Martin Garbus, Imus' lawyer, said "The lawsuit is without merit and will be dismissed."

Mr. Garbus is right. These people aren't the first advertiser Imus has dissed in his long career. They had to know this was a possibility. Plus, can they prove damages?

“Plus, can they prove damages?”

I’m not sure it matters. My advertising contracts explicitly state that I am not to be held responsible if their business declines after advertising with me. I believe that is standard.

A few years ago, I just happened to have Imus on when he was running some fund raising auction, probably for his ranch, and an auto dealer donated a Hummer. Imus wondered if it was the "cheap" or deluxe model.

Not that I was a regular listener, but that did it for me. He gets an pretty expensive donation, and he disses the dealer?

I was listening to a shortwave broadcast of a Jean Shepherd show. He read some ad, possibly a "PSA", and it was so poorly written, Shepherd criticized the thing as he read it.

What was probably a 15 second announcement went on for what seemed like two minutes.
