I was just coming home and heard the CBS News special announcement that Don Imus has been fired from CBS as well as being fired from MSNBC yesterday.

Nothing significant on the news sites yet.

Now that Sharpton and Jackson have their pound of flesh I wonder who the next target will be.

Imus said something stupid and has apologized all over the place this week, but nothing would satisfy Sharpton and Jackson but Imus’ firing.

CBS said the language wasn’t good for young people, but don’t they hear the same thing with rap?

What Imus said was wrong, but I think the punishment didn’t fit the crime.

   Let me see if I have this right. It’s the blacks fault that Imus denigrated 10 young women. Do you know how stupid that sounds? Just because Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are jerks doesn’t give Imus license to do what he did.

   Umm, no, it’s not anyone’s fault but Imus’ and what he did was stupid. The point was he had apologized to everyone and had a meeting scheduled with the girls last night, which he attended. The coach said it went well.

   What bothers me is Sharpton thinks now he can dictate what is said on radio stations and indicates he’s just starting.
