This guy gets no more slack from me. The sexist and racist comment about the rutgers women, wasn't an isolated incident. It's a pattern.

Evidently, Imus once called Gwen Ifil, a "cleaning lady", when she worked for the NY Times. If you know Gwen Ifil, you know she is at the top of her profession. I think she's even moderated presidential debates. A totally respected journalist - who happens to have dark skin. Hmmmm. What an asswipe Imus is:


"Isn't The Times wonderful," Mr. Nelson quoted Mr. Imus as saying on the radio. "It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House."

McCain is becoming a fullblown idiot.

I think its safe to conclude that stupidity is contagious. He's been in Bush's lap too long.

I thought all cleaning ladies were Mexicans !
 
OMG, Cypress is an idiot. Now "cleaning lady" denotes racism and /or sexism? Give us a break. And when Biden says Obama is the first african american who is clean, that's not racist? LOL
 
Hey Crypiss,

Are you suggesting that being a cleaning lady is such a lowly profession that it automatically constitutes an insult? Wow. You really are an elitist asshole. :)
