Don Imus will not go away

April 9th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

Perhaps I’m just sheltered - with me, that’s always a possibility - but I had never really heard of Don Imus until he called the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy headed ho’s” last week. Frankly, I would like to return to that state of bliss.

Instead, I am stuck hearing about this decidely offensive guy everywhere. He’s on ESPN, he’s on blogs (now including, admittedly, this one) and he’s entered the national consciousness the way only a big idiot with a bigger mouth can. It’s unbelievably frustrating; can’t we all just pretend the dude doesn’t exist again?

Anyway, just to punish you, here’s footage of Imus’ apologetic interview with Al Sharpton today. Enjoy, you poor bastards.

Also, this is as good a time as any to address that other controversy. Seriously, Trey Wingo’s sorry, people.
