Rutgers Women’s Basketball Squad To Hillary: We’re Pretty Busy Right Now; Catch You Next Time Around Maybe?


While browsing tonight I came across this blog consisting of Imus, Nappy headed basketball hos and Hillary. Thanks to The GTL™ who wrote this article.

That’s right, Don Imus’ so wrongly-described “Nappy headed hos” have had enough of the politicking, which Democratic frontrunner for President in 2008, Senator Hillary Clinton, clearly planned to do more of when she visited Rutgers yesterday to meet with the coach and, as she had hoped, with the players as well.
But, as fate would have it; shortly after her arrival at the campus, the players were nowhere to be seen. Had they not been informed her “royal highness”, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was in the building and was requesting their audience? Where were they?

“Many of the players were in study hall from eight to noon and some had finals,” explained a Rutgers source who said the players were “tired” of all the attention. “These young women need to do their classes, and wrap their spring semester.” …” - Newsday

While it may take “a village” for somebody to get elected to the Oval Office, it could also be said it takes “a women’s basketball team” to make that road a bit tougher. The Clinton campaign will be hoping this embarrassing incident stays off the radar screen and they’d better hope it does (no thanks to me, of course), because it certainly paints the picture of an opportunist being exposed as one via unanimous vote by the victims she had hoped to use as a “prop” for her own benefit — days and DAYS after the fact.

What have we learned here, ‘Hill? Perhaps the amazing young ladies of the Rutgers roundball squad didn’t appreciate being blown off by you for so long as you slowly and deliberately worked your way down the list in your order of importance? Oops.

Yep, it doesn’t look too good at all when the offended Rutgers ladies collectively went out of their way to meet with Don Imus, then went just as far out of their way to dodge Senator Clinton.
