I can see that, now, after reading your post. It seems as if Imus played the race card by running to Sharpton.

I still think this was a set-up from the Clinton camp. Nobody has the race hustle down like our first black president. Rahm and Hill and Vernon and Bill must be rolling on the floor laughing.

What do they have to gain from taking down Imus? Who by all intents and purposes, belongs on a station in the NYC metro area, that is ranked 17th out of 34 AM and FM stations in the recent Arbitron ratings period, and on a news channel that has enough viewers you could fit in a phone booth.

If Imus was the glue that was holding MSNBC together, you can bet MSNBC will go under soon.

You guys, gotta knock off the Hillary conspiracy talk. She didn't put words in Imus' mouth. Nor did she send him off to Al Sharpton's show.

Imus was fired because GE does not like losing advertisers for one of their investments. If you know anything about the way GE operates, you know this comes down to nothing but dollars. MSNBC would NOT have fired Imus on their own. GE dropped the hammer on Imus, and they will eventually sell of NBC, if they can ever find a buyer.
