I don't like Imus much either but not neccssarily because he is Liberal. His act just gets old and his interviews have gotten pretty predictable.
Still don't believe that Dierdre is a Bush supporter.
I tune out when David Gregory or Mick Barnicle begin their droning sessions.
"Predictable" in the way he conducts an interview. For my money there is no one, except maybe Brian Lamb, who allows someone to make a point without stepping on their lines. This is from yesterday's program:
March 25, 2005
Imus and Jon Meacham of Newsweek discuss the Terri Schiavo case in connection to religion and the common love between parents and their children.
Imus: "I understand what the law is, and I understand all the ramifications of this case... I think. But wouldn't you think that somebody at some point would say something.... if it's the courts, and that would be appropriate, that just the humanity of this, in spite of what the husband has said, and whether he is technically the legal guardian or not, the parents have expressed a willingness to take care of this woman.... Why not let them?"
Jon Meacham: "That's precisely my personal view, not speaking journalistically. I have two little kids and my wife and I talked about this. What if twenty-five years from now one of them is married to someone that we don't seem to like very much, and we don't particularly trust their version of events..."
Imus: "Which by the way is going to happen...."
Jon Meacham: " (Laughing) Well that's a sobering thought on this Holy day.... Thank you. What would we do? This exactly links to the Holy day we are on, because I think the love of a parent for a child, seems to me is the most fundamental and unbreakable bond in the human experience. I think that's the reason that the story of Jesus resonates so much. What you have is God, the Father, doing something, carrying out what he would not let Abraham do with Isaac. Actually killing and sacrificing his own son for a mysterious atonement and resolution of the human drama. So I don't think you can ever turn off the parental love. I agree with you on a common sense level. If the parents want to do this, more power to them. God be with them, and we should all pray for a miracle, or the day endure and prevail in whatever ways they want it. You're right. One does wish that some common sense has been injected into this process, which has become incredibly politicized, and sadly has become one more skirmish in this larger culture war that seems to be going on without end."
