Check out what the good Dr. Herself had to say about Don Imus after his “nappy-headed hoes” comment. It’s served with a heapin’ helpin’ of tu quoque, but it’s still quite amusing:

As for Imus, it would seem his arrogance caught up with him. His remark was insulting, stupid, mean and ugly. It was so seemingly “off-the-cuff,” that it felt too casually familiar a thing for him to say.
Unlike yelling “n—-” 11 times, which was clearly so alien to her that it took every ounce of effort to force it out of herself.
