No, he was a pussy when he was on Sharpton’s Show. He could have gone in there with all the stupid racist stuff that Sharpton has said in the past and confronted him, with it. He went in with hat in hand and groveled like a worm.

He acts all tough now when he has noone confronting him but his rump-swab co-host!

I think the other factor here is that when that interview took place, Imus didn’t know his future status at MSNBC. He might have thought refraining from blasting Sharpton at the time might save the MSNBC simulcast. But since then MSNBC has dropped his show. So now he knows he has nothing to lose (or far less to lose) by completely venting.
