Boycott the Imus in the Toilet Show

It's time to begin to boycott the products advertised on the Imus in the Morning Toilet Show. We think it's also time that this washed up fool of a radio personality is given his walking papers by the advertisers and network that fund his show. Money talks. No political guest in their right mind will want to be interviewed on that show now.

You see, what you don't realize, perhaps some of you don't realize, that less than a year ago, five of these young ladies were preparing to graduate from high school.

There are five freshmen here. And as they prepared to graduate from high school, they thought about what great opportunity they were going to have to come to Rutgers University and get an education, and play at the highest levels. That's what they thought.

And before you know it, less than a year, they found themselves on the national stage playing for the world to see, basketball at its highest level, and which, I might add, that this freshman class has over a 3.0 grade-point average.

This group of young, innocent women are bright, gifted, hard-working, and they have persevered through much. More...
