You mean prople like Al Sharpton, Howard Stern, Jesse Jackson, any stand-up comic regardless of race, gender or sexual preference, George Wallace, (enter rapper's name/designation here), etc.?

Imus is an ***, but in this country, that is NOT against the law. He can be stupid, but if that was illegal, all the politicians would be looking for green cards. (f.y.i., that's a knock on politicians, not legal immigrants).

Nonetheless, the over reaction to the stupidity and poor attempt at humor is resolved in one, single motion of changing the station. Hell, it was five days and a YouTube tour before it even hit the light of day.

The FEIGNED offense taken was not only trivial and a sign of immaturity, but contrary to the beliefs upon which this country was born.

Anybody got a flat to wave?
