Some observers may be snickering over the Imus chapter in the story of American political correctness gone beserk. I, however, think it's a serious matter that should be made a subject for textbooks on politically correct freaks who are logic-disabled and also textbooks on the testicle-impaired commentators.
By now everyone knows that Don Imus - the idiot who looks like an old woman in a cowboy hat and who mutters junk ideas at America from behind a radio microphone and to whom nobody with brains ever listens to anyway - has categorized a certain group of "ladies" as "nappy-headed hos." Later, fumbling and falling all over his feeble self in scatter-gun apologies, he used the words "you people." Shocking stuff, that.
Used in combination, the words "you" and "people" are now an inspiration for those who seek with gusto any reason to come up offended by anything and anybody so long as it calls attention to how unfair their lot in life has become. Who knew?
If you haven't read a transcript of the inane charge that "you people" is off-limits, read it in this New York Post report.
This entire war among babies has had the national spotlight through way too many news cycles. So far only one analyst has made any sense in how it might be best resolved.
That analyst is the esteemed radio "shock jock" Howard Stern, the one whose expertise normally does not extend above the belt, which is why he's on satellite radio as we speak. Howard Stern, the one once described as looking like "a Jew in drag with a bad wig," - that Howard Stern.
Howard's quote in the New York Daily news: "He's apologizing like a guy who got his first broadcasting job," said Stern. "He should have said, 'F--k you, it's a joke.'"
At last Stern finally said something I can agree with.
Imus has no balls in addition to having no brains. That doesn't leave much, so who gives a crap what he says anyway?
