He sure did, which demonstrates that old saying about a broken clock being right twice a day. Gwen baby writes with all the insight and skill of a cleaning lady.
(with apologies to the REAL cleaning ladies who could clean Gwen’s clock)
LOL...that IS funny.
How come he’s on this morning? He suspended, but not until when?
They all come out to kick the dog while it is down. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. After his Rumsfeld comment, I can care less. This is isn’t a PC hit. This is a neutering.
The whole foundation of this country revolves around OFFENDING others without retribution!!! What Imus says maybe rude, but I'm sticking to the tagline!
I had my hands plenty full covering Bill Clinton.
Umm, I won’t even go there.
Jesse Jackson, referes to New York City as Himay town
Rappers use the "n" word and not only refer to black women as bitches an dwhores ( ho's) they make small MOVIES and large fortunes about it that resemble porn on B.E.T.
Imus was wrong. He's crude and he's crass. But its over.
If Imus has one once of intelligence left he will stop apologizing and tell them all he's done.Enough.
Imus fell out of the "middle-aged" category about 15 years ago. He's an old man that can retire and should. The only thing he has going for him is that middle-aged people find him entertaining just like Grandpa on Heehaw. If he has to stay in the media spot light, he should take a position as someone's sidekick.
Imus is not the first shock-jock to get a suspension for making a racial slur on the radio, and two weeks is a slap on the wrists. Back in the 1990's, Grease Man in Washington, DC was suspended for at least 6 weeks for making a racial slur of his own in regards to MLK day. A few years latter he was fired for making another racial slur. The big difference between Imus and Grease Man was Grease Man was really funny without making racial slurs.
IMO Don’s remark was pretty funny; in fact it was hilarious! What ever happened to people’s sense of humor? He was not being vicious just funny in his irreverant way. To me tough looking, tatooed, muscular girls stand out in contrast to my vision of the the girl next door. I do not think that the young and beautiful women he was referring to really are unattractive when they are not playing basketball.
This is censorship of the highest order. Will Imus be sent to a retraining camp? Or will that be next year for all of us?
Imus was funny back in his Renaldo Santana Banana and Billy Saul Hargus days. It’s kinda been down hill since then.
And what Imus is doing this morning is embarrasing--going on and on about how he really is a good guy. He needs to hang it up.
Has anyone here ever listened to a black station? They frequently spew violently anti-white hate speech and are never called on it. It’s a sickening double standard.
Imus was making a joke, from a Spike Lee movie no less.
Imagine if a “respected” white man said “And the one idea is, how we are going to exterminate black people because that in my estimation is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate black people off the face of the planet to solve this problem.”. Do you think the media would just shrug it off like they did when Kamau Kambon was speaking at Howard University Law School and suggest the same thing but said “white people” instead of black?
” Did Imus really call her the cleaning lady covering the White House? ‘
wasn’t the same ones condeming Imus now, the same ones who were calling Powell “Uncle Tom” in the White House?
But nooooooooooooooo, he squirmed like a weasel on a stick. And I must admit, I consider him such a thoroughly obnoxious POS, that I felt the most wonderful shiver of schadenfreude...
Seems Ms. Ifill can't escape her own racism.
As we suspect, the whole Imus incident is overblown. Anytime Sharpton and Jackson inject themselves into one of these non-controversies, we know a shakedown is underway.
Where were Sharpton and Jackson when black rappers were “popularizing” their disgraceful attitudes to “hos” and the banned “N-word”??
(Crickets chirping)
These words probably wouldn’t be in anyone’s vocabulary today without the rappers - particularly the gangsta rappers who also “popularized” the idea of killing cops.
Imus let his mouth run away with himself and made a mistake. He has played the Michael Richards game of apologizing profusely to the race baiters and his network is going to “punish” him with a two-week suspension. It’s time to focus attention BACK on Pelosi and her middle-east pandering tour and move on with our lives.
Has anyone heard Don Imus say “Rosebud” yet. The liberal self-absorbed king maker is about done it seems.
