IMUS

Although I do not listen to Don Imus (he's not in this market) I do not feel it was appropriate for him to say what he did about those black chicks. But, I also feel he should not have to kowtow to the two biggest racists in this country, (Sharpton and Jackson). We must never forget the Tawana Brawley incident http://eightiesclub.tripod.com/id315.htm and Jackson's Hymie Town remarks http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/frenzy/jackson.htm.
Both Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are anti-semites who have lost all credibility and should have no place at the table of ideas. Imus lost most of his relavance in radio when he tried to switch from shock jock to straight radio in the mid 90's. His audience has been in decline for years, and he was never able to get the numbers that Stern had in the nations top market. For Imus' part he get 2 weeks off and an appearance fee for doing Larry king tonight. We'll have to wait and see what if any aftermath will be. My guess is that this will die down after about a week of special reports from CNN and the like. When the cameras turn to something else, Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson will also.
