Radio show host Don Imus, who once called retired Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell "the guy from `F Troop,'" has been suspended for making racist remarks about African-American women.
Imus was suspended by CBS Radio and MSNBC for two weeks, following controversy over his remarks about the Rutgers University female basketball team. He had referred to the players as "nappy-headed hos."
Imus apologized for his "racist" remarks and said he was a "good person." He said he uses his show to criticize a lot of different people, including Native Americans like Campbell.
