And faith, Tom Cruise must be Irish, doncha know, 'cuz I saw him play one on TV once. Begorrah!
Isn't it amazing how ignorant and at the same time opinionated foreigners can be about the United States
Imus gave them a club and they beat his brains out.
“The right-wing US broadcasters who fill the air with invective operate way beyond the conventions of good taste.But now one of them, Don Imus, has gone too far - and paid for his loose lips with his job.”
Imus endorsed John Kerry in 2004.
Morons...Imus was anything but right wing. He was a liberal, and his own lib “friends” abandoned him when his ship started sinking after hitting the Jackson-Sharpton iceberg.
Anybody who follows things knows Imus isn't a "right-winger," in any real sense of the word. I wouldn't call him a "left-winger" either. He's a Democrat, more or less middle of the road for his party.
Maybe "millionaire populist" might be a good way to describe Imus. "Right-wing" isn't.
It took less than two complete sentences to prove Andrew Buncombe is a fool.
Not only that, but even if they had gotten Imus’ political-leanings correctly, would he be considered a “shock jock” at all? What did Imus ever do that was “shocking?” (I don’t know myself, and never cared to find out).
Not all radio talk-show hosts are “right-wing”.
Don Aimless is, well, hard to classify. A surly old curmudgeon, he is all over the board, but uniform in one respect - he is an equal-opportunity insult artist, disguised as “comedic”.
Most of the time he is about as funny as somebody who makes jokes about a man with a broken leg on a rubber crutch.
Stopped reading right there. Apparently Buncombe isn't smart enough to bury his Leftist stupidity in the main body of the editorial.
I stopped reading right where they called Imus a right winger. Anybody who believes that has zero credibility.
And faith, Tom Cruise must be Irish, doncha know, 'cuz I saw him play one on TV once. Begorrah!
Danny Bonaduce:Shoot Fonda and hang Rosie?Sounds good to me:)I didn’t know he had a show.
For some reason, the Irish are particularly interested in the Imus story (perhaps because the ridiculous Andrew Sullivan has tried to translate him to the British Isles & Ireland).
As an Irish-American, I am so sick of the Irish getting down on America. When their economy was in the dumps (since what - 1600?), America took them in and employed them. Sure, they took their lumps here, but who started the draft riots during the Civil War that took so many African-American lives? But I’m sure they’re completely ignorant of their history here in the states.
Sorry, but the smoke is still coming out of my ears...
Imus .. right wing??? What is this guy smoking??? I can tell ya that it ain’t a 4-leaf clover ..........
And he's a LIBERAL Andrew, you effin' moron.
I feel sorry for those in England who read the unmitigated twaddle that Buncombe puts out, and think it has something to do with the reality of society and politics in the US. That's what he pretends to put out. But I don't think either he or his editors are so stupid as to believe this tripe.
My opinion of them is slightly higher to conclude that they are dishonest, than that they actually believe what they publish. I mean, that's REALLY dumb.

Writer Buncombe proves he is full of Bunc in his very first paragraph. Thanx for demonstrating your IGNORANCE from the get-go, Mr. Bunc.
A typical multi-level smear from the word "Go!"Does the term "right wing cold warrior" mean anything to this guy?? That was the term for people like Ronald Reagan - until Reagan won the Cold War. After that, leftists had to cover their tracks and protest against Republicans taking the credit they deserved for winning the Cold War. So the term, "right wing cold warrior" - and even the term "right wing" - has been far less in vogue among leftists since then. After all, although leftism is still in vogue under the guise of environmentalism, open leftism is not nearly as easy to espouse after the self-destruction of the Soviet Union.
The case that Don Imus is or was a Republican, let alone a "right winger" cannot IMHO be made; I think his primary audience is RINOs and Democrats. Republicans are in the pocket of Christians, who are repelled by the broadcasting of irreverent humor.
“The right-wing US broadcasters who fill the air with invective operate way beyond the conventions of good taste.But now one of them, Don Imus, has gone too far - and paid for his loose lips with his job”
Andrew Buncombe, I pity just how utterly stupid you are.
Not even zero credibility. Is it possible to be that ignorant?
LMAO!..right wing?????..I guess he saw the light and converted just seconds before he made that remark!!! on a brighter note..it appears the authors lobotomy was successful and he'll be able to continue writing and getting paid!
