Imus

"I must admit, if you turned to 'Def Comedy Jam,' you would probably hear the same words, but it's not loaded with the same history as when someone like Don Imus, who has said things like this before, says it."

- Marc Lamont Hill, professor of urban education and American studies at Temple University (quoted by Lori Price in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

Of course. It is not what you say, it is who you are.

More of the liberal double standard.

One of the most interesting aspects of this case is that Imus mistakenly thought he was going to get a free pass because of his "good works."

If he had been a hardcore liberal, he would have gotten complete immunity. But if Imus was a hardcore liberal and said stupid offensive things, then he would not be Imus. He would be Al Franken.
