no one else you can effectively damage? There are no more wealthy people to make wealthier? I wasn't old enough to really remember McCarthy, but the fear and pessimism created by Bush and his henchmen must evoke memories of that time for those who are.
As much as this adminstration is horrible when they are trying to succeed,what will it be like when they are coasting? Wow!!!
