Imus Suspended For 2 Weeks

April 11, 2007 | ISSUE 43•15

After radio host Don Imus referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos" on his radio show, CBS suspended him for two weeks. What do you think?

Cut Imus some slack. The man is under immense pressure to be an asshole every single morning.

That's a shame. I guess I'll just listen to smooth jazz for the next two weeks.
