I hate analogies. I don't understand them. I did very poorly on the that section of the SAT. Having said that, Gary Condit is to 9/11 as Don Imus is to the Virginia Tech shootings.
Let's go back to Don Imus' comment. I've heard it described as 80% racist and 20% sexist. This view is based on the sequence of the words "nappy-headed hoes." But I'm a big fan of nouns. Nouns are where it's at. Adjectives base their whole existence on nouns. In this case, "hoes" is the noun, so Don Imus is primarily a misogynist. The adjective simply indicates what kind of misogynist he is. He's a racist misogynist.
