Worse than that, Cavett was truly attacking John O'Neill ("Unfit for Command" author) personally. He and Imus were laughing about the out-of-date suit that O'Neill wore when he was on Cavett's show years ago(O'Neill himself has spoken as to how he had very little money back then and couldn't really afford anything else to wear), about O'Neill's gain in weight, and even how it was no big deal that O'Neill donated a kidney to his own wife. Cavett was vicious, and Imus, of course, did nothing to defend O'Neill.

But predictably, they did not dispute the facts that O'Neill brought up.

Imus has always been a freak..bragging about driving his daughter to have an abortion..

That is truly pathetic. O'Neill was just days out of the Navy.... I guess to the psuedo-sophisticated Cavett he looked like a rube. When you can't attack the message, personally attack the messenger!
