Radio's Don Imus appeared on a special Labor Day edition of "Hannity" Monday evening, and really let President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have it.
In a no holds barred discussion on Fox News, Imus said he thought Obama "was a hypocrite and a phony," and that Biden, in the 100 times he's interviewed him, has said "far worse things" than he's ever said on radio.
In Imus's view, Biden's "a moron" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t Story Balloon):
DON IMUS, RADIO HOST: Even my own personal experience with [Barack Obama], and I thought he was a hypocrite and a phony, but, I mean Plugs is even worse, Biden. Because, I've had Biden on my program a hundred times, and he's said far worse things than I ever said. And, and making fun of going to 7-11s. I mean, I was just trying to be funny and be hip which was stupid. But I'm not offering that as an excuse for what I said. I'm just saying he is, he, because he's a moron, Joe Biden, has said a lot worse things. [...]

Wow, even the I-Man is speaking out now.
Test.
Sorry I-man. He’s not a lovely guy and he knows exactly what he’s doing. Try again.
Imus will once again be labeled a Racist.
Imus the Imbecile. His criticism of Obama is suspect. He’s a “lovely guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing”?
And his big problem is that he appoints Goldman Sachs guys?
Bullpucky. He’s an evil SOB who hates America and appoints commies.
Imus is an Idiot.
The power of the alternate news media.
The I-Man is radio expresso.
Who would watch I-man instead of Joe Scarborough.
I vote I-man.
Wow indeed. You'd think Imus just cut a deal with Fox for his show or something.
His revamped show started out with two African Americans ( a woman and and a man, Karith something and Tony Powell) to make up for his stupid remarks denigrating the Rutgers women's hoop team. Powell is insufferable and totally unfunny (when he did his bits Imus would be yukking it up in the background), though Karith was pretty clever.
His ratings must have tanked, becasue they seem to be gone.
He has a steady parade of dreadful libs on the show and never asks them a tough question. The only thing he is consistently conservative about is the Second Amendment...well, at least for himself.
I believe his remarks on Hannity were just calculated to increase his ratings...no more, no less.
The Hannity segment about Imus and his wife was a repeat from weeks ago. That couple has done tons of work at their ranch for children with cancer and have spent millions of their dollars to do so.
Imus made a point that he was a Dem and Hannity was not.
I believe the criticism of Imus is not appropriate, just because he has a tendancy to say what he thinks instead of bowing down to the PC Police.
I thought Imus was on Fox business in the morning now....is he on TV
I heard Imus has cancer.
That would open up Glenn to have the entire 9 to 12 slot to himself, (Gallager is no competition IMHO).
We are so over Imus, bad move Fox, lets move on here....
And that is exactly what should be said by our representatives, because that's exactly what it is. There's going to come a time when people are going to have to wake up and act like responsible adults and deal with what is happening here: complete and utter incompetence. And when that day comes...and it's coming soon....that's when the sh*t will hit the fan.
....I just don't think he knows what he's doing.
Yup, like I said....
And it isn't just rhetoric this time, like it normally is between the feuding parties. This is serious doubt as to competence. Everybody knows it, it's just a matter of time before they admit it....
Before the election he said he didnt think it would be a Terrible thing if Obama got elected ,no just a Catastrophe
What is it that anyone sees in this clown?
