Firestorm? What firestorm? There is almost no reporting on this story. No Democrats commenting about it. No MSNBC executives are distancing themselves from Imus. Russert, Matthews, Mitchell, Olbermann have not commented nor have they been asked to.
No Al Sharpton, no Jesse Jackson.
No firestorm.
If people didn’t get upset when he made the comment about seeing a shot of Gwenn Ifill outside the Whitehouse.
Imus : Why the hell does NBC have a camera on the cleaning lady outside the Whitehouse?”

Yep, Imus is a bitter, old, bigoted coot.
For sure, one or both of them would be drawn like a shark to blood on this latest racial slur. It's just a part of their self-appointed job description.
We're watching two "reverends" without churches of their own...they have better and more lucrative fish they can "preach to" (read: save).
Neither has the credentials to chastise anyone; read their histories.
Imus deserves to be rebuked. Sharpton, Jackson and anyone else of their ilk are out for the possible dollars in their own pockets, IMO.
