Imus is a radio talk-show host and opportunist who rallied behind Clinton when that appeared to be the thing to do but then quickly fell in line with the right-wing when he saw the right-wing consolidation that was taking place in talk radio and saw the handwriting on the wall. Anyone who has listened to Imus for any period of time can have absolutely no respect for the guy.

Imus is a radio and tv host (on MSNBC). I don't think it's a big deal,but Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have nothing better to do. Plus they're both hypocrites of the 1st degree.

Imus is a radio bigmouth along the lines of Rush, Leykis, Drudge, etc. He called a womens basketball team "a bunch of nappy-headed ho's" That is what he did. Just like an expert carpenter sometimes uses his hammer to smash his thumb, radio personalities use their mouth to taste shoe leather.

Imus is a nobody, and what he said was stupid. I personally wasn't offended because I knew that it was based on comedic license. But he should have known better. Now he has to spend time in sensitivity rehab.
I have to hand it to Sharpton though, he got the job done and he made some good points. I wasn't real impressed with Jesse the Hymie hater's response though.
HELP ME GOD PLEASE!!! chi guy was right again. Have I been kidnapped by an alien?

Don Imus is a syndicated radio personality. He characterized the Rutger's women's basketball team as "nappy-headed ho's".
Lots of people listen to him, and he brings in big ad dollars. He's influential.

Imus is a cranky, bitter dirtbag who has his own morning radio show on MSNBC in which he rants over nothing and blows hot air over the airwaves. what he said was ridiculous. he said that the girls of the rutgers university womens basketball team were "nappy headed ho's". that is just sick...why anyone would do that i have no idea; but thats what he said.

He is talk show personality who "jokingly" referred to some women basketball players as nappy headed whores. Some did not appreciate the "joke".

He's a nationally syndicated radio host who said that the women's basketball team from Rutgers were some "...nappy...hoes".
No clue why what he says has anything to do with anything, but it does.
I guess freedom of speech through racist statements only applies to minorities.
