I think the above point about Hillary and Sharpton needs to be put on a banner at the top of every computer screen in America, and never forgotten for one minute of the remaining campaign.
When Hillary was first lady, my third daughter (she was in high school) had a friend who worked for the phone company in Chicago, and when Hillary came to Chicago for a visit, she had the phone company install eight phones in the hotel bath room. My daughter's friend installed them. There are many ways that Hillary will direct activities behind the scenes, so no-one knows what she's doing.
I'm convinced that she directed Sharpton, and the others behind the scenes, to push push push so that Imus would be taken down.
Al Sharpton first attacked Obama for Hillary. Sharpton is her snarling pit bull.
Imus ridiculed and hated Hillary. Getting rid of Imus helps her immensely. In any run between Hillary and a Republican, Imus would support the Republican presidential candidate and ruin her chances
