IMUS SUSPENDED

[Nextrush]

WILLIAMS ANNOUNCING ON NBC, TWO WEEKS SUSPENSION

[Nextrush]

What’s treason compared to “insensitivity.”

[Alberta's Child]

If Imus had to apologize to every person who has ever been insulted on his show, he'd be spending the next 20 years doing it.

People who have never seen/heard his show probably don't realize that Imus himself is the #1 target of insults on the show -- from both his employees AND his guests.

[Just sayin]

Bitches n’Ho’s on Rap CD’s is one thing,

Time of day and venue makes it OK or not OK then? It isn't What he said, it's just Where he said it and When he said it? Is that what you are saying?

[Tanniker Smith]

Best of Imus?

What? Dead air?

[jwalsh07]

And in any event, I think we should pick our battles more prudently. Imus's statement is offensive and indefensible, IMO.

I agree 100%.

Imus has a history of this garbage. In fact he and CBS had to pay a suit brought by Howie Carr some years ago when Imus sai something nasty and totally uncalled for about Carr's wife.

[Wormwood]

If Imus gets suspended for such as this, Rosie O’Donnell should canned for no less. She is pathetic.

Of course!

But just because Rosie is not getting her (deserved) punishment does not mean that Imus automatically gets a reprieve in the interest of 'fairness'.

[Let's Roll]

I heard him groveling to Sharpton - I didn’t even recognize his voice, must have been that humble pie he was eating.

He’s a mean-spirited old fart but Sharpton is a con artist so no down side to that mess for me.

Pity it’s not from a burning rope over an alligator pit :)

[Tanniker Smith]

Imus vs. Al Sharpton

There you go! I thought that there couldn't be a feud that I could care less about or like the participants less than the Rosie v. Trump non-issue.

Geez. At least Tupac and B.I.G. shot bullets at each other (or had their proxies do it).

[leadpenny]

They either don’t admit watching or they are using mental telepathy.

[freekitty]

Two weeks?

[jwalsh07]

I see. Another vote for PC.

PC? My opposing calling young women "nappy headed whores" is PC?

If Imus ever spoke about my daughter like that he'd have a lot more to worry about than a two week suspension or groveling to the race baiting Al Sharpton.

[onyx]

Looks like he’ll still have his radio show -— perhaps a live thread with a link to listen will be appropriate for tomorrow. He’s bound to say something, but maybe not much...

[peeps36]

I guess freedom of speech doesn’t apply to straight white males or whatever category Imus fits into. Imus must have thought he kissed enough liberal ass over the years to get himself a pass from the race hustlers. I’ll have to add Nappi-Headed Ho’s to my list of outlawed words.

[Wormwood]

If Imus had to apologize to every person who has ever been insulted on his show, he'd be spending the next 20 years doing it.

In that case, perhaps he should have realized that there is a line.

It may be blurry and indistinct, it may unfair, unjust, or inequitable---but there is a line and he crossed it.

WILLIAMS ANNOUNCING ON NBC, TWO WEEKS SUSPENSION

Will anybody notice? Imus is on only 70 stations. All this nonsense will probably help bring him much needed publicity.

[JRochelle]

I have a hard time feeling sorry for the guy.

This morning he was saying if someone like him says what he did, and he’s one of the good guys, what must a right-winger be saying about blacks?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Yes, that’s what i’m saying.

[Sue Perkick]

That’s exactly what they’ll do. Or spend the two weeks talking about Anna Nicole’s baby daddy.

[AIM-54]

This wimp culture is increasingly pathetic.

What ever happened to ‘sticks and stone swill break my bones...’?

Imus is an idiot, but this hyper-sensitive meltdown is absolute nonsense.

No wonder the Islamofascists think they can beat us!
