I hope Imus gets every dollar of that $40 million and that Al Sharpton chokes on a spicy hot wing.......slowly.

I never thought I’be be rooting for Imus. Go, Imus!

Les Moonves = more debt for CBS

[Anti-Bubba182]

It’s CBS! I say I-Man ripem a new one!

[needlenose_neely]

Imus has a very, very good case.

Bet CBS-Radio settles this one.

"I hope Imus gets every dollar of that $40 million and that Al Sharpton chokes on a spicy hot wing.. slowly"

They are both liberals, I don't wish either of them success in any aspect of their lives.

God bless Imus. I hope we wins.

CBS Radio needs to finally say to one of these groups, "it was a joke, get over it."

[sono]

I second that emotion. Imus is spending this summer running a ranch for kids with cancer. What’re Moonves or Redstone doing with their time?

How is calling someone a cleaning lady racially charged? Sounds like the listener never heard of a white cleaning lady.

Go Imus those girls never said he had to be fired. Since when does Al Sharpton decide who speaks and says what. Like thye American people really listen to rap.

>Sounds like the listener never heard of a white cleaning lady.<

Sounds like the listener never heard of rap either.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

Come to think of it, it has been a while since I have seen a white cleaning lady. A few blacks but seems most of them have been replaced with Hispanics. I suppose there are no complaints from those who are displaced and placed on welfare?

[Anti-Bubba182]

Look at the Make over on Moonves' wife! She is practically bionic!

This ‘IS’ about freedom of speech. Black people can sing, speak, and market lyrics with the word “HOs”, but let a white guy say that, and BAAMMO!

[janereinheimer]

Let’s see now, wouldn’t he be having dinner with Jesse?

[knarf]

"I never thought I’be be rooting for Imus. Go, Imus!"

Really, it doesn't matter who fights the good fight ... just so's long as it's done.

[akfrey]

Sounds like a good contract,they need to pay him.

[Paleo Conservative]

I wonder if they'll be serving popcorn outside the court room?

[OK]

I don’t care for the guy, but I hope he ends up owning CBS.

The theory on this that makes the most sense is that he was fired due to pressure from Hillary. He doesn’t like her at all, so her people started looking for him to say something that they could make a case out of and get him marginalized. Don’t tread on Hillary or else. If he had been one of her sycophants he would still be saying anything he likes and the democrats would just giggle about it.

If the contract really is as described in the article, CBS's lawyers would be smart to tell the company to just hand over the cash. Imus or his attorney was pretty smart putting the required warning clause in the contract.
