Imus is really sorry he called the Rutgers University women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos.”

Really he is! And MSNBC made sure to let their viewers know that  ‘Imus in the Morning’ is not a production of the cable network and is produced by WFAN Radio.” MSNBC also wanted to make sure you know that “as Imus makes clear every day, his views are not those of MSNBC,” adding, finally: “We regret that his remarks were aired on MSNBC and apologize for these offensive comments.” They never seem to mention that when he says something they agree with.
“That’s some rough girls from Rutgers,” Imus said. “Man, they got tattoos … .”"Some hardcore hos,” McGuirk said. “That’s some nappy-headed hos there, I’m going to tell you that,” Imus said.

What a doofus. This guy has been around radio and the media long enough to know that to call any women’s basketball team “ho’s” is out of line, but this was even more so.
Open mouth, insert foot and leg.

Imus should just retire to his ranch in New Mexico and welcome all the illegal aliens his bank account can support.

So now Imus has lost both the TV deal and his radio show. I think this is ridiculous and I don’t think he should have been dumped, however:
Imus is a bigtime Liberal. The Liberals have brought on all this racemongering crap. They enabled it, encouraged it, and have used it as a weapon against their opponents. Kive by the sword, die by the sword. They opened Pandora’s box, now it is coming full circle. So you see, Liberals, you stared it, now it is even consuming you. In that respect I don’t feel sorry for them at all.
Jesse HiJackson and Al Sharpton: When are these hypocrites going to apologize for their actions? They are so quick to jump on and profit at the expense of the misfortune of others, but they are absolutely unnacountable for their transgressions. When is Sharpton going to apologize and be punished for his Tawana Brawley hoax, which resulted in riots with injuries and property damage? When is JJ going to apologize and take the consequences for his part in labeling and racemongering the Duke Lacrosse three last year?
F both of these scumbag A-holes. If Imus deserves firing, they should be executed.

Thanks, BonBon, now there are two of us here who agree on this!

This just in:
Imus apologizes to the Duke LaCrosse team!
REally, about this whole Imus issue- who cares? This is mucg to do about nothing.

It isn’t much to do about nothing…we have many people, including 2 racists, calling for the firing of a radio personality for what they deemed hate speech, yet on those same airwaves, we here this same speech everyday, being sold to society by the very people that claimed to be offended…Rap music!
Do as I say not as I do…

Yeah…so?
Still much to do about nothing. I don’t care what Jackson, Sharpton, Imus or any one those rap artists have to say. WEhat they say is pretty much nothing, and this is what all the “much to do” is about
In the end- much to do about nothing. On both sides of this issue, it is politcal correctness run amok. Nothing more, nothing less. If that were the issue, then perhaps we’d have something of sunstance.
But on both sides, spare me the feigned indignance.

Well then why comment?
April 13, 2007 - 07:17 AM on April 13th, 2007
It isn’t much ado about nothing. Not only does this empower Jackson and Sharpton, but just watch the Liberals, Democrites, and racemongers use this to reintroduce the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”.

The comment wasn’t regarding the non-issue itself, but the commentary is regarding people’s reactions. IMO, people are making a huge deal out of nothing here and it is all due to the PC feigned indignance. Folks are pointing fingers and calling Imus a bigot, and other folks are pointing fingers back to the original finger pointer and doing the same. It al seems pretty ridiculous to me.
One can choose to be a part of the din, or one can choose to be above it. That’s my point, and that’s why I commented.
