Apologies only count when you're a liberal; if you're a conservative (which Imus is not) only the death penalty will begin to pay for your sins. If it were me, I'd never have said it....but that's what the Imus show is all about and always has been. He's been suspended before. Apparently he and his producer were carrying out a little spiel or skit that went too far. Nevertheless, Jackson's "Heimy Town" comment, Sharpton's endless hate speech, Hillary's jew comments, Danson's "blackface" costume and many others get basically overlooked by the supposed disadvantaged.
We all know that the N-word is a political word, and that's all it is. If it didn't get political mileage you could say it all day long on the radio.
