Don Imus once again gets "Foot-to-Mouth Disease"

Don Imus is again drawing fire for including race into his radio show.
During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones, Imus asked, "What color is he?"

Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones is "African-American," Imus responded: "There you go. Now we know."

Asked in an e-mail message what point he was trying to get across, Imus wrote: "I meant he was being picked on because he's black.'' He added that Dick Gregory, a veteran comedian and activist who is black, would be a guest on his show on Tuesday, to discuss the death of George Carlin. "We'll see what he thinks,'' Imus wrote. "I mean...come on!''

Its to the point now where Imus is either not too bright, or just doesn't care what he says anymore. Even if one is in the minority in thinking that the Rutgers issue was really overblown when it happened, one cannot dismiss this latest comment. He really should lose his job for - if nothing else, the sheer stupidity of it.
