What the hell is he going to apologize for, he is nothing but a redneck racist jackass.

It’s like telling the grand dragon of the Klan to apologize for lynching someone, what the hell?

If MSNBC wants to make a statement they will remove his redneck ass off the air, otherwise any hollow apologizes are just that, hollow and meaningless. Cracka ass cracka!

***NEW YORK — The radio station that produces Don Imus’ talk show pledged to keep tabs on its content after he apologized for calling the players on Rutgers University women’s basketball team “nappy headed hos.”

“We are disappointed by Imus’ actions earlier this week which we find completely inappropriate,” WFAN-AM said in a statement Friday. “We fully agree that a sincere apology was called for and will continue to monitor the program’s content going forward.”

Imus apologized Friday for the comments made earlier this week on his nationally syndicated program.

The National Association of Black Journalists demanded the immediate firing of the “Imus in the Morning” host. Imus questioned the players’ looks, describing them as tattooed “rough girls.” His producer compared the team — which has eight black members — to the NBA’s Toronto Raptors.

Near the start of Friday’s show, Imus said he wanted to “apologize for an insensitive and ill-conceived remark we made the other morning referring to the Rutgers women’s basketball team.”

“It was completely inappropriate, and we can understand why people were offended. Our characterization was thoughtless and stupid, and we are sorry.”

Gregory Lee, an NABJ officer and senior assistant sports editor at The Boston Globe, said the mea culpa did little to atone for the comments.

“You can apologize, but what does that mean when you have a history of making disparaging remarks about people?” Lee asked about the acid-tongued Imus. “This kind of behavior must be punished. I hope the company and sponsors he has take some sort of action … to educate him.”

NABJ President Bryan Monroe asked Thursday if Imus had “lost his mind” and called for the veteran radio host’s dismissal. Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer was also incensed by the comments about her team.

“I am deeply saddened and angered by Mr. Imus’ statements,” said Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer. “To serve as a joke of Mr. Imus in such an insensitive manner creates a wedge and makes light of these classy individuals, both as women and as women of color.”

Imus was speaking with producer Bernard McGurk when the NCAA title game between Rutgers and Tennessee came up.

“That’s some rough girls from Rutgers,” Imus said.
