MSNBC isn’t buying Don Imus’ supreme excuse that he should be allowed to use the phrase “nappy headed hoes” “because rappers say it.” The network just announced it will no longer simulcast Don Imus’ radio show.

MSNBC says:

“Effective immediately, MSNBC will no longer simulcast the “Imus in the Morning” radio program. This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees. What matters to us most is that the men and women of NBC Universal have confidence in the values we have set for this company. This is the only decision that makes that possible. Once again, we apologize to the women of the Rutgers basketball team and to our viewers. We deeply regret the pain this incident has caused.”

An FCC spokesperson has confirmed that they have received complaints about Imus’ remarks, but downplays media reports that they have launched an investigation.

Staples, GM, and Proctor and Gamble are amongst the radio sponsors jumped ship on Imus’ racist ass before he got the boot.
