You can watch Imus in the Morning for a couple of years before this will happen, Don Imus thinks a guest goes too far with a joke. Normally, the I-Man enjoys finding humor in the agony of public figures. On todays program Craig Crawford tried to play along and tested his new Samuel Alito material at 6:44.
Craig Crawford: "I actually think, you know, the wife leaving the room crying, that made all the evening news and, you know, it was the better video and made him look like a sympathetic figure. Although, you know, she started crying when Senator, when Lindsey Graham said Alito is not a bigot, that seemed to make her cry. I guess she thought she had married a bigot. It was surprising to her to hear that he wasnt a bigot."
Don Imus: "Well, no. I dont think thats"
Crawford: "Oh, maybe Ive got that mixed up."
Imus: "Youre an idiot. Talking with Craig Crawford. Whats wrong with you?"
After a comment to promote Crawfords latest book, Imus continued with the Alito discssion: "Well, is Alito a bigot?"
Crawford took the opportunity to put the poor jokes aside: "No. I mean the idea that when he was trying to impress the Reagan administration that he belonged to this club that some people think was bigoted, but I dont even think that can be established. That's about all they've laid on him."
