Don Imus on Fox: 'You've Got Nuts In This Building' October 4, 2009 Radio provocateur Don Imus, whose daily talk show begins simulcasting on Fox Business Network on Monday, said the cable channel “is a much nicer place” than the other networks that have run his program. That said, “you’ve got nuts in this building, and I’m not one of them,” Imus told Neil Cavuto on Friday. “I love Glenn [Beck], but I’ll tell you this, it doesn’t end well.” The debut of “Imus in the Morning” on Fox Business Network comes 2 1/2 years after the shock jock was...

Radio's Don Imus on Friday attacked a litany of present and former CBS personalities including Katie Couric, David Letterman, and Dan Rather. In an interview with Fox News's Neil Cavuto, Imus called CBS "Evening News" anchor Couric "a little rodent," the "Late Show's" Letterman an "angry, mean-spirited jerk," and former "Evening News" anchor Rather "crazy." The outspoken shock jock also said the thought of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin becoming the Republican nominee for president is "horrifying" because "she's a dope." Imus also had some very interesting things to say about his own controversy with CBS surrounding the Rutgers women's...

Don Imus who now has a morning tv show brings his insight to both talkradio and tv. Don Imus is not known for holding back. He generally calls it like he sees it when it comes to people of power and position in particular. Cavuto gets him going … but it’s all Don Imus.

Here is video of Neil Cavuto interviewing Don Imus on the eve of his beginning a new show with the Fox Business Channel. Imus opens his new show on Monday, October 5. Imus commented on Glenn Beck. He says he loves Glenn Beck, but joked "it doesn't end well." On David Letterman, Imus said Letterman is a "mean-spirited jerk," "a punk" who should not have treated what he did in such a "frivolous" manner. Imus said he does not think President Obama "knows what he is doing," but he does not dislike him. Imus said Obama reminds him of Jimmy...

On WABC radio this morning, Mark Levin and Don Imus talked about White House efforts to distract, with race-baiting, the nation from talking about the real issues. When Imus brought up Glenn Beck, Mark reiterated his objections to people comparing Beck with Rush Limbaugh. (Maybe people ought to really listen to what Mark said about Beck before commenting.) It was a great talk-radio, informative and very funny. (Audio after the jump.)

Radio's Don Imus appeared on a special Labor Day edition of "Hannity" Monday evening, and really let President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have it. In a no holds barred discussion on Fox News, Imus said he thought Obama "was a hypocrite and a phony," and that Biden, in the 100 times he's interviewed him, has said "far worse things" than he's ever said on radio. In Imus's view, Biden's "a moron" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t Story Balloon): DON IMUS, RADIO HOST: Even my own personal experience with [Barack Obama], and I thought...

Rumors have been swirling about Fox courting cancer-stricken, old racist coot Don Imus to be part of their morning lineup, and now it seems they're close to reaching a deal. The question is: What the hell took them so long? Brian Stelter reports in today's New York Times that Fox Business is hoping to simulcast Imus' utterly unlistenable radio show in the same way MSNBC did before they fired him after the "nappy-headed hoes" incident involving the Rutgers women's basketball team a couple of years ago. Stelter says that the deal is in "advanced negotiations" and that Fox hopes Imus'...

The notions that as young African-American women — who I hope will be athletes — that that somehow makes them less beautiful or less important. It was a degrading comment. It’s one that I’m not interested...

""I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Radio shock jock Don Imus insisted he was joking when he threatened to shoot WTKK host Jay Severin during yesterday’s St. Patrick’s Day broadcast in Boston - but Severin’s agent doesn’t buy it and called the I-Man’s explanation “pathetic.” The early morning showdown at the Wilbur Theatre - where the 68-year-old Imus told Severin to get off the stage or he’d shoot him - sparked a war of words yesterday between the two camps. “I heard that Imus’ spokesman tried to characterize this as an ‘obvious joke’ on Imus’ part. That’s pathetic,” said Severin’s agent and attorney, George Tobia. “Leaving...

Radio shock jock Don Imus threatened to shoot WTKK host Jay Severin during this morning’s St. Patrick’s Day broadcast in Boston. The confrontation - which both Imus and Severin confirm - occurred shortly after 6 a.m. when Severin went up on the Wilbur Theatre stage during a commercial break to say hello to friends who are members of the “Imus in the Morning” cast. The exchange came a day after Imus’ dramatic revelation that he has prostate cancer.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Don Imus announced on his radio show this morning that he has stage II prostate cancer. The 68-year-old Imus made the surprise announcement on his radio show at around 7:30 a.m.

Controversial radio show host Don Imus announced Monday morning that he has Stage II prostate cancer. Imus, 68, made the announcement on his show Monday on WABC 770. "I have great confidence in my doctors," Imus, 68, said on air shortly before 9 a.m. "I'll be fine. If I'm not fine, then I won't be fine. And it's not a big deal." He then told listeners: "The prognosis couldn't be better."

When Jonas Salk invented polio vaccine, he was a hero — and I’m a terrorist?” he jokes, referring to a placard denouncing him at a recent demonstration by antivaccine activists outside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. In recent years, the debate over vaccines and autism, which began in fear and confusion, has hardened into anger. As Dr. Offit’s book details, numerous studies of thimerosal, measles virus and other alleged autism triggers in vaccines have been conducted, and hundreds of children with diagnoses of autism have undergone what he considers sham treatments and been “cured.” Both sides...

On Colin Powell and other Republicans doubting Palin: Asks "What's their problem?" Calls her the "most popular governor in America," lists her accomplishments in Alaska. Says Bill Clinton was "pretty much derided" when he came out of a small state to run for president. "I'm amazed." Says just because she hasn't been to a "Georgetown cocktail party" doesn't mean she's not ready for the job. "I think she's the most qualified of anyone recently who has run for vice president to tell you the truth... I'm frankly entertained at the elitist attidue toward a person who is a proven leader."...

Hugh Hewitt, conservative talk show host on the Salem Radio Network, doesn’t worry too much about the Fairness Doctrine making any sort of comeback. According to him, it simply couldn’t pass Constitutional muster. Yet, there are many conservatives who aren’t quite as assured as Hewitt – especially with the very real possibility of a filibuster-proof Democratic Congress tag-teaming with a White House occupied by the Obama-rama leftocracy. As Brian Anderson wrote in Monday’s New York Post: Yes, the Obama campaign said some months back that the candidate doesn't seek to re-impose this regulation … But most Democrats - including party...
