Don Imus is in trouble http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=346 for violating political correctness. His sports announcer was discussing the lengthy arrest record of Pacman Jones, and Imus asked “What color is he?” When told that Jones is black, he replied “There you go. Now we know.” Imus now claims that he was trying to say that Jones is being picked on because he’s black:

“Just months after returning to the airwaves with a pledge to mend the wounds caused by his http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2244 about a women’s basketball team, Don Imus is again drawing fire for injecting race into his radio show.

“During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones, Imus asked, ‘What color is he?'”Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones, who used to be nicknamed Pacman, is “African-American,” Imus responded: ‘There you go. Now we know.’

“Later Monday, Imus responded to criticism of his comments, saying he had been misunderstood.

“‘I meant that he was being picked on because he’s black,’ Imus said in a statement released by his spokesman.

Yeah, sure ya did, Imus. Sure ya did.

You know, Don, medical technology has come a long way in the past few years. Why don’t you inquire about the possibility of a spine implant?
