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."
