I wish that the court system would have the authority to levy a large fine against the filers of these frivolous lawsuits……………..

Although the topic is interesting to discuss, and I like Ryan’s comment about her trying to turn this into a lottery ticket, I couldn’t give 2 hoots about the outcome here.

Imus was wrong without a doubt, but this is also wrong. It is important for the good of the country that this not be allowed to stand. What a shame that she has given in to the temptation to try to turn this into money.

Just another idiot viewing a lawsuit as a lottery ticket.

You know, my initial sympathy for the women evaporated quickly after they took their victim act on the road. Sure, they didn’t deserve to be called “nappy headed hos” but so what? Are they the first people in history to be called mean names? This was a golden opportunity for them to act with class and dignity – and sadly, I’ll bet many of them are acting that way but now are overshadowed by one spectacular whiner.

This case will never fly. Libel suits are notoriously difficult to prove.

In this case, she would have a hard time showing how she suffered any harm or damage from Imus’ comments. Besides that, he didn’t mention her by name, which I think is a requirement under the law (any attorneys, please comment if that’s not correct). Think about it – until you read the excerpt ST posted above, would you have known who Kia Vaughn was? And if you did, would you have had negative thoughts about her? Didn’t think so.

Since they’d probably lose the case in court, this looks like an attempt to shake Imus down for some of his newly acquired cash in an out of court settlement. Maybe John Edwards can help out between haircuts – it’s his kind of element.

And so the Rutgers women, who up to now have behaved with total class, have (well at least one has) been got to by a shyster trying to make a buck out of the whole thing.

How sad.

Well, I took a look at her picture, and she is “nappy headed”. I also heard Imus use the term “ho”on air, to refer to his wife, so he could argue that it was a term of endearment.

Sharpton is “kewpie-headed”, and he’s a “ho”. A race ho.
