Yes.. I know.. shocking! Don Imus is a dried up apricot, and not in the least entertaining. So last week he called the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy headed hoes". Now he's getting all sorts of airtime.. the requisite meeting with Al Sharpton, and now on the cable news, the Rutgers basketball coach is lecturing on the teevee.
So.. lets recap. A tumbleweed disguised as a radio talk show host says something really stupid.. the news media masturbate themselves to cover the story, and all the black people take their opportunity to step in front of the cameras and get some face time... all as a result of a minor celeb talk show host using the same language that hordes of black people use.
The coach is talking about how the girls on the team have overcome adversity, almost as if they are Iraq war veterans that have lost limbs from explosives and learned to walk again, instead of physical outliers that know how to play a game. It's being carried live on all 3 cable networks.
From the beginning, with the racist remarks falling out of Imus mouth, to everyone who exploited it for their own camera face time, it's been a sick commentary on how fucked up the American culture is.
