Imus had no qualms about going after the Goliaths that were considered Politically Incorrect but he exposed his belly like a cowering bitch puppy to Al Sharpton when he offended the forces of Political Correctness.

the other side story or lesson of all of this is the shock of finding out who your true friends are....I wouldn't have believed Harold Ford would've turned his back on IMUS - he supported him so devotedly and Ford ran for cover. If anything it proves that you can't buy courage or leadership....and Ford is a great example of that in the end.

Don Imus doesn’t like Hillary Clinton and has made that very clear in the past with various remarks. IMHO, I think it is telling that paid shills for the Democratic Party (Jackson, Sharpton) were instrumental in Imus’s demise. This in no way defends the content of Imus’s comments, but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.
Also, Deirdre Imus’s book tour has been canceled for “Green This! Volume 1: Greening Your Cleaning”. Thanks Procter and Gamble (one of the first advertisers to cancel ads on the Imus show.)
there’s something not kosher in America when one guy gets a Grammy and one gets fired for the same line.
Needs repeating.
Kinky is goofier’n’ waltzin pissant but his jewels are brass.
Kinky is right on this one. An apology , maybe 2 weeks off the air ...thats about all that should have happened ...People forget there is an off button on the radio
Kinky gets a little grandiose describing the wonders of Imus but his points are right on concerning the hypocrisy of free speech censored by the shallow, no guts MSM...
Free spirit cowboys like Kinky are skillful with long ropes whereas idiot liberals get tangled up in self applied knots.
Right on, Kinkster!
Imus...this is what liberal stalinists do to those scoundrels who upset their apple cart... Imus you may get another shot at radio in a different format...perhaps a different message....the chance to revile the hypocrisy of the media censoring liberal elitists....exposing the freedom-squashing gutless scum for who they are...
Well stated.
Fight back and win, Mr. Imus, before "they" come for us -- and things get really ugly.
Thanks Kinky.
Wathing McGlothlin Group this morning, Elanor Clift and Clarence Page were one side bashing Imus, and Tony Blankley and Pat Buchanan were on the other defending him.
I know I’m on the right side.
Watching.
