Though I disagree with his firing from PMSNBC, I do agree that his show is not as popular and other than his flagship station in NY, most of the stations around the country (Including here in Atlanta) that carry his show are on low-wattage 1K stations that can be interfered with police-band radio.
the lacrosse team, you mean?
Imus is now bigger than sliced bread. He is going to make more money now then he ever did. He is thanking everyone for the free publicity.
Isn't a prerequisite to be an a-hole to work at MSNBC?
I predict an Air America host will be offered the MSNBC timeslot. Randi Rhodes being most probable Sam Seder second choice.
Right. Imus raked Trent Lott over the coals for days after the fact, calling Lott a "racist pig".
Imus was a total moron to go on Sharpton’s show. Why bother? He still got sh*t canned.
I HATE to agree with Howard Stern, but Imus should have to told Sharpton to F off. Who died and made Sharpton king of all blacks?
Will anyone notice?
I dooooon’t think so. As Phil Donohue and Connie Chung are finding, once you’re fired from MSNBC there’s really no lower you can go.
They *had* to do this since they fired Savage in an "easy decision" for using the term "sodomite."
I doooo think so. Imus' is immensely popular and is especially so to those who enjoy his tirades and nasty humor. I look for the networks to sneak him back into play the moment they think they can get away with it. Free speech liberals are already getting op-eds in major papers supporting him. One was in the L.A. Times today by a major black lib.
I'll bet you a dollar he is back and bigger than ever inside of 12 months.
yes sorry. i don’t care what team it was, the poverty pimps along with the NY Times crucified these kids and won’t apologize.
I agree 100%. What I can’t believe is that so many at FR are defending his comments. I would expect that from liberals. The Rutgers basketball players did nothing to deserve such an offensive comment. There was nothing even remotely funny about it.
I thought I'd look it up...
"I Wish"
by Stevie Wonder
Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
I do, as do many others. But those who follow and support $harpton and jack$on do not.
Immensely popular? Not even close.

I don’t think that what Imus did was so terrible (certainly compared to Howard Stern, who I will absolutely never listen to again), but people are in a punitive mood and no one’s safe.
“Most all of television has gone to sh*t in my view. I watch a bit of news and that’s about it. I’m not interested in watching liberals lie, queers decorate, “reality” shows, or Jerry Springer. That doesn’t leave much.”
Amen to that! The network shows are sewers of depravity, political correctness, gay focussed dreck. The shows are boring, annoying, offensive, trite, shallow, stupid, and mind-and-soul DESTROYING. Oh, and that’s the so-called ‘good ones’ (like the awful Boston Legal). Ever since Depraved Housewives or whatever-it-was-called the hollywood jihad against normalcy has accelerated. Everything has been queered up to the n-th degree. Not a single real decent Christian or wholesome family is depicted in the cultural desert of network soaps/dramas/sitcoms.
The news is nothing but liberal spin, but I haven’t watched that since sometime in the previous millenium.
Good. I’m glad they dropped him. That’s what he gets for calling a bunch of college girls whores. Too bad for him.
Your dollar is safe. He will be back within 2 months though. (Laughs). Reverend Sharpton will get voice weary, even he will run out of steam. What next? Someone else down the line will get caught.
Orwell would have had a field day.
