Thanks for the ping. McGruff had the best suggestion - Imus should offer up his Ranch for the Katrinia refugees.
I agree, Russert went over the top on his own show and on Imus' show, and the I-Man was wrong when he continued to blame the debacle in NO on race and on the Bush administration. For me, however, there is rarely anything better on morning TV than Imus, unless it is a good guest on C-SPAN or a good movie on TCM. I really get all the news I need here on FR.
That said, Imus is 66 or 67 years old and he may just be thinking about hanging it up before someone puts a note on him at the dog track.
LOL.
Wow! Man, do I feel sorry for you. All I can figure is that you must live in a one station town (which plays only Imus) in north Alaska, cause anybody is better than his program.
In fact, I'd rather hear the Christmas chipmunk song played 2,000 times a day than hear Imus.
Here in Philly, we got a choice of Bill Bennett's Morning in America, which is cerebral but spot on, and Michael Smirconish, who is high energy mainstream conservative, and various other stations coming out of NY City.
Imus has literally had to sell his political soul just to get people to be guests on his show. He is a pathetic figure of someone desparately trying to lay claim to an American icon - the western cowboy.

I e-mailed that idea to Imus last week - no reply.
We only watch Imus for that one interview , that one actual ray of light that Imus can do if he's up to it...Leadpenny could tell you better than me. He snags some of the better and more enlightening interviews done in the AM on ANY network. I can't stand the bastard lately but he can get the interview that nobody else can...he can hold people's feet to the fire when it is really needed...for that, i'll give him a reprieve.
