Don Imus made some idiotic, hateful, and racist comments when he called the fine young women of the Rutgers Womens’ Basketball team, “nappy-headed hos.” After all these years of trash-talk by Imus, it’s about time someone called him on his not-funny-at-all and over-the-line personal attacks on people.

TVNewser reports that MSNBC is dropping Imus’s show. Maybe this will put an end to adult men making misogynist statements. (yeah, right.)

I listened to Imus’s radio show back in the days of Clinton’s calamitous years in the White House and Imus’s comedy routines were funny. But when we moved away from the East Coast his show couldn’t be found on any radio station so that was that. Never listened again and I sure didn’t tune him in on MSNBC.

One late night, (around eleven o’clock) about a year or so ago, the phone rang and when I answered, the voice of a male African American was on the other end. He said, “Is Donna the Ho there?”

I laughed and hung up the phone, thinking that it was a pretty funny prank phone call. It was a play on our last name (Donoho) of course and I wasn’t insulted. I guess I should have been but I wasn’t.

UPDATE: This is sad news. Don Ho has died.
