Bye Bye, Donny Boy

Don Imus will not be missed. He had become a fixture inside the beltway and somewhat outside of it. A lot of people had never heard of him before all the current controversy. Maybe he had some talent at one point but he's now 66 and not exactly fresh. Most importantly, HE IS A RACIST. Thank God CBS fired his ass. It wasn't an altruistic move on their part but, despite it all, it sends a message. You can't make hateful and destructive comments and expect to just get away with it and have people laugh it off. This is not the first time Imus has made racist comments. And how about this for his official apology while he still had a show to apologize on:

"Want to take a moment to apologize for an insensitive and ill-conceived remark we made the other morning regarding the Rutgers women's basketball team.

It was completely inappropriate, and we can understand why people were offended. Our characterization was thoughtless and stupid, and we are sorry."

Why include the "WE"? He said it. Not "WE." What a complete and utter self-absorbed insincere goon. And now he still wants to meet with the Rutgers team to say a little something to them.

Don, just leave them alone and go crawl under a rock.

Comments:
I posted this on the Oprah website:

"If you read the official Don Imus apology on his site, when he still had a job, he said that "we" are sorry which I find interesting. The show is suppose to have hired someone to focus on racial (racist) jokes. Don Imus has a long history of telling racist jokes. If there hadn't been such a big uproar this time around, he would still be on the air. Sad but true."

And so it goes. I will post brand new stuff soon. I promise. Very busy right now. Such inspiring flip flop weather too.
