War of Words at the Dumb Ass Corral

Two of the most annoying people I know of are in the news again today.

Skeletor, er ... uh, I mean Don Imus, has stuck his racist foot in his mouth again. During his show today, reporter Warner Wolf was talking about the arrests of another loser, the Dallas Cowboys fallen star Pac-Man Jones, when Imus thought it was pertinent to ask what color Pac-Man Jones is.

As you can see in this blog -- I am color blind. A scumbag is a scumbag is a scumbag in my book, no matter what color they are. Does it matter what color Pac-Man Jones is if he has already been arrested for beating up a female stripper? Of course it doesn't. He is a despicable human being, and shouldn't be allowed to tarnish the NFL any longer, no matter what color he is.

And, the same could be said for Don Imus. From his questions about Jones, and his earlier remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team, the guy should be out of a job. But, unfortunately, Citadel Broadcasting saw fit to hire him, because he apparently has a following and can make them some coin.

Enter, Al Sharpton. Here's a guy who has made a living being judge, jury and executioner for everything he sees fit to attack. Today, he was quoted as saying about the Imus remarks, "We will determine in the next day or so whether or not his remark warrants direct action on our part."

Give me a break. What is he going to do? I realize he takes credit for getting Imus kicked off CBS Radio, but that was more of a bow to overall public opinion than the threats made by Sharpton.

Imus will be judged by the court of public opinion, again, and as his ratings continue to slide due to his ridiculously stupid, racist comments, he will be off the air soon enough. And, for those of us who can't stand Imus, we can always tune to another station -- which I'm sure everyone can figure out for themselves without Reverend Sharpton getting involved.

As a Reverend, Al Sharpton should be concentrating on more important issues, and not just wait to "ambulance chase" the stories that will get him the most ink.
