to everyone who is talking about how it's dumb imus got fired because south park and borat are racists...
it's totally differnt when a comedy show makes racist jokes. it's a comedy show, they have carte blanche to do whatever they please. don imus, however, is not a comedian. therefore, whatever he says is to be taken as literal, not satirical. he has been in the business long enough to know that what he said was stupid. do i think that people like al sharpton and jesse jackson go to far? yes. do i think that don imus should have been fired because of what he said? yes.
