I know we agree!

As for the slamming - I think Imus meant it as a joke. I do not think he was being mean. Thus, I think the two weeks along with the apology and the metting is cool.

I think it would have been a far better move for the girls in college to have sent him a letter signed by all detailing their accomplishments, past, etc. I think their message would get across better that way than through the mouth of Rev. Al, who most people think is full of bull, which is mostly misguided IMO.
