But he looks so tolerant and understanding . . .
Remember the controversy surrounding Don Imus last year when he called the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos"? He doesn't. The radio host had some rather interesting remarks about embattled NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones this morning . . . and by interesting I mean "cross-burning" . . . that's an adjective, right?
[Newsman Warner Wolf]: "Defensive back Adam 'Pacman' Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys -- here's a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas nightclub --IMUS: "Well, stuff happens, you're in a nightclub for God's sake. What do you thinks gonna happen in a nightclub? People are drinking, they're doing drugs, there are women there, and, uh, people have guns."
Let me interrupt for a second . . . *scratches head* . . . where are these nightclubs Don Imus is going to? That sounds like something out of Saigon, circa 1965.
WOLF: "He's also, he's been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005."IMUS: "What color is he?"
WOLF: "He's African American."
IMUS: "[chuckle] There you go, OK, now we know."
I still can't get over that thing about the nightclub. You could quote Jesus Christ himself and still not sound as old as Don did with that comment.
