My one Imus post

Since every person on the planet with a blog appears to have weighed in on Imus, I thought I would throw my two cents in as well. Actually not mine but rather that of the estimable Snoop Dogg. He notes, in an interview with somebody who wasn't me, that guys like him and Diddy and Mo B. Dick calling girls "hos" (pronounced: hose) is a very different animal than some wrinkled old white racist motherfucker (my description, not Snoop's) doing so:

"It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh--, that's trying to get a n---a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC [the cable network home to Imus] going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha----as say we in the same league as him."

Well, thank God we got that cleared up.

Me? I'm just a good man who did a stupid thing.
