A Little Class

In the crass smear-off between Don Imus (burning question: does his racism exceed his idiocy?) and his detractors (burning question: does their hypocrisy exceed their opportunism?), one group has emerged as showing real class. That would be the Rutger's women's basketball team. There have been no hysterics, no headline-seeking, and no revenge from that side of the court. Instead, they asked for an apology and accepted it when it was given. That's classy. Maybe in his next job Don Imus can take to insulting radio personalities and fringe politicians; those insults will have a better chance of sticking. And maybe the race-baiters and media moguls can learn a lesson in maturity and perspective from a group of college kids.
