Descripción:Don Imus is fired for calling Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" and "Jigaboos"!!! Can we get Al Sharpton fired too?

Descripción:On the April 4 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team, which is comprised of eight African-American and two white players, as "nappy-headed hos" immediately after the show's executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, called the team "hard-core hos." Later, former Imus sports announcer Sid Rosenberg, who was filling in for sportscaster Chris Carlin, said: "The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the [National Basketball Association's] Toronto Raptors." McGuirk referred to the NCAA women's basketball championship game between Rutgers and Tennessee as a "Spike Lee thing," adding, "The Jigaboos vs. The Wannabees -- that movie that he had." Imus initially was given a two-week suspension for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on the air last week, but outrage continued to grow and advertisers bolted from his CBS radio show and its MSNBC simulcast. "There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. "That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision." Rutgers women's basketball team spokeswoman Stacey Brann said the team did not have an immediate comment on Imus' firing.

Descripción:READ THIS...GREEN THIS: Six months into the post-Imus radio/TV era and still no sign of the I-Man; only a new 'verb': IMUS'd! IMUS'd emerged as a 'go to word' to describe being 'railroaded'. To avoid being IMUS'd: (among other things) Never call Rush Limbaugh a "fat pill-popping loser"; Lesley Stahl a "gutless lying weasel"; Cheney a "war criminal"; Contessa Brewer a "fat pig"; Carlson Tucker a "bow tie-wearing pussy". Note: Contessa Brewer responded to the I-Man with, "cantankerous old fool". Tucker Carlson stopped wearing bow ties. Usage bandied about the blogosphere and main stream media: IMUS'd: Verb of choice for stoning an opponent. IMUS'd: v. Excuse for a stone-throwing party. If you ever get IMUS'd don't feel alone. Nowadays everybody must get stoned. Music: 'Rainy Day Women #12 &35', Bob Dylan Album: Blonde On Blonde, Columbia Records 1966 About the song: A reliable account is from Kenzie Buttrey, son of legendary Nashville session drummer Kenny Buttrey (played on many of Dylan's biggest hits): " Bob Dylan started recording in Nashville just so he could get my dad (Kenny), Charlie McCoy and a few others to play on his records. According to my dad, the song had nothing to do with drugs, was a reference to being executed by stoning and the title "Rainy Day Women" was completely random on purpose in reflection of the randomness of its recording. The song was actually never meant to be released as it was just the band's way of screwing around. Everyone swapped instruments, except my dad who set his drums up backwards. Afterward, they decided to release it. I was told that the only time my dad ever heard Dylan laugh was during the recording of this song". Other accounts: Charlie McCoy put a call through to Wayne 'Doc' Butler who brought his trumpet down to the studio. The other musicians all swapped instruments which resulted in that ragged marching band sound. Henry Strzelecki gave his bass to Al Kooper and proceeded to play the piano but he couldn't work the pedals with his feet so he had to lay beside the piano and push them with his hands. The voice that you can hear braying with laughter is Strzecki on the piano. After the session in the control room, Dylan was asked for the name of the song, he replied, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" (reference to the presence of a woman aged 35 and her 12 year old daughter in the studio). It was raining that evening. Tunes basic theme is 'oppression' via biblical stone pelting, although it does have an obvious 'double meaning').
