Did Don Imus Really Just Say That?

Honestly, is this person really "out there" enough to stick his foot in his mouth again?

You guys remember Don Imus, right?

The guy that nearly lost his job because he thought it was a good idea to compare the Rutgers women’s basketball team to a bunch of "nappy-headed hoes".

Well folks, he's done it again.

According to an AP News Report out of New York, during an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of Dallas Cowboy’s 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.”

Now we know.

What exactly do we know, Mr. Imus?

That you are indeed a racist?

Maybe we should give Mr. Imus the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Maybe he just wanted to make sure we weren’t talking about the cute loveable yellow Pacman that we all grew up loving.

One would think, maybe even hope, that after the fireworks that followed his comments towards the Rutgers ladies that Imus may have finally learned where his boundaries lie.

Apparently he hasn't.

Mr. Imus, you've had a nice long career but it may be time to hang it up. You simply can't come on air and broadcast to the world your racist and degrading thoughts towards other people.

I think even Howard Stern is embarrassed for you right now!
