This is STUPID

AND from FOXNEWS.COM


NEW YORK — A member of the Rutgers women's basketball team sued Don Imus and CBS on Tuesday, claiming the radio personality's sexist and racist comments about the team damaged her reputation.
Kia Vaughn filed the lawsuit alleging defamation of character in state Supreme Court in the Bronx the same day Imus settled with CBS Radio in a deal that pre-empts his threatened $120 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS.
Vaughn's lawsuit, believed to be the first by a player in the case, says Imus and his former co-host
Bernard McGuirk, along with CBS Corp. and CBS Radio, are legally responsible for damage done to her character and reputation. There is no dollar amount listed in the suit.
Vaughn's attorney, Richard Ancowitz, said: "The full effect of the damage remains to be seen."
"This is about Kia Vaughn's good name," Ancowitz said. "She would do anything to return to her life as a student and respected basketball player — a more simple life before Imus opened his mouth on April 4."
Imus referred to the basketball players as "nappy-headed hos" on his nationally syndicated radio program in April, becoming the target of heated protests led by the
Rev. Al Sharpton. He was fired shortly after.

A spokeswoman for CBS Radio declined to comment.


First of all...Al Sharpton is a pathetic fat fuck who needs to shut up and get a job! Second of all...thi chick who are suing...COME ON!!! IT WAS A JOKE and hell, how many of them even knew who Imus was before this whole thing hit? Beyond that, it was more than a week before it became anything of a controversy so this whole thing is BULLSHIT!!!

...of course now she may try to sue me for calling her a chick. I'm almost out of time but rest-assured, I WILL be saying more on this soon!
