Take heart, Imus. You're merely joining a long and legendary laundry list of individuals who were summarily sacrificed in the name of society's sanctimonious soul: Socrates, Jesus, Galileo, Joan of Arc, Mozart and Mark Twain... Hmmmm...so the I-Man is now compared to Jesus Christ? Interesting claim from one of Imus' cronies...
To: Jalapeno
It is, and on target too. Im a little bit older than Imus, and we both grew up in an age when it was said that people learned from their mistakes, and apologized when you had offended someone. As Pat Buchannan, another old white guy in his seventh decade said a few days ago, Don Imus asked for forgivness and didn’t get it.

He said list, not comparison.

In the lyrics, Kinky uses the "N word".
It's kind of like jeff Dalmer getting Hannibal Lecter to be his defense lawyer.

There's no excusing Imus' recent ridiculous remark, but there's something not kosher in America when one guy gets a Grammy and one gets fired for the same line.There was a great line on the opening SNL skit last night when the Sharpton character said, "Nothing strikes more fear in the heart of a hip-hop artist than the firing of 68 year-old white man."

So, if Imus was such an iconic truthteller, why did he cave and apologize?
Why did he go out of his way and apologize to Sharpton on SHARPTON'S radio show?
A truthteller...especially a cranky old codger like Imus should have grabbed the opportunity to flip the figurative bird to the race hucksters and dared for them to bring the debate out in the open.
Only then would the country be able to discuss the hypocrisy that exists in what is deemed an insult versus artistic license.

Why did he go out of his way and apologize to Sharpton on SHARPTON'S radio show? Because his addiction to money and fame overpowered his supposed dedication to truth-telling.
The irony of it is, he thought that by groveling he would salvage his career.
He thought wrong. Race-baiters like Sharpton and Jackson don't play win-win.

A very weak and distant comparison perhaps, but a more foolish one would be to switch Imus for Sharpton.

Well, Imus’s words did scar that one basketball player for life (sarc).

Imus “was a spiritual chop-buster never afraid to go after the big guys with nothing but the slingshot of ragged integrity.”?
Nonsense.
Imus was the quintessential cheap shot artist. Period.

I hope and pray that when I slip and fall Kinky Freidman doesn’t show up to support me.

Maybe, he heard Code Pink shouting in his ear, “Pull out now.” When Cowardice and surrender are in the air, predators strike from every direction.

Thanks for the post, I had the opportunity to see Imus’s generosity having worked at Hackensack General Hospital where Imus’s name is not only revered but attached to the Children’s Cancer Center. Good luck Imus & thanks.

Well, he
is "God's Other Son".
