I told you yesterday; as soon as he said he’d never have her on his show, this all hit the fan.

Any one remember the South Park Episode that aired recently that had a line that said: “Jesse Jackson is not the emperor of all black people”?

Rush was in rare form today. His analogy between the Duke case and how the lame stream media just continues to repeat lies on the IRAQ war until the lies become the perceived truth was a classic. Kudos to Rush today.

Rush et al, do exactly what Ann Coutler said: They make disparaging remarks about people who put themselves out there as a public figure. They are fair game. Rush et al, do not attack sports figures who are just playing their game without comment. They do not attack mom’s in line at the grocery store. Rush et al, radio talk shows are very safe, because they know the rules.

“Do you think Rosie is scared yet?

I seriously doubt it. After all, she’s part of the “protected class” of the downtrodden that can do or say anything they dam well please with no fear of retribution”

I doubt it too, to them trashing Bush is a good thing, but when you insult a black...WELL...

I never cared for imus but this is crap!

If he gets picked up by one of them, he’ll be able to say anything he wants, which might be pretty entertaining.

Agreed... I'd like to see him do a Lenny Bruce and turn the full force of his acid tongue on the Lefties. Imus has nothing to lose. I was surprised by his firing.

In the early ‘90s, Greaseman went national — he was on the air here in Atlanta for a while. He was one of the first hosts to get the Clear Channel treatment, with a few local inserts and pre-recorded intros to fake a thin veener that he was a local host. Why have a host in every city, when you can have one host for dozens of cities and just a board operator at each station?

I listened to Greaseman every morning in DC, and liked him then — but in his Atlanta incarnation, I found him boring. I don’t know if his schtick got more bland, if it was more homogenized for a national as opposed to local audience, or whether I’d just become more mature or burned out on it. In any case, he wasn’t pulling the numbers. I don’t remember if there was a dumbassed on-air comment that cost him the syndication deal or he just faded out for lack of ratings, but it amounts to the same thing.

Bo just mentioned that Imus diverted his plane the other day to pick up a child with cancer so he could get treatment. The child happned to be black. Doesn't sound to me like Imus was a racist.

He said something idiotic, he was apologizing to the young women on the team, it should have been up to THEM if he was forgiven or not.

It was just a spur of the moment rant, but thanks for the reply though.

He has friends at XM...

At Sirius he has a lot of enemies.

I think he’ll go XM if any.

Yes, quite an incendiary, powerful statement from Howlin. I believe there’s an element of truth to what she says. Whether it’s 80/20, 50/50, I’m not sure...

On TV you mean? He was the #1 show in that time slot on cable news TV. It’s all relative. 1st place is 1st place.
