Dog the Bounty Hunter back on air, CORE Spokesman says his use of the “N” word is forgiven…

Well, isn’t that nice. It seems like good ol’ Dog the Bounty Hunter is going to get his show back. It’s been less than a year, (7 Months to be exact) since he was taken off the air for using the “N” word, and I guess the powers that be have decided to let him out of the Media “Time Out” Chair. It seems like about 7 or 8 months seems to be the “appropriate” amount of time to punish racially insensitive media personalities. Don Imus served eight months in purgatory for his “Nappy Headed Hoes” remarks while his agents worked out a new radio deal.

But what I really found funny about the press conference announcing Dog’s return to TV, was how his public relations people flew in Niger Innis, the National Spokesman for CORE, to speak on behalf of all African-Americans. Innis told the press that Dog was forgiven by African-Americans. How do they know this? Did they take a poll? To me, this shows the pitiful depths to which this once proud organization has fallen. Are they aching for relevancy so bad that they would go out to Hawaii and become shills for a two-bit dog and pony show? But then, I guess that one should expect anything from an organization that made Idi Amin a lifetime member.
