Nah. They're the wrong color.

Gee Tracy, look the things you make me say. :-)

>>>That's true. But it has become more about money than moral outrage at what he originally said. Several major sponsors of his show (GM, P & G, big advertisers like that) have announced they are dropping out, which I am sure is what led msnbc.com to drop Imus. I will be surprised if the radio station does not follow suit. The color that really got him in trouble was not black or white, but green.

>>Well for whatever reason, he is being "slaughter" for words that are being used everday by other entertainers. All of a sudden the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world are concerned about langauage that are being used over the airways .... give me a break!
