On her campaign Web site today, Hillary Clinton comments on Don Imus' controversial statement about the Rutgers women's basketball team, and asks viewers to send a message of support to the team. Respondents have the option of signing up for campaign emails.
"Don Imus's comments about them were nothing more than small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism," she says on the Web site. "They showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African Americans and women everywhere. Please join me in sending the young women of Rutgers a message of respect and support. Show them that we are proud to stand with them and for them."
