Imus On Letterman – Punk

Don Imus who now has a morning tv show brings his insight to both talkradio and tv.

Don Imus is not known for holding back. He generally calls it like he sees it when it comes to people of power and position in particular. Cavuto gets him going … but it’s all Don Imus.

Imus can’t be “nappy” because he’s white so therefore it’s called “natty” like your hair is all knoted up!

Natty has something to do with hair only to the extent that it's neat.

And were Mrs. Palin to cross paths with Mr. Letterman and were to punch Mr. Letterman in the nose and I were on a jury I would vote not guilty.
I do not think it would take Mr. Palin to kick Mr. Lettermans well deserving ass, I’m sure Saracuda would clean his clock.

Yes lol

“Imus said Sarah Palin is a nice person, but thinks it is a ‘horrifying thought’ that she could be the GOP Nominee in 2012. Imus said she is a ‘dope’ who governed a state with ‘90 people and a polar bear.’”

A couple of thoughts: first, I think Imus is pretty funny most of the time (at least, he beats both Letterman and Leno in that department). Second, Palin (who I greatly admire) created the “dope” image herself. In light of her interviews last Fall, it is appropriate for Americans to think she has a considerable burden to demonstrate that she has the intellectual wherewithal to be President.

For myself, I think Palin’s instincts and common sense are generally very good. I also think she is better than Obama in every category, including intellect; but “better than Obama” is a very low hurdle. In light of Obama’s cultish following (not entirely unlike some of Palin’s following), it will likely take a lot more than just “better than Obama” to defeat Obama in 2012. Palin needs to show us she can do that job.

“all knoted up” huh?

You have me all knotted up in laughter!

BTW: As you know, Imus’s phrase that incited so much din and thunder was “nappy haired ho.” Imus is no doubt white, but the phrase, as his euphamistic pitard, can be used to hoist him. Imus natty? That’s a stretch.

[Ahithophel]

Roll tape: the phrase was actually “nappy headed hoes”

I will never listen to him EVER! Not since he said Sarah is a dope.

I hope his show is canceled. I would have tuned in to him on occasion had he not trashed Sarah...And don't anybody try to tell me he did not trash her! He called her a dope. Case freakin closed... Imus is not right on anything!

[Friendofgeorge]

I judge people by what they say about Sarah, that is my litmus test! If they do not like Sarah, I have no use for them. I rarely watch Fox and Friends anymore since Brian and Gretchen trashed Sarah after she left the Gov`s office. Steve Doocy was on holidays that week, I emailed him about it when he got back, he answered and said he disagreed with Brian and Gretchen, and that he totally got what she said.

I have listen to Imus for years. If Palin was to go on his show or she spent 5 minutes with Imus and his wife, then I’m sure Imus would change his mind. Palin is actually the type of person (western background, straight shooter, etc) that Imus adores, but he has been bias by the MSM. Also, Imus’s producer is a big Palin fan and he usually moves Imus in the RIGHT direction. I expect that Imus’s mind will soon change.
