what an idiot
This is worse.
He’ll get a pass with some penance. He’s a lib after all.
If Rush said it he would be banned from radio.
Had he known Imus had said it, he should have said it himself, but not acknowledged he knew Imus had said it.
When the media went nuts, he could have said he was just repeating what their buddy said.
Worth remembering, though, the next time the Left attempts to lynch a conservative for opening her mouth...
Nappy headed hos, jigaboos and wannabees. Ratings must be really really low.
oh no he DIDN’T!!
That’s just wrong. I can’t believe that ANYBODY sane thought they could get away with calling random girls “hos”...
Newsflash: An idiot said something idiotic.
Good grief. The things some people consider newsworthy. :-)
Thet’re not hos, they’re lesbians.
Move over McManiac,,,ya got some serious competion. Not worthy, but series.
FYI..Sid Rosenberg used toi have a show on WFAN, Imus’ home station, and he also used to do the sports on the Imus show. One day he referred to the two Williams sisters in some derogatory way, and Imus suspended him from the show..Rosenberg has alcohol,gambling, and drug problems, and he was later fired from his own program
He thinks his ranch for children absolves him of personal petty sleaziness, but he's just a nasty man thinking we're fools.
But look out...there are some folks on this forum that worship the ground he defiles, er, uh, walks on.
I'm sure they'll be along in a bit to defend him.
I’m not an imus fan but I think this crack is kinda funny.
Rude crude and disgusting to be sure. And offensive to boot.
“the jigaboos versus the wannabes.”
It’s Jigaboo time for ratings!

When I read the “jigaboos” line, I nearly fell off my chair.
ALso to P-n-V for the transcript.
The Spike Lee reference is right, sort of. I think the movie that Imus’ producer had in mind is not “Do the Right Thing,” but “School Daze,” in which case, I reckon an apology is due the Tennessee team as well.
Having seen “School Daze,” I remeber the two groups of black women at the black college in the movie. The two groups were in disagreement over how black to be. One group straightened their hair and the other didn’t. The straight-hair group had a chant to taunt the non-hair-straightened group, and the chant used the word “jigaboo.”
The non-hair-straightened (natural hair if you will) group, if you’re following this, had a chant also: “You’re a wannabe, wannabe white! Your hair’s straight ‘cause you pressed it last night.”
The Tennessee women are being called wannabes as in “wannabe white.” Not a lot of black people like being told they want to be white.
