    What about "jigaboos?"

    It amazes me that the media -- even including Salon -- continues to ignore the comment Imus's co-host made, on the air, about the women's NCAA final, describing it as "the jigaboos vs. the wannabes."

    As bad as "nappy-headed hos" is, "jigaboos" is even more shocking. Why is that racial slur being buried in the coverage of this scandal?
