p>If one of the girls had written this, everyone everywhere would be all over them for catty remarks. You go, Ben! br> -- Judy Beumler br> Louisville, Kentucky /p> p> I'm not a fan of Don Imus or Al Sharpton -- or Ben Stein. Mr. Stein's reference to Nancy Pelosi's hypothetical breast augmentation is tastelessness at its worst and is indicative of sophomoric judgment. Maybe he should make a formal apology too.... br> -- Abe Grossman br> Pleasantville, New York /p>

Way to go, Ben Stein.

p>I sat in complete disbelief as talking head Matt Lauer sat and "interviewed" Don Imus and the Rev. Al Sharpton and then asked the Rev. Sharpton if Mr. Imus's apology was good enough... indeed. I am no fan of the bumbling, stumbling Imus, who is a bore and is not in the least funny (except when he tries to be serious), but I couldn't believe he sat and took it from the likes of Sharpton. It didn't, however, surprise me that the collective vacant thinking of the talking heads in the media let Sharpton drone on without holding him accountable for the lies and racist remarks he has made in the past. I don't know so much that the media take him seriously. I think he is on because he attracts people's attentions -- much as a car wreck does. br> -- Mike Kennedy br> St. Cloud, Minnesota
