Imus calls a respected journalist "the cleaning lady"

Will work for Scooby snacks
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. :)
