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.

Barnicle did quite enough talking:
Barnicle on Rumsfeld: "F-you. You go to the gallows with the noose you want, with the noose you have, not the noose you want."
Barnicle on Cheney: "This is a guy that would wet his pants and whine and start crying."
"He would be shot in the back running away."
Barnicle on Perle: "Oh, God. He would soil himself."
Imus has to do something to get attention. It's not like he's brilliant or interesting.
Maybe he doesn't know it, but a clinical psychologist would call that "projection".
Speaking of wetting his pants, I'm surprised Imus didn't have on his New York Times Tinkerbell, Frank Rich, to join the frivolity. Or even that Alpha-twit, Oliphant.
Imus peaked years ago when Bernard his Producer still had front teeth.
He should pack it in and call it enough.
His pretense at "noo yawk socialite" is way too much with his wife leadig him around in a noose of his own making.
No, Mike Barnicle is a LIAR for the Boston Globe. 'believe he's had some "trouble" in the past confusing the fiction of his mind with the truth at hand.
The version you posted was only corrected as to the Matthews/Barnicle confusion. The text itself had not been corrected. I would ask in the future that since I am a FReeper, you permit me to post my own articles from NewsBusters.

If he wasn't the sweetheart of a few left-leaning inside the beltway types, he'd be long gone (almost as fast as his lovely wife Deirdre would bail on him if the show went off) already. Even he admits on the air that he's a despicable human being.
I hear he just went off the air in Houston, TX and Albany, NY. Anybody know if that's true?
A disgraced, leftist plagiarizer from Boston.
Other than that, I'm sure he's a great guy!
These guys sound exactly like sociopathic jihadists!
These people actually sound like Minnesotans! (Blue Minneapolis Moonbat variety).
The concept of humor up here is "Bush is a stupid chimp".
DUmmieland.
Actually MY fault. From now on I will trust my eyes, not my ears since I heard it as the wrong person.
Among other things, Stern claimed that Imus regularly referred to Robin Quivers by the N-word. Robin backed Stern up on this.
Imus is a vile, stupid little man. That he's your hero tells us alot about you.
Sarcasm has replaced humor lately, when pure hate is involved, nothing is funny.
As was I when you, leadpenny, were announcing your proud support of Jim Webb for Senate.
I think your support of Imus and Webb and your sophomoric retreat to the notion of "free speech" indicates the content of your character.
Oh, no, Imus is not leadpenny's hero, Jim Webb is. Ask him.
>>>A disgraced, leftist plagiarizer from Boston.<<<
You have captured the essence of Mike Barnicle, very succinctly.
So far, the only person censored on this thread is Laz, not leadpenny. Your post is inaccurate.
