SHUT UP, AL!!!

Dear Al Sharpton,

Now that Dan Imus has been fired, will you please do the world a favor and shut the fuck up? Yes, he is a racist and a misogynist, but he certainly doesn’t owe you an apology, nor does he have to speak to you. Oh, and speaking of apologies, all packed for your trip to North Carolina? I hear you are speaking out against “publicly degrading” other people:

“Sharpton praised Moonves' decision Friday and said it was time to change the culture of publicly degrading other people. “I think we've got to really use this to really stop this across the board," he told CBS's "The Early Show."

Well, Al, that is great to hear! I am sure the boys over there at Duke are waiting with baited breath for your humble apology. Bring your buddy, Jesse.

And speaking of assholes, I don’t know if you have read the U.S. Constitution lately, but I have; they really stress that in the whole bar review program. But anyway, as far as I can tell, no one in this country, regardless of their race or gender, is guaranteed an asshole-free existence. It is not against the law to be an asshole. Just ask Tom Cruise.

Since the beginning of mankind, there have been rude, socially repugnant people, of all races, genders and ethnicities, walking around being assholes. There is no reason to believe that is going to stop anytime soon. Seeing as how Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, and you and your buddy Jesse keep reproducing, it’s more fun times to come!

And what have you been telling the ladies at Rutgers? Some of them have said they are “scarred for life,” it has “ruined the championship,” and some “will never get over this.” You better suck it up ladies; the world is full of people like Don Imus. Who cares what an old, ugly, ignorant has-been thinks? Ladies, ladies, you are getting an education, you are stellar collegiate athletes, don’t let this get to you. It’s not worth it.

Al, do you really think the CBS fired Imus because they are concerned about “young women of color”? Please, it’s all about the Benjamin’s.

"There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. "That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision."

Yeah, that and the fact that they are going to be bankrupt if all the advertisers pull out with their $$$. What he really meant to say was, “Shit, ever since Howard Stern left, our company has been in the toilet financially, Imus was all we had left, and now he has run his mouth off and caused all of our advertisers to flee like we have VD. We better give Imus the axe so Proctor and Gamble, Sprint, Staples, etc. get back on board with the cash. I don’t want to end up a Barista at Starbucks.”

CBS and Moonves don’t give a shit about the ladies at Rutgers, “young women of color,” their employees, or anyone else for that matter. Money makes the world go ‘round…

So Al, since Imus is pounding the pavement today, you can get the hell off your soapbox.

I read yesterday that Halle Berry is starring in a new comedy titled, “Nappily Ever After.”

Seriously?!?!?!?!!?
