Don Imus: Obama's a 'Hypocrite and a Phony'; Biden's a 'Moron'
Newsbusters ^ | September 7, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

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. [...]

I think this is the first time I’ve ever agreed with Don Imus.

Perhaps so, but, the word Racist is kind of watered down now,, most people view it as “ WHO CARES “

He also was a big JFnK backer and he slandered the good men of the Swift Boats every which way he could.

So I would avoid calling on Imus The Idiot as a witness on any subject, even one on which he is MOMENTARILY correct (or partially correct, since the indications are he is “correct” for the wrong reasons).

Imus dosen’t so much say what he thinks as say what he thinks will offend.

Hey Imus, we all knew this before YOU voted for the guy. You wouldn’t listen to Conservatives who were warning you about how Obama and Biden were hypocrites and morons. Now that he has dipped in the polls, you are going to twist in the wind, much like you did with GWB. Maybe you are the real hypocrite MORON!

I was surprised to hear he is coming to Fox Business. I guess he hasn’t been back on TV since his Rutgers comment, and they are trying to beef up viewership of Fox Biz, but even so, it took me aback to hear he was going to be on. Hope it works out for them.

I heard Imus has cancer.

He made a public announcement back in March saying he has Prostate Cancer.

With present day medical treatment, he's likely to see it disappear. Can't say as much for future Obama Care.

Not really speaking out in any kind of effect manner. He is infatuated by Obama’s skin.

Biden comes across as one of the stupidest politicians I’ve ever had the misfortune to see. The Dems owe Dan Quayle a major apology.

Why are they putting this pos on TV? I couldn’t understand why people used to watch him before, what is there to see? It’s a studio set with people sitting around waiting for something.
