Shamed Don Imus back on air
p2pnet news | Radio:- Every time he’d, “get upset about how he was treated – he was fired from CBS Radio and MSNBC – “I would remind myself that if I hadn’t said what I said, then we wouldn’t be having this discussion.”
‘He’ is, of course, Don Imus,” and the quote comes in an Associated Press story on his return to the airwaves.
He was ignominiously fired after calling the Rutgers University women’s basketball team, with eight African-American and two white players, “nappy-headed hos“.
And as of today, he’s back.
“I didn’t see any point in going on some sort of ‘Larry King’ tour to offer a bunch of lame excuses for making an essentially reprehensible remark about innocent people who did not deserve to be made fun of,” he said Monday during the debut on WABC-AM.
The “infamous defamer is set to hit the airwaves of WABC-AM, the flagship station in New York, acquired by Citadel last year when it bought Walt Disney Co.’s Radio station assets,” said Hollywood Today when news of Imus’ return was first announced.
Adds AP:
“Shortly after the program started at 6 a.m., Imus introduced his new cast, including two black comedians, Karith Foster and Tony Powell.
“While Imus pledged to use his new show to talk about race relations, he added: ‘Other than that, not much has changed. Dick Cheney is still a war criminal, Hillary Clinton is still Satan and I’m back on the radio’.”
