Quick! The Duke lacrosse team is accused of rape...make a judgment!

Hey! Don Imus made an idiotic comment ten seconds ago...I need to know right now if he should be fired! You have 2 minutes! 

Whoa, whoa, whoa there everybody. Why is it the minute a story breaks, we have hundreds of so-called experts telling us what should be done about it? Turns out, the stripper was making it all up. But do you think we'll see the likes of our resident African-American "experts" Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton rescinding their vicious comments about the Duke team? Uh, ya. I think both of the Reverends should be suspended from all bandwagoning for the next month. They're not the only African-Americans that can comment about persons of color, but it sure seems that way, doesn't it? Why don't they learn about the evidence, or lack thereof, before rushing to judgment. And I don't want to just pick on them. It's the whole 24-hour news system that's at fault here. I'm just sick of these "experts" babbling on and on about things nobody knows the truth about.

And in my opinion, the only reason Imus got fired instead of suspended had nothing to do with black or white. It was all about the green. Sponsors started pulling out from the show, and CBS had no other option but to fire the guy. I'm not saying he shouldn't be let go. What he said was definitely a fireable offense. But do you think if the public outcry wasn't as loud as it was (and rightly so), he would still be fired? I doubt it. Money talks, and now, Don Imus doesn't. Then again, I'm no expert.
