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.
Finkelstein was in Iraq in November. Contact him at mark@gunhill.net
I am glad you posted this. While it would have been in-character for Matthews to say this stuff, at least he didn't. Barnicle isn't worth spit: He needs to say this sort of stuff in order to even appear on the radar.
(I just want to be loved from the bellybutton down. Is that so wrong?)
Laz, there may be some who are offenced by that. I'd defend your right to the tagline, however.
You are stuck on censorship issues today.
I don't get it. Nobody's trying to censor these people.
Debug that application -- you are in an endless loop.
But plagiarism is an honor, evidently, to democrats. Biden is always re-elected and is a potential presidential candidate.
I have too much respect for my eyes to look at Imus.
Yes....you are in fact censoring leadpenny for her opinion, and you are of the opinion that Imus and Barnicle should not be allowed to spout this crap.
Laz, there's probably at least one person on this thread who secretly would like to see Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle and Wolfowitz swing for getting us in to Iraq. They're just hiding behind Imus and Barnicle's skirts . I'd expect this crap from Air America, not MSNBC. Maybe it's time to start calling it MoonbatSNBC.
He's ex-Globe, fired for printing fiction as fact.
Lucky you, you missed the long running monologues on Whittaker Chambers, Alger Hiss and Thimerasol (don't ask).
" What's next on MSNBC, a mock hanging of the President?
No telling what Abrams will do next."
I used to think that Dan Abrams was the one person with class at NBC and that he would bring new changes to the format at MSNBC.
Instead, it looks like he is giving the inmates free rein to run the asylum. All that's missing from the line up is Rosie.
The NBC family is basically a less talented tv version of Air America.
Fantasizing about hanging the Vice President and SecDef is inappropriate at any time, but, especially disgusting during war time.
These people are scum.
You're kidding, right?
Laz, cut back on the caffiene. Lighten up.
He's right, you made it up.It didn't happen on this thread.
DC, cut back on the caffiene, and quit making stuff up.
Imus et al's snickers and talk like I imagine that Harris and Klebold engaged in prior to their killings at Columbine High School. Dispicable juvenile visualizing and boasting...followed (in their case) by irresponsible murders.
Look I can't defend what these two f(bomb)wads said but they can say it. However, if you want to do something about it, try the FCC. You have it on national TV and radio. You have a well known jock. You have the transcript and video. All it took to get Stern fined once was some little old lady recording his show and sending in FCC complains.
"Some were calling for him to be banned. That's a jack-booted thug."
Dear Lord. You are equating someone suggesting a ban from a private website to Nazi stormtroopers.
I am a HUGE fan of free speech. Without free speech, I would have never kown exactly what kind of moron you are.
