Imus: This is your brain after drugs
That this elderly hippie manages to pull a paycheck says a lot about taste in this country.

[Long Island Pete]

Ah, the “It was a bad joke” excuse getting used again.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Tune in tomorrow when Al Sharpton is on and really watch Imus
Grovel!

"...I'm a good person"

It's just that I'm a verbally-incontinent hasbeen with a drug-addled brain.

James E. Harris, president of the New Jersey chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, demanded Sunday that Imus "resign or be terminated immediately."

What an ass. Our side is supposed to shut-up and never try making clever comments (yeah, sometimes they're "offensive"), while they're supposed to get a free ride and demonize "whitey" all they want, with no consequences. Don't think so.

Tell that to “The Greasman”

[meanie monster]

I guess he should now go to rehab...

[apocalypto]

Rev. Jesse Jackson is planning a protest against Imus? After he trashed the Duke lacrosse players and offered a scholarship to the hooker or whatever who accused innocent guys of rape? After his slurs against Jews? Of course what Imus said was very wrong, but no worse than what Rosie has said, and certainly nothing compared to falsely accusing and prosecuting somebody for rape.

"It's not going to be easy, but I'm not looking for it to be easy," Imus said.

Translation: “I'm a Democrat damn it! I ain't resigning nothing... !”

[kabar]

The more you apologize, the more your foes want. Imus is on the slippery slope heading downward.

[Elsie]

...Rev. Al Sharpton, who has called for Imus to be fired over the remarks.

"Maybe yo white butt can get a job in HymieTown!"

I’m enjoying the irony of Imus getting fried by the very same left wing moonbats that he’s come to embrace over the last several years. It will be interesting to see how many, IF any, Democrat politicians have the guts to show up on his program any time soon.

[Elsie]

Meanwhile, the Rev. Jesse Jackson planned a protest in Chicago, and an NAACP official called for the broadcaster's resignation or firing.

Why not NYC????

[ClearCase_guy]

I don't like Imus, and what he said was, IMO, more egregious than a lot of other "faux pas" that have tripped up people. He was just rude.

However, I still maintain that apologies for this stuff are always wrong. People need to stop being senstive, and Al Sharpton needs to get a life.

If I mis-speak with my friends, I will apologize. But a public person, speaking on-the-fly, being paid to entertain, making an attempt at something humorous -- if they screw it up, they should just move on. Imus is allowing himself to be extorted by a race hustler.

[Bosco]

Imus just needs to buy some carbon offset credits and that should take care of it.

[MajorTom56]

Yes, Ol' Nino Greasminelli has been paying for his remarks for a long time now. He went to relative obscurity after some off color remarks and has been paying for it since. He deserves a national audience but no one will take that risk. AMF Major

I love it when people declare themselves to be ‘good’. ( sarcasm)

[Thrownatbirth]

"That's some nappy-headed hos"

That would almost be a compliment from a rapper.

[TexasCajun]

Now if it had only been Chris Rock that called 'em "Nappy-head Ho's" everyone would be laughing their butts off.
