This painfully liberal human being agrees as well.

Someone called a comment into a local paper, saying: Imus is an equal opportunity insulter. That's true.

What those girls accomplished should not be minimized. The class they showed afterwards should not be minimized.

However, I feel they let some shock jock minimize them by even acknowledging a stupid statement made by someone who is irrelevant to them and their accomplishments.

Rkz has it right: color of skin is inconsequential in what kind of person you are. Why do we continually let others' idiocy have any bearing on what we really are?

I'm ready for flames, but this whole issue was just stupid. It was a stupid thing to say, it was stupid to overreact, and it's stupid to pretend that only minorities are discriminated against.

Pssst...Bruce Willis used the word "broad" referring to women last night on the Letterman show. He also made joking references to how many women he has bedded. I am abhorred, offended, downtrodden. He has demeaned my womanhood with his callous, uncalled for statements. I demand the immediate dismissal of Bruce from whatever contracts he has, I want his new movie pulled from the theaters, and his old ones from the DVD store shelves. I want a public apology, though that won't be enough. I want him stripped of his title "Maxi-Mega Super Star." He has lessened the fact that I was born with a vagina, and goddammit, I'm not going to take it anymore! Don't even get me started on Howard Stern's attitude towards women (the shock jock, not the "not Anna Baby Daddy" guy.)
