I'm obviously and avid fan, but here is the thing about Imus: He tries to persuade, influence, cajole, etc., others in the media to take some advice. If they don't listen to him, he generally gives up on them.

Years ago (2-3) Rather was a regular guest on the his show and was quite entertaining. But, when Rather went back to his show he turned back into his condescending, pompous ways. Imus has nothing to do with him now.

Matthews and O'Reilly are two pretty good guests on the Imus program. He has pleaded with both of them to use the style, when they are his guests, on their own shows. In other words, he tries to get them to calm down and be more human. He has now given up on Matthews. O'Reilly is next. Imus doesn't even try with Hannity.

Right now Imus is bantering with Andrea Mitchell and still slamming Matthews. Great television. How anyone can go back to any other morning show (except maybe C-SPAN) after watching Imus is beyond me. Of course he just called Bush and idiot and Clinton a Bozo, but that's his sthick.

Yeah, I caught that. I also caught him saying Rice was attempting to "hoodwink" us, I heard him call our president a "nitwit" and Rumsfeld a "psychopath."

I don't consider that "calm" and O'Reilly is bad enough without picking up those habits. I've changed the channel.
