NAACP Are A Bunch Of Idiots

These fools are actually trying to defend Michael Vick:

An NAACP leader believes Michael Vick should be allowed to return to the NFL, preferably the Atlanta Falcons, after serving his prison sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation.

"As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football," said R.L. White, president of the NAACP's Atlanta chapter, yesterday. "We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."

White said the Falcons quarterback made a mistake and should be allowed to prove he has learned from that mistake. On Monday, Vick said through a lawyer that he will plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiracy to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture.

The NFL has every right to give Michael Vick an indefinite suspension, his participation in a dogfighting enterprise was cruel and inhuman, but this doesn't mean that the NFL should act like it's on high moral ground here. Anyone who follows the NFL thoroughly knows that it's filled with wife-beaters, alcoholics with multiple criminal offenses and other low-lives like Adam "Pacman" Jones who've gotten way too many second chances. More reason for Michael Vick to be given another chance one day if he's able to show true contrition during his time locked up and that he's a fully changed man once he gets out. But the idea that the NFL doesn't have a right to ban Vick from their league for life is ridiculous.

Foxy Brown Finally Lands In Jail

How To Stay Out Of Jail 101: just get yourself an idiot liberal judge. Especially if you're a washed-up female rapper with serious anger management issues because no matter what you do, whether its beating people up, pulling their hair out, spitting at them or throwing cellphones at them, said judge will understand that it's all just a coincidence and let you go.

NEW YORK — Foxy Brown was hauled off to jail Wednesday after a judge revoked her probation.

The 27-year-old rapper was accused of violating the terms of her release after she was arrested earlier this month on charges she smacked her neighbor with her cell phone. Authorities said Brown also skipped her anger management classes and traveled out of the city without permission.

"She has an air of entitlement about her," city Department of Probation lawyer Matilde Leo said at a hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court. "Probation is a privilege, not a right. ... She has finally abused that privilege to the point of no return."

Judge Melissa Jackson ordered Brown jailed until her next hearing on Sept. 7.

Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was on probation for attacking two manicurists at a nail salon in 2004. She was arrested Aug. 14 on charges of assaulting Arlene Raymond, 25, on July 30 after the pair got into a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo near her home in Brooklyn.

What Liberal Media?

Some Republican senator (and secretary during Vietnam) says that some of our troops should come home by Christmas and your liberal media treats him like if he's Patton:

WASHINGTON - Who’s the more astute student of Vietnam War history — President Bush or Sen. John Warner, R-Va.?

Warner, the octogenarian GOP Senate powerbroker who served as Navy secretary under President Nixon during the Vietnam War, called Thursday for Bush to begin withdrawing some U.S. troops from Iraq — he used the figure of 5,000 — so that they could be home by Christmas. “Five thousand is not going to be destabilizing,” he argued. There are now more than 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.

Bush warned in his speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention on Wednesday that an American exit from Iraq would have dire consequences, which he likened to the massacres and persecution that followed the U.S. exit from Indochina in 1974. Bush warns of 'killing fields' “The price of America's withdrawal was paid by millions of innocent citizens whose agonies would add to our vocabulary new terms like ‘boat people,’ ‘re-education camps’ and ‘killing fields,’” Bush said.

Warner rejected that analogy at his news briefing Thursday — yet he did so in a way that underscored the potentially catastrophic consequences of U.S. withdrawal. Warner said, “There are no parallels really. It’s a different type of situation we were in … a country (Vietnam) that really did not pose a threat to the internal security of the United States as these conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan do.”

Jane Fonda's Feminist Radio Station Tanks

Look for Hanoi Jane to be campaigning for the Fairness Doctrine to be brought back soon:

The "feminist” radio company whose founders include Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem failed to attract an audience and it signed off the air for good on Friday.

When the talk-radio network, called GreenStone, officially launched in September 2006, NewsMax reported that it was a "new left-wing radio network that plans to appeal to women listeners and counter the dominance of conservative talk radio.”

GreenStone claimed it would deliver "de-politicized, de-polarized talk radio by women hosts for female listeners,” and Steinem said it would offer an alternative to current radio talk, which she described as "very argumentative, quite hostile, and very much male-dominated.”

She also said radio was "overbalanced toward the ultra-right.” But "Greenstone Media’s brand of tepid liberalism didn’t appeal to women,” Carrie Lukas, author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Women, Sex and Feminism,” writes in the New York Post.

Kia Vaughn Is A Money Hungry Opportunist

That can be the only explanation for this:

Hollywood (EON) - Don Imus may be out of his troubles with CBS, but he has a whole new problem as he has been served a lawsuit from Kir Vaughn, the star center for the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team.

Imus is being sued for derogatory comments which made him lose his job as a radio host for CBS last April.

The Rutgers Women’s Basketball team star center Vaughn filed the lawsuit against Imus on the grounds of liben, slander, and defamation.

This is the first civil suit to be filed against Imus and it is likely that more will follow.

There is an unspecified amount being asked by Vaughn for what is called monetary damages.

The lawsuit, according to Vaughn’s attorney Richard Ancowitz, is to “restore the good name and reputation of my client.”

Until this suit was filed, I didn't even know the name of a single member of the Rutgers women's basketball team and I'm sure that neither did most people familiar with the whole Rutgers U./Don Imus fiasco. But I guess Vaughn figured that since she's probably not going to make too much dough in the WNBA, she might as well exploit this sordid episode while she can. Too bad, because at the end of the day Vaughn is the one damaging her name and reputation my looking to make a quick buck off a scandal you'd think she'd just want to put behind her.
