Letter: There’s no excuse for what Imus said

This is in response to Larry Fuss' April 11 letter, which was headlined, "How is Imus worse than Chris Rock, rap?":

This is not about being black or white. This is about Don Imus calling these 10 young, intelligent, hardworking young women whores. Imus knows none of these girls and does not have the right to call them bad names.

How would Mr. Fuss like it if, on national television, Imus attacked his wife or daughter by calling them whores? I think he would be pretty mad .
