Don Imus isn't the smartest guy in the world. I respect his career but have never liked him or his show. I'm not worried about him at all. He'll have another million dollar syndication deal before the week is out. I'm disgusted that a comedy show host has been fired for a joke he made. It was offensive? 95% of everything he says is offensive to someone.

Precedents like this are damaging to the first amendment. What he said was stupid, but it wasn't intended to harm anyone. He's been an obnoxious jerk for years with network approval.
