These young women didn't need to be degraded in that way by Imus, especially on the day following their greatest achievement thus far, taking second place in the National Woman's College Basketball Championship. They were terribly wronged. Not only were they insulted in one of the most vile and despicable ways possible, but it may have very well ruined one of the greatest moments of their lives.
I doubt Russert, Fineman, or Oliphant give a damn about these women's feelings. The Rutgers players can't help them sell their books or promote their projects like Imus does. But god damn it Tim, Howie, and Tom, these women are human beings. Really. They're actual people with the same feelings the rest of us have.
Take a look at these beautiful, accomplished young women and think about the violence Imus and his toadies committed against them:
Go look at all of them.

I think you are giving too much credit to Imus. These woman have achieved a great deal and should be proud. The MEDIA is giving Imus too much stature with this type of attention.
Imus is at best a 'little' man mumbling incoherently into a microphone and looking stupid in a cowboy hat...who cares?
