As if we needed another reason to hate Don Imus

The Boston Herald brings us another Don Imus "I stick my foot in my effing mouth. Again" story. He starts to get the tip of his gnarly toes in by asking why WTKK afternoon drive guy Jay Severin why he doesn't like Huckabee:

"Why don’t you like Huckabee, because you’re gay or what?” Imus inquired.

Seriously, why is this guy still allowed to be on-air?

Really ... really?

Remember "And Tango Makes Three"? The children's book about two male penguins taking care of an orphaned penguin baby at the Central Park Zoo? The uproar it caused? Well, Concerned Parents can take aim at a new one: There's controversy over school curriculum that teaches children about ALL families, including gay one:

"The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by parents who sued after their son brought home a book from kindergarten that depicted different kinds of families, including a gay family."

What I love most about stories like these is that certain parents are so overwhelmingly concerned that they decide to take it up in the courts and yet, we still have mothers out there posing as MySpace pals who send mean messages. I'm willing to bet it's the same type of parents who do both: More concerned with a story about princes who fall in love than with the world around them -- politically and socially. No, we better not have little Jimmy read trash like this when he can get the real truth from the Rush Limbaughs and Ann Coulters of the world. Ugh.
