I know I'm plunging into dangerous waters, but I've got to go against the raging Don Imus tide. I think he could have been given much more time off for bad behavior but should not have received from MSNBC and CBS Radio what amounts to corporate capital punishment.

Well, 11 years later, "it" was done to Don Imus, and the sense is of the restoration of clean air. Not universally -- nothing like that. The world of hip-hop, one learns, is untouchable. The language there is heavily coarse, profane and perverted.

Ann Coulter does it again! This is the best take on the whole Imus flap that I've read. Example: "The reason people don't like what Imus said was because the women on the Rutgers basketball team aren't engaged in public discourse. They're not public figures, they don't have a forum, they aren't trying to influence public policy." Enjoy!

What followed was a familiar dance for Mr. Imus and the media companies that profit from his ability to shock his way to big audiences: outrage, indignation and, eventually, the expression of deep regret.
