Talk-Radio Host Don Imus

Just fire him. From what I hear of him, via his commercials, he sounds like he's always drunk (slurs his words) and acts like an idiot.

“jigaboos”? I haven’t heard this word in years. Imagine a conservative host having a sidekick say this.

for calling members of the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos"

I always thought that they were lesbians, not nappy-headed hos. Live and learn...

(Does anyone actually watch women playing basketball?)

And he's pretty liberal so it's OK for him to make racial slurs.

The “Jigaboos vs. Wannabes” comment was a reference to a Spike Lee movie where two separate groups of black girls adopt these names — a reference to the fact that one of them (guess which one) is comprised of lighter-skinned girls than the other.

The "jigaboos and wannabees" is a quote from a Spike Lee movie.. I think "School Daze"

McGurk was comparing the two teams as the two were compared in the movie.

We watched the UT/Rutgers game.

Those ladies can play!

And the ladies could show the MEN in college & the NBA how to shoot free throws! LOL

I like Imus. I watch for the musical guests mainly. However he thinks because he runs a ranch for kids with cancer that he is immune to any and all criticism. The Wall Street Journal and Congressman Joe Barton found that out the hard way. He calls lots of women “Ho’s”. He calls his wife Diedre the “green” ho because of her crusade against toxic cleaning products. He will get a pass on this one by the MSM except Fox News because he calls Bush and Cheney war criminals daily. Other than that, it’s usually the best programming of any of the cable news outlets in that time slot. JMHO. YMMV.

“I like Imus.”

What does that say about you?

Imus is a bigot. You can make all the excuses in the world but he has a LONG history of making bigoted remarks.
