When the New York Times assigned Ifill to cover the Clinton presidency, Imus remarked, "Isn't the Times wonderful? It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House." As far as Imus is concerned, a black woman like Ifill should be emptying the President's trash cans, not interviewing him.

...game...we were taking smart shots and scoring,” Flood said. “Once they got ahead of us we panicked and started taking shots from fifteen yards against the best goalie in the country, which does not work.” The miscues added insult to injury. The Crimson allowed the final goal of the third in bizarre fashion. After sophomore goalie Joe Pike made a nice save, the ball was turned over and ended up going off a Big Red player’s head and into the back of the net. The turnovers were...
