Imus: "There Is No Malice in My Heart"

With his suspension not taking effect until next Monday, Don Imus took to the air today for WFAN's 18th Annual Radiothon to try and raise money for a good cause -- and to apologize. Again.

"I am horribly sorry I said it," he bleated this morning. "I know how it hurt these kids and they're going to tell me. But everyone knows what I've been doing for 30 years. It was a joke." Oh yeah, he's a riot.

MSNBC announced yesterday that it was dropping its simulcast of the "Imus in the Morning" radio show, after his disparaging remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team. CBS Radio has suspended Imus for two weeks, effective April 16.

76. Imus says out loud what most of us think. Someone in the media needs to call Jesse Jackson 's attention to skeltons in his closet. Or maybe he should
go take care of his kids outside his marriage that you don't ever hear mentioned. He is always in front of the cameras for his two cents when it involves a black and white problem issues. Everybody knows Al Sharpton is a nut and works the media the same as Jackson. You would think the talk shows would not give them the time of day. But, that is for ratings only.
Thanks

77. Don Imus has more class than any of the ones who wanted him fired. He apologized and for what no one has accepted his apology. At least he said Iam sorry. None of these so call righteous people has once said we accept your apology. I hope the team will forgive him that is really all that matters anyway. Please teach your children to forgive doesnt mean you forget it but it is decent and shows character and how you were raised.

78. Leave the guy alone already! What kind of a society are we when the only solution to rectifying a mistake is total destruction of an individual????? Now that Sharpton and Jackson have gotten away with this crap, it will only empower these two idiots to run roughshod EVERY time they don't like what someone says. Is there another person besides Bo Dietl with any courage to come to the defense of this man? He said he's sorry and he needs to STOP saying it now. Enough already! Don Imus, don't let them humiliate you anymore. Just drop it and whatever happens, happens. And one wonders why race relations are what they are in this country. This is a prime example of a "lynching" of Don Imus.

81. how strange...don imus a rcovering alcoholic and doper...who is probably legally not responsible for any of his actions...is tarred and feathered ridden out of town on a rail...while the 3 duke lacrosse players...screamed out much worse epithets at the two black strippers will be let back into duke with open arms.there is probably a law in the duke rules requiring , sanctions or suspension for making the comments the 3 duke lacrosse players screamed out at the black strippers and for drinking underaged.a like occurence happened with the dutch raper in aruba who was the last person to see the hollaway teen.even though he is still under investigation for her demise..he too was let back into school. gee it must be nice to be a member of the privilged class and never have to answer for your crimes.

82. I have not commented for a couple of days,I wanted to see the postings and make a fair opinion before I went off. What Don Imus did was very hurtful to the African American community and to all women in general .When this story was released in the media, I posted that this was RACIST and SEXIST. He has since apologized and been removed from his show. Now everyone is saying its alright now and he received his punishment, OH NO its not alright, theres no forgiveness for this Brokeback Throwback "cracker" from the 60's who disparages African Americans. To the rest of you RACIST posting on this story you can go back in your caves and compounds dragging your knuckles and clubs like prehistorics from the stone age where you came from 2000 years ago. Its a new day for African Americans and we will prevail over the Racist. I will Never Ever give up my Fight against RACISM!,NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

83. Exactly Sharon, Maybe I wrote too quickley, I mean that - Move on - It;'s not worth the damage that can be caused to others by a misuse of words. This is a gift Horse why turn it away when so much more right can be done by accepting an apology. Or as my example made an attempt to show, everyone keep to youreslf and screw the thy neighbor as thyself.

84. Farrah, you just proved that you're no better than Imus.
Signed, a "cracker"

85. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are jobless and are stuck with issues back in the fifties. Furthermore, they are self-elected fire starters… and their achievements are what in modern times?

86. Enough already. If we are all equal why don't we have equal responsibilities? When I stop hearing "hos" in rap music I think there should be outrage if a white person says it.

88. When rappers talk about hos they're talking about groupies. Women who will sleep with security guards just to get next to stars. Any woman that does that is a ho.
