I doooo think so. Imus' is immensely popular and is especially so to those who enjoy his tirades and nasty humor. I look for the networks to sneak him back into play the moment they think they can get away with it. Free speech liberals are already getting op-eds in major papers supporting him. One was in the L.A. Times today by a major black lib.
I'll bet you a dollar he is back and bigger than ever inside of 12 months.
Immensely popular? Not even close.

I don’t think that what Imus did was so terrible (certainly compared to Howard Stern, who I will absolutely never listen to again), but people are in a punitive mood and no one’s safe.
Your dollar is safe. He will be back within 2 months though. (Laughs). Reverend Sharpton will get voice weary, even he will run out of steam. What next? Someone else down the line will get caught.
Orwell would have had a field day.
So now he’s lost his CBS radio show. Do you still think he’ll be back bigger and better in 12 months? Like Dan Rather is?
