Al Sharpton

Monday, Apr. 09, 2007 - 2:45 p.m.

In a rare second entry of the day, I'm going to speak out for Don Imus.

He apologized for referring to some members of the Rutgers Women's basketball team as 'Nappy-Headed Hos'.

Humor gets out of hand on that show. It always has and it always will.

As penance, The Reverend Al Sharpton wants Don Imus OFF THE AIR.

If you want Don Imus off the air, fine. That means the Imus Ranch will be closing due to lack of funds that he otherwise would have gotten had he stayed on the air, but no, you don't give a shit about children with cancer.

You would rather punish a white man who has already apologized.

Mr. Sharpton, as long as you still stand shoulder to shoulder with Jesse Jackson, who in 1984 referred to New York City as 'Hymietown', or your dear buddy Ray Nagin who wanted to rebuild New Orleans into a 'Chocolate City'... then that makes YOU a fucking self-righteous sellout.

In fact, it makes me wonder just exactly who the nappy-headed ho really is.

Okay, I'm done.
