Don Imus

Don Imus, the talk radio host, has gone public with his diagnosed with stage 2 prostate cancer. Imus has not discussed his treatment choices. Don Imus and his radio sidekicks have gotten away with their corrosive banter before, but this time was different. Imagine yourself a parent of a teenager or young woman somewhere in her early twenties, a young athlete still in her formative years whose only crime is that she?s been spotted shooting hoops with her friends. Don Imus and his wife run a cattle ranch for children with cancer. They sell a line of foods where all the profits go to this ranch.

Don Imus is the grumpy and controversial host of the nationally-syndicated Imus in the Morning radio show. Imus started his career as a radio deejay in California in 1968 and moved to New York in 1971. Don Imus is back on the air. And although Imus apologizes for racist comments, Vivian Stringer--coach of the Rutgers women's basketball team that was targeted by Imus' sexist and racist comments--says she's still angry (Read her statement ). Don Imus simply said what anyone living in the real world often thinks. The degree of intolerance directed towards Don Imus underscores the hypocrisy of political correctness.
