I have to be honest, I have not entirely understood the furor over Don Imus's comments about the Rutgers Women's Basketball team. Don't get me wrong, his comments were horrible and I am glad he is being forced to apologize. What I don't understand is the feigned shock of the very executives who have relied on this oldest of the shock-jocks for their livelihood. Now, MSNBC has dropped him from their airwaves, and I can't believe they did not know about his potential for foot-in-mouth disease when they hired him. And did General Motors, American Express, Proctor and Gamble, and the others who are pulling their advertising thing they were advertising on Focus on the Family? Imus was the original over-the-top DJ.
Oh, well. I never listened to Imus unless others forced me to listen, so I won't miss him. But I suspect that there is more than a little hypocrisy going on here.
