Council Weighs In on Imus

On top of the New York City Council's to-do list today: denouncing Don Imus.

Tish James of Brooklyn said she would introduce a resolution for him to be fired immediately.

Leroy Comrie of Queens said that Imus's radio station should set up a scholarship fund for female athletes, since he disparaged them.

And Larry Seabrook of the Bronx said he applauded the companies who "became friends of the struggle" when they pulled their advertising from Imus' show.
