Imus & the "nappy-headed ho's..."

I never cared much for Imus.
Ironically, one of the biggest, self-proclaimed, political correctness gurus that I’ve ever known loves Imus, but that’s another story...
I always saw Imus as a mumbling, grouchy old man.
Still, even here in the “land of the easily offended,” I thought there was supposed to be “freedom of speech.”
If Don Imus offends you, don’t watch or listen to him. This is your right, and it will soon affect his ratings when others join you. Once his ratings go low enough, his sponsors will pull his funding and he will go off the air.
That said, he does have the right to say what he wants to, even if it is completely stupid, as were his comments about the Rutgers University, women’s basketball team, when he referred to them as “nappy-headed ho’s.”
The TV news is filled with this moronic story today.
Al Sharpton, get a life.
Please everybody... just put this into perspective. No one died.
It was completely stupid, what he said and also undeserving of anymore of our time.
Simply turn Imus off if you don’t like him.
