Al News Al the Time

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.
