One of the great non-stories of the week was the reaction, or non-reaction, to Don Imus reverting to form in his racist comments about Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Pacman Jones, the troubled football player with a propensity for getting into trouble off the field - he has 6 arrests to support the claim. Well, except for the insufferable Rev. Al Sharpton, who is addicted to stomping out racial injustice both real and imagined, there has been no great hue and cry for this motherfucker to be taken off the air or banished to the radio equivalent of Siberia or otherwise castigated for taking shots at black folks. Don Imus simply does not matter. Even all the bullshit about him and the Rutgers University basketball team was a waste of time because nobody should have given a shit about Imus, much less what he had to say. So to paraphrase the late George Carlin, fuck Don Imus and the horse he rode in on.
