In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, Don Imus is coming back to radio. And he'll be on one the nation's most listened to radio stations as well - WABC in NYC. I'm not sure this is the end of civilization as we know it, but you can definitely see it from here.
It's not really worth getting into a debate about whether or not Imus' infamous "nappy headed hoes" comment about the Rutgers women's basketball team was racist, or a fireable offense, or free speech. It was all of those things.
The real story is about money. Because that's why Imus will be going on the air again and that's why Kia Vaughn filed that ridiculous lawsuit against Imus for defamation of character.
Like criminal athletes who get 18 chances because they have incredible talent, Don Imus will be back on the air again because he has a talent - which is he can consistently be a huge controversial asshole. And being a consistently huge controversial asshole on the radio makes people money. Just like how talented criminal athletes can still produce wins, and put butts in the seats.
And don't expect Imus to change in the least. He's already called Hillary Clinton "satan" for what he says was her taking advantage of the Rutgers situation. Sounds like a guy who clearly learned his lesson that he's got to hold his tongue.
So watch out nappy headed hoes of the world. Imus hasn't learned anything and he'll be back making borderline racist comments starting in early December.
It's too bad that sometimes the loudest and most boorish speakers are the only ones actually heard.
