Well, phooey...

I watched his show this morning and all this rough talk about Rush was very much in the context of what Imus himself has gone through. And this is his style.... Imus is not about flowery feel-good language about the heroism of hard fights.

THIS is what Rush needs to hear, he said, this is what Rush is hearing in his rehab program...

It is the wake up call, and Imus said the last thing he needs is coddling so he "FEELS" better. He said "Sounds harsh, but that is what it takes".

This is out of that context.

I heard Imus the same way you did. I had begun to wonder if I was imagining what I heard him say.

Oh, okay. If this is out of context, I get it. Maybe Imus isn't so wrong for smacking Rush a little. L-rd knows he's gonna get much worse in Rehab, and it will all be for his own good.

Imus? I thought he was already dead and been replaced with some wrinkled old woman in a hat...THAT'S Imus?!!

I thought it was Bella Abzug after Slimfast...

Carl, I love ya like a brother, but if you take stuff out of context like this I will have to start questioning your reporting.

Thanks... selective quotes from "shock jocks" lose all context in print.

"This is out of that context."

Thanks for the info. I know how 'no holds barred' discussion can (and must) be amoung recovering addicts/alcoholics.
