Nope, I’m not any better. If those words are so offensive that the mere utterance is grounds to destroy one’s career, then let’s destroy the careers of ALL who utter those offensive words.
If, on the other hand, there is a class of people that can use those words with impunity, with regularity, and even with celebrity, and another class of people who cannot use those very same words in the very same context, then one must conclude that it is not those words that are offensive, but the mere fact that an outsider dared to utter them.
People who line up to buy Ludicrous CDs should not, and I would argue can not, be offended by anything Imus said.
