Okay, first of all, I am not a racist person. I don't hate any minority, and in a very real sense (being blind) I am part of a minority.
That said, I want it understood that what I am about to say may offend some people, and maybe even surprise them, but can we shut up about Don Imus and the rather stupid remarks he made?! He apologized, got suspended, can we please not run this into the ground, especially since, in their ever-hypocritical fashion, the media that is so viciously lambasting Imus barely blinks when Rosie O'BigMouth spouts her anti-America rhetoric.
I'll be honest, there are far worse things Imus could have (and has) said. At the same time, though, the women have the right to be offended, and I understand their reasons for being thusly offended. I just don't want Imus raked over the coals for this remark when he's said far worse, and the media knows it. Imus is an equal opportunity offender, and he admits it. Everyone is fair game. Heck, my blindness would probably get me poked fun at by the I-man, not to mention my blindingly pale skin. LOL!
If we're going to act as if Imus should be run out of town on a rail, could we have (at least) the courtesy to be consistent enough to want the same thing for Rosie? That's all I'm asking.
