Don Imus Out on His Ass

Its good to see a crusty old white bigot like Don Imus get served with a ticket to the unemployment line. Although we all know what’s going to happen. Some satellite radio station is going to snap the little bugger up and give him a nice fat contract. At least he will no longer be able to spew across the public airwaves.

From the Huffington Post:

Don Imus’ racist remarks got him fired by CBS on Thursday, the finale to a stunning fall for one of the nation’s most prominent broadcasters.

Imus was initially suspended for two weeks after he called the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos” on the air last week. But outrage kept growing and advertisers kept bolting from his CBS radio show and its MSNBC simulcast, which was canceled Wednesday.

“There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society,” CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. “That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision.”
