Yes, Willie! Double entendre! The basis of humor forever! He was using in
the 70's in Cleveland when he worked at WGAR! Clean and harmless? Tell a
joke, and I'll identify *someone* who will *choose* to be offended by it.
Every time!

Kids? They're 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 year old college students. Adult women.
With mad athletic skills. Not kids. And as adults, they should be capable of
rejecting the urge to be righteously indignant and mortally wounded, and
ignore what was said. They hear far worse from the opposing team and their
fans during every moment of the games they play. That press conference today
was a joke.

Imus is what Imus is, and he unfortunately made the same mistake that the
Greaseman did - he and his stations allowed a morally bankrupt Al "Tawana
Brawley" Sharpton and Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson to determine the playing
field here. He's hired to do what he does - and what he does involves making
fun of, mocking, poking, horrifying and demeaning EVERYONE...including
himself.

Stupid.
