Kerry: Imus Shouldn't Have Been Kicked Off The Air

BOSTON Senator John Kerry gets behind radio and T-V personality Don Imus, saying he should NOT have been fired for making racially insensitive remarks.

Kerry also says he'd be willing to go on Imus' show again as long as it wasn't (quote) "the same-old, same-old."

In an interview with New York television station New-York-1, the Democrat says the punishment has to fit the crime, and that Imus should have instead faced a long suspension.

Imus was fired last week for calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on his radio and T-V program.

Kerry pointed to the decision by members of the team to accept an apology from the shock jock.

The 2004 Democratic nominee for president was a frequent guest on Imus' show.

Clever for the traitor. Defend Imus while media attention is focused on Virgina Tech.

Good point. He was heraled by Imus. Huge butt kisser.

...as long as it wasn't (quote) "the same-old, same-old."

So, the "same old" was OK prior to the "ho" remark?

Funny how Kerry and his “wife” appeared on Imus several days after the NHH’s comment. Guess he did not get the memo.

“We need real Americans to speak out on the real issues facing nappy headed ho’s. That is why I’m proposing that Whoopie Golberg be placed on my wife’s ketchup packets.”

Hey Kerry, tell it to Jackson and Sharpton.

Nevermind.

A week late and a dollar short.

Check that, F’in was on 3/26... my bad.

Thanks much, it’s an old one - you just missed seeing it before.

[noexcuses]

Might have been helpful to mention that BEFORE the fact. Kerry is a putz.

Bumkisser!

While the BUM is off the air!

Hey Lurch, you’re a little too late chiming on the subject.

the Democrat says the punishment has to fit the crime, and that Imus should have instead faced a long suspension.

Pretty hard coming from a man who wanted to fight a more "sensitive" war on terror.

They miss his microphone. Whose show will they go on now?
