CNN:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Unimpressed by his on-air apology or corporate promises of a tighter leash, critics of syndicated radio host Don Imus are calling for his dismissal over his comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

"I accept his apology, just as I want his bosses to accept his resignation," said the Rev. Al Sharpton.

He promised to picket Imus' New York radio home, WFAN-AM, if the veteran of nearly 40 years of anything-goes broadcasting isn't gone within a week.

Sharpton was not alone in his anger over Imus' description of the Rutgers women, most of whom are black, as "nappy-headed hos" during a Wednesday morning segment of his show.

5. Interesting, attacking the messenger. Sharpton has influence, smarts and wit.

The thinly veiled racist remarks are unsettling. MKJ

6. Imus is just one of the many assholes on MSNBC

The network is crawling with them...and then the weekend..well, it is 24 hrs of "inside the prison" of one form or another. KO is the only reason to ever watch MSNBC

7. If anyone can turn Imus into a sympathetic fugure, it's Sharpton

Shut up Al.

He's definitely on the right side of this issue. MKJ
