Because he is who he is, and if his mouth is up to a microphone everyday his true feelings are going to come out. Like feederband said it'd be best if he just come out and say he's a racist.Category 5 wrote:Jason_B wrote:I am no fan of Don Imus, by no means.

Yes but after all he went through last time, why would he do it again?

Indeed he is. But he's not entitled to be paid for it.

However, why is his current explanation for what he said not acceptable? It is something that almost any AA will tell you and that in many cases appears to be true, that they are indeed targeted. In the case being discussed I think that would be one of my first questions since he has been arrested six times since 2005(I haven't heard what for) and would be someone that would appear to have all the advantages life has to offer. Imus does have two AA on his staff on the show with microphones. Perhaps he is tellling the truth as to his intention. Otherwise, I would hope they would have spoken out. I didn't see any gags on their mouths and I doubt that he is their employer. Many of us(this is not targeting anyone here-I am talking globally.) are too quick to judge without looking past the immediate. JMHO or maybe I am playing devil's advocate here.

Well, I agree with you. I'm not an Imus fan either, but in this case, his explanation makes sense.

If he had a shred of common sense he'd of used his explination initially.
