Bigger deal. More money. TV simulcast … I’ve got a summer of kids to cowboy with and then we’ll see.”

Imus went on to say “I’m a good and decent person who made a mistake in the context of comedy.  My strength comes from not being full of shit and a coward.”

You can help support the cause online at the official Imus Ranch website by either a cash donation or by purchasing products (of which, 100% goes to the Ranch).

Will Sharpton apologize?  Would he be demanding an apology if the shoe was on the other foot?  He’s a phony and a fraud, and we’re all suckers for continuing to help him push his agenda and build his empire over creating racial divisions.
