It was embarrassing to listen to, and I wasn't even involved. Imus totally played the "He was being harassed because he's black" card, and his justification was pathetic. He said something like, "He's been apprehended by the police SIX TIMES! They're obviously harassing him solely because he is black." It really was pathetic. I heard the “apology” the next day.

At least he did. Now I'm not too sure. I used to watch him in the mornings on MSNBC. He had a diverse guest lists and I thought he was a good interviewer. I read once that even though his radio show was low in the ratings, it brought in more ad revenue. What got me about the clip that I heard was how old he sounded. I don't think I've heard him since he was fired from MSNBC. He sounded much older. I think Imus still has an audience. At least he did. Now I’m not too sure.

But that's a misguided position as well, since Pac-Man Jones is decidedly an idiot who was arrested, not because he's black, but because he actually broke the law. So all in all, I don't disagree that Imus's time is over. Not that anyone still listens to him anyway.
