Yes apparently. The Goracle and JFK will be on soon to comment on the “climate change” implications.

Inspire them to what? Rambling, incoherent pap?

She repeated herself over and over again, never took a breath or finished a sentence, just a very poor oratory all around.

She seemed to be going overboard in an attempt to be profound and wise, like she was Rosa Parks reborn. I thought it was a silly ego moment.

And then, it was followed by a bunch of college age girls, apparently not too familiar with the English language, or anything approaching public speaking 101.

In that every one of those women owes their job to the men's football program, they might have done a bit more prep, prior to showing the world where all those education dollars are going, other than to Reebok and Nike.

At some point Imus is going to have to put his foot down. This is spiraling beyond belief. Tell them to shove it & go to satellite.

from urban dictionary.com

a really dark skinned black person with strong negroid features (ie. big lips, wide nose, nappy hair)

1. Jiggaboo in the spike lee movie "school daze" the light skinned sorority sisters refer to the darker sisters of a different sorority as ugly "jiggaboos"

this is taken from an alpha kappa alpha sorority chant: " Zeta Phi Beat As weak as a flea Belong in a zoo Uh, those jiggaboos "

2. jiggaboo

A term often used in the Southern regions of the United States in reference to African-American individuals that possess a darker than average skin pygment (Darkening skin color). These 'Jiggaboo's" often appear to be seen in the dark even in daylight hours, as the whitening of their eyes and teeth appear to glow through the darkness of their skin tone surrounding the eyes and mouth.

"Damn Jethro! Didja cee dat big-o "Jiggaboo" werkin' hind dat couner in-a store? Datsa bout' da biggizt O'Niggah-Jiggaboo I evah dit cee!

3. jiggaboo

Jiggaboo is a name given to describe a stereotypical black person lacking in intelligence.

4. jiggaboo

A jiggaboo is person that reinforces the many black stereotypes such as... Mainly listens to rap music Eats chicken all the time (i.e. KFC) Uses common black phrases or words (i.e "What it do?" and "folks") Wears name brand clothes (i.e. Rocawear or Ecko) Wears doo-rags Lazy and stupid Smokes alot of weed Leeroy and Dominique, both jiggaboo examples, share a conversation as they eat cheetos while looking at thier myspace... Leeroy: "Hey Dominique, take a look at my baby's momma, Taykisha." Dominique: "Damn folks, dat gurl gots a thick ass booty. No wonder you be chillin' at hurr crib awla time." http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jiggaboo

You mean this was all in reaction to a remark he made referencing that movie?

Imus is done - put a fork him - between the advertisors that will avoid - the politicians that will avoid and the overall viewership

Imus has always been good giving it out - but the idiots in the studio made things worse - calling Rutgers girls jiggaboos is not a smart move

I agree with you. But don’t kids learn about the benefits of forgiveness?

Imus producer said 'It looked like the Jiggaboos vs. the Wanna-bees' (from Spike Lee's School Days musical, talking about NCAA Rutgers vs. Tennessee)

So then you get Imus following comment

And then Imus goes on to say/imply that given what HE said, imagine what the real right-wing racists are saying!

Absolutely incredible! I'm a "right-winger" and cannot ever imagine something racist like NHH's coming out of my mouth or anyone else I know on the so-called "right."

What a travesty this story is; the racial eqivalent of Katrina — frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t bring that up!

I am sure they will demand that Bush disavow Imus too.

God help me, bring on the Anna Nicole DNA story!

Oh, I see; now it’s even more of a blowout story.

And notice how they’re all saying he’s a “repeat offender.”

But ONLY about racist stuff.........not about anything else he bashes.

Which we all know is everything.

This has given new life to the race pimps.

Oh shut up, you idiot.

You wont find a single word from me defending Imus. Some of you people need to become better readers.

Rap music is absolutely deplorable, hate-filled and degrades ALL women...but, Imus singled out real, live, actual young women to insult and they were hurt by his stupid, ignorant remarks, IMO, that is the difference.

Please don't misunderstand, I am in no way defending rap music, I despise it, but, I also despise the likes of a foulmouthed fool like Imus, too.

He has made his living insulting other people and has the guy never looked into a mirror at himself?!?
