BACKTRACKING "On his radio show this morning, [Don Imus] said he was just trying to 'make a sarcastic point' when he asked yesterday, about arrest-happy NFL player Pacman Jones, 'What color is he?' As Imus tried to explain, 'What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times.'"

If that's what he was trying to say, he simply should have said it. He should know by now that he is on thin ice, and regardless of what he "meant", people are paying a lot more attention to what he says and how he says it.

Personally, I want to know why he's called Pacman. Does he have a giant head or something? Does he wear a lot of yellow?

Imus knows the hot buttons and pushes them at will. And everyone reacted and played into his ironic joke.

Well i hate to say it, but maybe there WAS a reason to arrest him six times. I'm sure they didn't arrest him for NO reason… That's the lamest excuse in the book.

It's time for The Cryptkeeper to hang up his cowboy hat and get out to pasture where he can languish in his own manure which has stunk up the airways for too many years now.

Oh I know that this guy was arrested for actual legitimate reasons, the fact that he's black is really immaterial to me. Don is just trying to stir shit up. He didn't call anyone a name, he is *trying* to look like the good guy. By people calling him out on his remark, he gets to point the finger now. Whatever, he's creepy. He looks like the Crypt Keeper. Someone pull the plug.
