Don Imus is an American radio talk-show host, known for his "shock jock" speaking manner. Many prominent Republican and Democrat politicians have appeared on his show.
An organization called Media Matters for America[1] publicized some offensive comments[2] from his show about the appearance of the Rutgers and Tennessee female basketball team players. Specifically, Imus referred to the women as "nappy-headed ho's." Liberal black activists Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson joined in, and said that the comments were offensive. On April 12th 2007, CBS canceled Don Imus's show.
