When was the last time he was shocking?

His looks???

The people who pay the bills for the on air time will have the decision how much it will hurt to keep him. And that ultimately is the advertisers. These people are not dumb. Plenty of little polls and such will be done.

Proctor and Gamble is thinking about pulling out. One big one down possibly. Imus may be gone from certain airwaves.

Pgardn, do you really know how this reads?

Goodness, I'm taking up Caj's habits.

Proctor and Gamble has the big one. Imus, I think some serious shrinkage is probably a kind description at this point.

I found it more than ironic that there was no mention of Martha Burk this year.

If a woman was to qualify for the Masters, she would have the opportunity to make the cut.

radio I think he was conservative and just recently in the past
couple of years became more liberal each year.

Oh my God, we made it a whole 12 pages before the paranoid conservativitis came out. Bababooyee, how could you? You started it and look what you did! (above)

Ah, there's nothing like the righteous anger of the empowered. Please, conservatives convinced they are constantly under attack, post an example of a scandal where, if the offender was in fact, a conservative, his or her conservative leaning became the focus of the media response to the attack. I won't be holding my breath awaiting the response (B, did you ever get back to me on the Israel thing? ).

Imus, I think, can truly be called an independent, since he doesn't hew to either party line. Which leaves him with no one to hide behind. Conservatives feel he betrayed the cause when he came out against the Iraq war and liberals haven't forgiven him for things he said years ago. He's a man without a party. And without a new hairstyle since Reagan was in office.

And the "Daily Show"'s segment on the media orgy over this whole flap was hilarious. Cannon, you would have loved it. Catch it in rerun if you can.

Conservative and proud of it, but not paranoid.

SOMEHOW, CAN'T SEE CANON AS A FAN OF THAT SHOW.I think one of the things that makes it interesting is that IMUS has been so quick to ask that others get fired(for this n' that.) I thought it was pretty unique T.V. to see him lie about whether he thought what he said was funny (at the time he said it.) I think it is interesting to see these women take advantage of a situation that IMUS was dumb enough to create.They see a fat pitch,and they are not gunna get cheated on the swing.Was funny seeing That opportunist Sharpton complain to Imus about him(IMUS) using the term "OLD CRACKER."

[Mortimer]

Oh those silly Negros !!!

[GPK]

IMO....the biggest blunder that Imus made (besides the dumb ass comment that he made) was appearing on Sharpton's radio show. If Imus had any sense at all, he contacts the President of Rutgers, along with Coach Stringer and expresses his desire to meet with them and the girls (and their parents if they so choose) and THEN AND THERE express his apologies if he so desires. He owes Sharpton nothing...zero...zlich...nada. I would have never given Sharpton the time of day....never given him the opportunity to suck every ounce of publicity out of this as possible.


The only people that Imus owes an apology to is those girls on the team and their parents...plain and simple.

[Mortimer]

They all have ONE set of parents!!!?

[Mortimer]

An how did you know their first names?

I don't believe this rot.

In other words, Mr Imus's words have been seen as an offense to all women.

This does not bode well for this man, not at all

Ahhh... I have been looking for the appropriate thread to post a couple of good "dumb blonde" jokes...

Why would blonde be a prerequisite?

I've never understood that.



Did ya hear about the brunette lady?

She thought the blonde lady was smart.

Since when is calling someone a nappy headed ho racist? How is that racist? So I assume the white girls on the team weren't offended? It was a joke, probably a bad one, but please. And Al Sharpton is the person we are all going to listen to now? That's funny, because he's such a good guy right?
This crap is too much and people need to stop worrying about useless crap like this. WHo cares what Don Imus said? I know this is like Playboy for DTS but really, it's ridiculous. Personally, I'm offended that this is even an issue right now. But it won't stop, people are so bored that this will continue to spin out of control. I think we all need to get a life.

sorry brian new best post...

What about the red headed lady who wanted a nickname?

She wanted to be called "righty".
