Was the remark out of line & inappropriate? Yes
It was not deserving to the Rutgers team. As you said, they are not the public figures that he so often castigates.

The 9th step in the 12 steps of AA is to make amends, the essence & spirit of which is to take the full consequences of our past acts & to take responsibility for the well-being of others. Basically, to take care of "our side of the street". To make the acknowlegement, regardless if it is accepted or not. I believe Imus has, and is doing that now.

I think the news media itself should be ashamed that the two "representatives" they present to castigate Imus are REV. Sharpton & REV. Jackson. I'm sorry to say, and I think it is sad, that these two would do far better good to pay as much attention to help their race rather than sitting in wait to rant against every racial situation that will get them air time, and maybe when this is over, perhaps they should take an inventory of their own situation. And perhaps, they could learn from the statements of the Rutgers team themselves instead of trying to promote their own agenda.

Sorry for the rant!
