The Glamour is Gone -- Hillary Snubbed at Rutgers


Newsday reports:
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton finally dropped by Rutgers to meet with the school's women's basketball coach -- but the players themselves skipped the half-hour meeting, citing their studies and Imus fatigue.

Clinton had been scheduled to meet with Scarlet Knight coach C. Vivian Stringer and an assistant, and possibly some of the players, Monday to talk with them about Don Imus's "nappy-headed ho" comments.

But that sit-down was postponed due to weather and because the story seemed far less significant after the Virginia Tech killings.

"Many of the players were in study hall from eight to noon and some had finals," explained a Rutgers source who said the players were "tired" of all the attention. "These young women need to do their classes, and wrap their spring semester."

Study hall!!!!

Very sensible young women they are. Far better to get on with their own lives than to serve as props for one of the most annoying and ambitious pols our nation has ever produced.

Remember how excited we all were supposed to be about the first serious woman candidate for President? Seems so long ago....
