I-Man puts the "i" in intolerant



Take a look at cocaine-addict Don Imus spreading some "love" about the Rutgers University basketball team yesterday morning. A major uproar ensued, and this morning, he had to apologize...



I'll give the "I-Man" (does that stand for intolerant?) a microscopic amount of credit for formally apologizing, but that's about it. It's patently absurd that a man who has been in broadcasting this long with an audience the size of his (I'll never understand either one) would make a comment like that.

Knowing the tempestuousness of Imus, I'm sure he was TOLD to read an apology. I sincerely doubt that he decided out of the goodness of his long-suffering heart to make an apology. Listen to the video again - I think he truly believes that he's being genuinely funny. Maybe at a Klan rally, but that's about it.

Do us all a favor, Imus - go back on the blow and just retire - go to your Arizona ranch and wither away in the desert, only to be gnawed at by buzzards.

Imus has no place in broadcasting. Then again, the American people are treated to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Insanity, who say equally hateful things and never or rarely get called out, so I can at least understand Imus thought he could get away with it.

Nice job, stupid.
