don imus apoligizes for calling rutger's women's basketball team "nappy-headed ho's"

last week, while discussing the Women's NCAA championship game on his radio show, Imus in the Morning, Imus described the Rutgers team in this way: "that's some nappy-headed ho's there."

This doesn't necessarily strike me as odd. Let's look at a list of Imus' previous victims:

PBS anchor Gwen Ifill - "cleaning lady"
sports columnist Bill Rhoden - "New York Times quota hire"
Palestinians - "stinking animals"
Tucker Carlson - "bowtie-wearing pussy"
Rush Limbaugh - 'fat, pill-popping loser"

Even though the last two quotes are true, to me, this is business as usual. He's always been like Howard Stern but WITHOUT THE CLASS.

Anyway, he apologized so he wouldn't get kicked off the air. And maybe if we're lucky, he still will.

Via NYTimes:

Don Imus said on his nationally syndicated radio show today that he was a “good person who said a bad thing”

“Here’s what I’ve learned: that you can’t make fun of everybody, because some people don’t deserve it,”

By the way, you could probably put a picture of Imus' face on anything that poses a hazard to human health, and it would be universally recognized by every country on earth because his face is so terrifying that it must mean 'keep away.' The picture could even be in black and white.
