You know, I can’t stand Rosie. ABC just has to cut her loose.

Don Imus to Tim Russert: Bush Doesn't Care 'Enough' About Black People

Nationally syndicated radio host Don Imus is echoing comments of Bush-bashing rapper Kanye West, telling guest Tim Russert Tuesday morning that President Bush doesn't care "enough" about black people.

"Kanye West said during a concert on NBC that George Bush doesn't care about black people, which I don't believe," Imus began.

"What I do believe is that neither he nor anyone else cares enough about them," he told the NBC newsman. "And if you're a black person in New Orleans, what else are you supposed to think? The facts are the facts."

You see much daylight between the race baiting Sharpton and the race baiting Imus?

I don’t understand some of you calling this pc. Some suspensions are pc motivated, sure-not this one. Imus’ statement was way out of line. The uproar over something so incredibly inconsequential just illustrates how unserious a culture we've become. I would think that last week's body count from illegal alien drunk drivers would warrant at least a fraction of this amount of media attention.

I don’t understand. He’s a worker. Why not fine him two week’s pay instead of giving him a two-week vacation? is it really punishing him to send him off for two weeks?

I’d rather see them fine him a month’s pay to be given to the Rutger’s athletic association.

Disagree that this is political correctness run amok. Would you like someone to talk about your daughter as a “nappy hair ho” with no recourse? Most people find this offensive.

Of course if you are a rapper you are merely reflecting your community standards and you get a free pass along with greenbacks and possibly a crappy grammy.

Imus is old, senile, lives in an ivory tower, and probably forgot he was on TV.

HOWEVER, the Old Fart should be fired/suspended/fried the day Charles Barkley is punished for his racist comments about whites.

Barkley says grossly offensive things about whites all the time (and so does Chris Rock) — and what happens? Nothing...

What I feel like doing when I hear Al Sharpton preaching about doing the right thing to Don Imus. What a hypocritical fool. Uh, Tawana Brawley anyone?

There is no sympathy for Imus. A better suggestion would be a two weeks suspension of MSNBC and the NBC network or better yet, close Disneyland for three weeks.

Didn't "yo momma" tell you the sticks and stones thing? Live it, love it. Go on your merry way secure in the knowledge that the "No" didn't harm you.

Or not.

I don’t much care what the idiot said.

I have little patience for adult children.

“Mommy, Mommy, he called me a bad name!”

It’s pathetic.

The correct film is “School Daze” and Spike did not write in “nappy haired hos” into the script.

Nappy hair does go up against straightend hair.

Imus is a nobody. Who cares about him, anyway.

LOL, what's pathetic is conservatives whining about the employee/employer relationship.

Taking umbrage about coke addled limo liberals calling young women whores used to be called good manners.

The times they are a changing.

Actually, I have generally enjoyed Imus when listening to his broadcast. He does have Arizona ties. There is a Judge in Kingman, AZ that is, IIRC, a cousin. I have been in his court a couple times. No comparizon. The Judge has NO sense of humor!
