The epilepsy foundation and nbc are using time to soften the effect of al's comments-remember he had a lot to say about Imus.Time will soften feelings and nbc will blow smoke up epileptics *** with a half hearted attempt to say they are sorry-maybe a 1 hour special.If the epilepsy foundation gave a crap about us they would DEMAND his immediate firing to the sponsors.The resulting backlash would bring so much attention to epilepsy.I believe in free speech but by Als own admision to how bad Imus was Al has volenteered to sacrifice his job so no tears should be shed for him.Had he not said what he said about Imus his appology would be good enough for me.
The right thing to do is fire him and the foundations had the power,sadly they chose a softer route-maybe they will take the political low road on other issues like the FDA approvals for drugs-they don't have your back or Al Roker would be gone.
You know those 10 ladies Imus said that stupid stuff about-somebody steal their Ipods and publish the song list-no suprise the verbiage there would curl your toes

how many epileptics have songs about flailing around on the ground on their ipod.

The epilepsy foundation should except nothing less than Als firing-the cowards won't-trust me.
