And CBS Radio and MSNBC have announced they’re temporarily suspending the syndicated radio program hosted by Don Imus. Speaking on “Imus in the Morning” last Wednesday, Imus and his producer Bernard McGuirk referred to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed hos” and “hardcore hos.” The suspension will take effect next Monday and last for two weeks. In response, the Reverend Al Sharpton said civil rights groups would not drop their demands for Imus’ dismissal.

Rev. Al Sharpton: “We continue to be organizing and mobilizing in these two weeks and to meet with the heads of both stations to say why he can’t come back. We also intend to deal with advertisers.”

Sharpton’s comments came after Imus appeared on Sharpton’s radio program to defend himself.
