Shock jock Don Imus will return to the airwaves Dec. 3 after eight months of a well-paid hiatus brought about by a racist and sexist remark that once seemed certain to permanently silence his broadcasting career.

Citadel Broadcasting Corp. made the announcement Thursday, confirming long-rumored reports that Imus was coming back to morning drive time on New York-based WABC-AM.

I figured he'd be back. I thought it was strange to have fired him in the first place. I know that he said some racist things, but he's said a lot of things that were supposed to be offensive, just like Howard Sterns has made his career off saying offensive things.

I may not listen to him, but I'm glad he'll be back, just for the sake of consistency of principal.

I also was positive that he would make a comeback, eventually. All that was needed was a little time for his racist rant to fade. A general racist rant is unacceptable, but to direct it at 5 individuals is not a forgivable sin in my book.
