Don Imus: Hai-Sue

Imus got Mill'yuns
Kia said, “Oh No, Old Ho,
I’m slammin’ your ass!!”

Ladies and Gentlemen, lock your doors, shut off your radio, and feign moral outrage, Don Imus has settled his suit against CBS and may soon be back on the radio.

It’s a dark day in our country’s history because the man who has tried to illuminate folks about the far reaching effects of Autism, has built a ranch to help provide cancer ridden children and their families with self-esteem and a smile, and called a basketball team a bunch of nappy headed ho’s may soon be back on the airwaves. Who will stand up for us and protect our values?

Kia Vaughn, that’s who…

Kia Vaughn is one of the Rutgers’ basketball team players that was referred to by the I-Man as “nappy headed ho’s”. She along with her teammates met with Don Imus and accepted his apology. Evidently, Ms. Vaughn has come down with buyer’s remorse. Or more accurately, in my opinion, she came down with “I missed the chance to make a few bucks remorse.”

She claims that her reputation has been sullied and she has a very hard time getting over I-Man’s comments…Gimme a frickin’ break Ms. Vaughn. You played Divison I basketball, reached the finals, and somehow your emotional make-up is so fragile that you can’t shake off an asinine comment by a curmudgeonly 67 year old radio talk show host? It just doesn’t add up. I am sure you have heard much nastier comments during the course of one of your round ball games. You obviously have a lot of inner strength to accomplish what you have done, so c’mon just suck it up on this one.

I am not as accomplished as you, but I have suffered the same slings and arrows that you have, many of us have. If I had a nickel for every time I was called an “asshole”, I would be a rich man. If Schmoop had to have sex with me every time she called me an “effin idiot”, my wee wee would be one big callous. Hell Kia, if I received a bottle of Italian wine every time Vinny gave me shit on my own blog, I would have one damn good wine selection!!

Here’s the bottom line Ms. Vaughn. People like Wilma Rudolph and Billie Jean King did incredible work trying to get Title IX passed. This is a decree that opened up the door for you and women’s sports. Don’t taint it by making women look like a bunch of whiners over a comment by an acerbic talk show host. Your accomplishments and peers deserve better than that.

In your defense, I hear that you want to start a scholarship fund with any money that you may win. If true, that’s admirable. Here’s the point though…I don’t know I-Man personally, but I have followed him for many years, and I know that if you had told Don Imus that you wanted to do this, he would have written you a check for $500,000.00 on the spot…Suck It Up Kia.

One Last Note: Hey Al Sharpton, where the Hell are ya?

Cheers!!
