Let him serve his two week suspension, and let that be it. He has apologized. No sponsor is going to "flee".
Don Imus is not a racist monster- he's appreciated and respected by a wide spectrum of public and/or political figures of all races, who are coming to his defense- a fact of which is undeniable. What he said was offensive, but anyone who is so short-triggered and shortsighted to demand his firing is either an opportunistic sensationalist or, at the very least, incredibly ignorant.
