Agreed. But Imus was just using what has become mainstream vernacular. In this context, hos don’t necessarily mean whores. Regardless, he apologized profusely and publicily. The Rutgers basketball team accepted his apology after he was fired twice.

Here's the most common meaning for the slang word "ho".

urbandictionary.com:1. ho - Prostitute, Whore, Hooker, Tramp, Slut

What Imus said about those college girls is inappropriate.

I don't think Imus really thinks that they are "ho's"...and he did apologize to the RU girls, so I have nothing against Imus in that regard.

But then he went on the hypocrite, Al Shapton's show and he apologized for him, that's when he made his final mistake.
