"Don Imus is in trouble again for violating political correctness. His
sports announcer was discussing the lengthy arrest record of Pacman Jones,
and Imus asked €œWhat color is he?€� When told that Jones is black, he
replied €œThere you go. Now we know.€� Imus now claims that he was
trying to say that Jones is being picked on because hes black.

Just months after returning to the airwaves with a pledge to mend the
wounds caused by his racist and sexist comment about a womens
basketball team, Don Imus is again drawing fire for injecting race into
his radio show.

During an on-air conversation Monday about the arrests of suspended
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones, Imus asked, €œWhat color is he?€�

Told by sports announcer Warner Wolf that Jones, who used to be
nicknamed Pacman, is €œAfrican-American,€� Imus responded: €œThere you
go. Now we know.€�

Later Monday, Imus responded to criticism of his comments, saying he
had been misunderstood.

€œI meant that he was being picked on because hes black,€� Imus
said in a statement released by his spokesman.

Yeah, sure ya did, Imus. Sure ya did.

You know, Don, medical technology has come a long way in the past few
years. Why dont you inquire about the possibility of a spine
implant?"
