"The Cleaning Lady" Responds To Imus

From The New York Times:

For all their grit, hard work and courage, the Rutgers girls got branded “nappy-headed ho’s” — a shockingly concise sexual and racial insult, tossed out in a volley of male camaraderie by a group of amused, middle-aged white men. The “joke” — as delivered and later recanted — by the radio and television personality Don Imus failed one big test: it was not funny.

The serial apologies of Mr. Imus, who was suspended yesterday by both NBC News and CBS Radio for his remarks, have failed another test. The sincerity seems forced and suspect because he’s done some version of this several times before.

I know, because he apparently did it to me.

Don Imus now claims that he never said of Gwen Ifill, “Isn’t The Times wonderful? It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House.”

Funny, the late Lars-Eric Nelson reported this Imess quote in 1998 in the New York Daily News.

And what did Gewn Ifill do to deserve such hateful spittle? She didn't return The I Mess' phone call.

Keep digging that hole, Imus. Your mouth is your own worst enemy.

By the way, forget the shovel. Use this...
