Imus in Hot Water Again

Posted Apr 7, 07 3:00 PM CDT in Arts & Living Gossip Sports 

(Newser) – Earlier this week during his syndicated show simulcast on MSNBC and CBS radio station WFAN Don Imus called the Rutgers Women's basketball team "nappy headed hoes," initiating a firestorm of criticism.  The politically incorrect shock jock now admits that his remarks were "inappropriate, thoughtless and stupid."

This is not the first time Imus has gotten in trouble for making racial slurs or disparaging  various groups, including  Palestiniaqns and  gays.
