So Don Imus finally goes over the top – and lands without a net. Initially he was simply suspended, but as the sponsors ran for the hills and the uproar continued, Imus was abruptly fired.

Imus, who, at age 66, really should know better, apparently thought that his rights of free speech combined with his 40 years on radio, his rep as a “Shock Jock”, and getting paid gazillions to be one, gave him a free pass to say whatever, whenever, wherever.

Not so Don.
