NBC is caving to a confirmed liar, a noisy RAT Congressman. It’s PC carried to extremes. I never liked Imus, but he should have known that he would lose this one to the PC crowd. His multiple apologies were of no account in the affair.

I heard the comments and there’s no mis-construing them.

I didn't hear the comments because I haven't been able to listen to the guy for years. But I read them though and he ought to get the boot.

I dislike Imus. But I don’t know what all the gloating is about here. Conservatives should be VERY disturbed by this sort of political correctness run amok

“When he returns, his ratings will be higher than ever.”

No question that this has been huge advertising for him. I bet his ratings will initially double.

Remember now, Rush got FIRED for less of an ‘offense’.

I'm not a huge Rush fan, but what happened to him was shameful. In no way were his comments intended to cause harm.

Imus, on the other hand, made statements intended to be hurtful, inflammatory, and (let's just say it) racist.

Maybe they can get Jesse of “Hymietown” fame to substitute.

That's about all I could handle.

And I remember some of the shots he took at Rush.

“BET and doesn’t approach the tastelessness of a show like South Park.”

Where the one black character is named “Token”.

Hahahaha!

You have no way of knowing that.

Because he said 'nappy?'

Would Webster's please, please, please publish a Dictionary of Forbidden Words?

Looks like Donnie boy needs some intervention, send him to the White Privlidge Conference in Washington state. It sounds like they have already sent most of his bosses. Nice to know you have a strong company behind you isn’t it? Its also been preety quite and Al was eyeing a new wardrobe, who says extortion doesn’t pay.

I intend to watch it -— right after dinner. I thank you for the link. I cannot imagine apologizing to sharpton -— he’s such a slug and racist himself.

No. If he was a naughty six-grader, he’d be having sex in the classroom. /s

Conservatives don't have a dog in this fight. You really want to die on this hill?

Imus “revels in other peoples misery”. I’m wondering if he reveling in his own misery. I’m also wondering if the fathers of any of those “nappy headed ho’s” are thinking about collapsing Imus’ other lung. I admit that I would be.

Define any context where his statement would NOT be intentionally insulting.
