Big h/t to reader PJG.
Does it get any more foul than this? During the 8 AM ET hour of Don Imus's show this morning he and Mike Barnicle fantasized about how various Republicans would react to being hung on the gallows.
Note: this item was prepared from the closed-caption transcript. It will be reviewed and corrected as appropriate in the course of the morning.Imus: "I tried to imagine how members of the various current administration members would behave were they subjected to the gallows as Saddam Hussein was. I can see Rumsfeld . . . "
Barnicle: "He wouldn't take it."
Imus: "No blindfold for Rumsfeld."
Barnicle: "F-you. You go to the gallows with the noose you want, with the noose you have, not the noose you want. Whatever."
Imus: "That's exactly right. Just as that trap door opens, he drops an f-bomb to all of them."
Barnicle: "How about Cheney?"
Imus: "I don't think he would make it up the steps. This is a guy that would wet his pants and whine and start crying."
Barnicle: "He would order as a last meal 400 pounds of bacon."
Imus: "This guy has six diplomas to get out of Vietnam because he had, what was the phrase he used -- he had some more important issues to deal witH. He got his wife pregnant just to keep him out of dealing with this. Wolfowitz would cry."
Barnicle: "He would be shot in the back running away."
Imus: "Exactly."
Barnicle: "Or some of the other players."
Imus: "Richard Perle."
Barnicle: "Oh, God. He would soil himself."
Imus: "Can't you see him being dragged up by his shirt?"
Barnicle: "And a combover hanging over down the side of his head."
In one of the oddest transitions, Barnicle then asks: "Everybody well in your family, your kids, wife, all that?
Imus: "Thank God, everybody is, and I hope everybody is in your household and everybody else's household, because the health of your family, everything else pales in comparison. If you draw a breath in the morning, you're ahead of the day."
Such wonderful family values, these guys.

Good, I'm in before most of the jack-booted thugs get here.
Long live the I-Man.
He's a reporter for the Boston Globe.
"This guy has six diplomas . . ."
He said "deferments."
I'm-a-wuss in the morning is a disgusting excuse for a human being to be talking that way. Maybe he should go back to drugs and alcohol. This way he wouldnt show up to work and spew his hate.
MSNBC aiding and abetting, dishonoring and trashing the troops, their efforts, the CIC, and rooting for a "win" for the Islamic cults.
Enemy propaganda at its best.
I thought he went to the Herald.
Don't ya just love free speech?
Love or hate his act, one thing is for sure Howard Stern had Don Imus pegged so long ago.
How would you act if you were going to the gallows?
The 'fantasy' above makes your I-Man look like a despicable excuse of a human being.
If that makes me a "jack-booted thug," fine.
I guess we ought to have threads where we go on and on about how various liberal pols and journalists would react to being hanged.
You'd ban him?
"Don't ya just love free speech?"
Can't speak for Pete, but, I do.It allows us to identify p.o.s. like these two.
Imus is prone to wetting his pants simply by shifting in his chair.
We have threads that go on and on about how hateful "The" MSM, DBM, etc. is.
Guess I am a jack-booted thug. Imus is a wretched human being.
You're defending him? Seesh
