Well, if you haven't been completely under a rock for the last few days then i'm sure you've heard about Don Imus and his "racially charged" comment about the Rutgers womens basketball team. The longtime radio personality was discussing, with a co-host, a game starring the Rutgers basketball team in which he made the comment about them being "Nappy headed" and if my memory serves me correctly "ho's".

Now, I am not jumping to the aide of Don Imus at all. As a matter of fact....I REALLY don't like the guy and he proves, on his own merits, that he is a drooling moron who uses his political program to bash anything conservative. However, I do find it just a bit unsettling that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and all of their bogus movements are lining up to use this as a racial issue. The terms he used were hardly racially charged, but leave it up to the faux reverends to lead a coalition to toss the man under the bus.

I understand the consequences of saying what you think and I don't think that his actions go without some consequence, but using race as a means to force an outcome is abusing the system and honestly....Sharpton and Jackson should butt out. The ratings will determine Imus' future and if the people don't want to hear him anymore....then he'll be out of the job.

Until then...MSNBC announced today that they will be suspending Don Imus for two whole weeks. Wasn't enough to appease the likes of Sharpton, but then again....nothing does.

Don Imus Visits Al Sharpton

There's a nice video of Imus on Sharpton's radio program. kind of ironic that a well known racist (sharpton) is charging Imus for making a not-really-so-racist comment.
