Imus unemployed!

CBS Radio has fired Don Imus, after many of his sponsors dropped him for his retarded and insensitive comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

I was never a fan of his program; I always found his humor alternatingly sophomoric and corny, though I will admit he has done some fantastic charitable work. However, his show always teetered on the edge of such a disastrous comment, and this was clearly the last straw. He attacked people who didn't deserve attacking, whose lives were not in the "public eye" and thus open to scrutiny, and who are very much NOT what he described them to be.

Also, it's not as if firing someone from a media position for racially insensitive comments is unprecedented (cf. Jimmy "the Greek"'s comments re: black athletes, Rush Limbaugh's comments re: Donovan McNabb).

Sad to see you go, but you deserved it. There are plenty of others who deserve to be fired (see Savage Weiner, Glenn Beck, etc.), but their time will come.
