I used to listen to Imus quite a bit. I liked Bernie McGuirk...funny guy.
In the early 70’s Imus did a skit that involved calling a McDonald’s and claiming to be a general ordering lunch for his troops who were moving from one post to another. The “General” orders like 4,000 cheeseburgers, so many sodas, fries etc. The manger repeats back the order. Tells Imus he will get other McDonald’s to help him with the order. Ah when humor was humor. How I miss the early Imus and American humor. Warn Satan that Hillary’s coming and she wants her soul back.
Bernie did hilarious send-ups of John Cardinal O’Connor and especially Maya Angelou - the grossly overrated hack poet.
One of his faux-Angelou rhymes mentioned ‘free cheeses.’
Imus & the crew were interviewed on 60 Minutes once. The reporter was agitated over Bernie’s mockery of Michael Jackson - who then was still getting media cover.
Bernie responded: ‘He’s a pedophile!! What you do think he is - Mother Teresa?’
