Hillary Clinton Blasts 'Bigot' Imus
On Wednesday Sen. Hillary Clinton joined the attack on Don Imus, saying the talk-show host’s comments about the Rutgers University women’s basketball team showed "small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism.”
In a mass e-mail sent to her closest supporters, the Democratic presidential hopeful wrote: "This year the Rutgers women’s basketball team defied the odds and lived up to their dreams, providing inspiration to every little boy and girl beginning to pick up a ball or open a book . . .
"Don Imus’ comments about them were nothing more than small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism. They showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African-Americans and women everywhere.”
Clinton called on e-mail recipients to join her in sending the Rutgers women a message of respect and support.

Clinton may have had a personal motive to take on Imus. Clinton’s e-mail blast could easily be viewed as payback against Imus for constantly attacking her on the air — even referring to her often as "satan” or the "devil."
