The children should not lose out because of some of these cowards out there. The sponsors who pulled out should be required to make up the difference between what he needed to raise and what was raised.
96.9FM radio will be carrying the remainder of Imus' telethon on their radio station up in New England tomorrow.
I find it hard to muster up much sympathy for Imus, he has a nasty streak a mile wide.
His employer fired him. I'm okay with that as a conservative because, like Bush firing attorneys, employers should be free to fire employees.
I think Imus was sincere in his apology but he has a history of being a nasty guy who makes nasty comments, ask Howie Carr's wife.
It's also difficult not to take an unChristianlike pleasure in Imus' left wing buds throwing him off the bus while at the same time coming off to significant numbers of the populace as left wing fascists. Politically speaking this issue will drive libertarians and independents back to the correct side of the political divide, the right.
Would I have fired Imus? Probably not but only because his good works for vets and children mitigates somewhat his being one nasty SOB.
Agreed!
