Imus said it now Reverend Jackson and Sharpton get over it......

....and move on already. You have had your say so move on. March on to the record companies that record rap "artist" whose "music" depict violence toward African-American women and the Hollywood studios that depict African-Americans as violent criminals whose only contributions to society is to deal drugs and keep barred cinder block rooms occupied. To those who have appointed themselves speech police, the only crime that Imus committed was that of poor judgment. The accent of Imus' show from a small studio in Queens to the studios of MSNBC has suggested a level seriousness of his show similar to that of Hardball or Meet the Press. IT IS NOT! The suspension of Imus is correct two weeks is more then enough. Let us not forget that the real issue at hand is the major networks inability to hire an African-American as an anchor or a host of a major news show that was really eating at Reverend Jackson as he made his case against Imus on the Today show. So thank you Don for giving the Reverend a FREE opportunity to point out this oversight by the networks. As far as forgiveness Don Imus only has to apologize to those he directly and unjustly offended... the WOMEN of the Rutger's Basketball and no one else! And it is up to them to decide if they will forgive him no one else. In a society that allows murders a second chances Don Imus, who has done more to raise attention to many injustices as well as money for worthy causes, can certainly be given a poor judgment reprieve. Remember we all live in glass houses.
