As Don Imus approaches a deal that could leave him wealthier than before the Rutgers incident, the National Association of Black Journalists is getting pissed.

In a statement, NABJ’s vice president said,

It seems inconceivable that less than a year after Imus was dismissed from CBS Radio and MSNBC for his vicious insults upon the Rutgers women's basketball team, that Citadel Broadcasting and Fox News would consider putting him back on the air.

It’s not surprising that Citadel Broadcasting is looking to make money. What’s hard to swallow is that Don Imus, despite being, well, Don Imus, will help them make money.

Fox News was actually never involved in the deal. Apparently being amazed that black people can behave themselves is fine, but mocking the haircare of a women's basketball team crosses the line.
