That clip you posted was brilliant...always on the cutting edge is Rush:
"Do the right thing: A white MSNBC host should resign right now and make room for a black anchor. Come on, liberals! Step up and show us the way to total enlightenment."

It was just announced on the "Mike and the Mad Dog Show" on WFAN (Imus's home base): Imus is out of a job on radio as well.
He will not even be on the air tomorrow.
Are you ladies watching BOR right now. Malik Shabaz called Michelle Malkin a Political Prostitute.
Amazing. Even Imus is naive!
She also sucked up to the leader of LaRaza today.
But Stern's agreement is that he controls what goes on channels 100 and 101 - and he's the main star at Sirius. Karmazin is not going to do anything to tick him off.
Stern hates Imus, so Imus would have to do some groveling to get Stern's blessing.
While I agree that it’s disgusting that Al and Jesse appear to had a hand in the Imus firing, I don’t think that was the real reasoning behind it.
Let’s face it. Imus is an elitist ass who thought he was untouchable. He has and does daily:
-Rubs everyone’s nose in his wealth
-Beat’s up vendors for freebies for the “Ranch”, (cars, grand pianos, trucks, home theatres, pools, pool tables.... ad nauseum) all the while professing to be willing to pay full price; ...but threatens to air bad publicity if they don’t pony up for free.
-He brings how many sick children to his ranch annually? (You would be shocked at the low number considering how much money he takes in)
- Denegrates his own employees publically and on air
-Throws tantrums hourly
- Brags how foul-mouthed his own small child is
- Will parrot any position his wife takes
- Prohibits his “Ranch” guests from TV, video games, meat because his wife thinks that’s best
- Constantly begs for money for his ranch (tax-free vacation and retirement home)
-Constantly plugs his wife’s “organic” cleaning products while in the employee of CBS
-Berates his own bosses as idiots and morons
-Brags about how he refuses to do what he’s told by his employer
-Threw food at an employee because his butter wasn’t melted enough on a muffin;...on air
-Begs his employer to fire him
-Drones on daily about his personal health and every mundane nuance of his horrific private life
-Humiliates public figures with glee
- Wears stupid clothes
- Complains about guests bringing him “Stupid, moronic, chessie gifts and berates them when they don’t bring him said gifts
It’s a train-wreck....I could go on for hours.
I listen because Bernie is funny. Rob is funny. Charles is classy. Imus gets high profile guests who want the free air time. Imus gets in the way.
Remember, this is not a one time slip. Imus was fired because he has pissed off every employee and boss he has ever been around. THEY WERE THE REASON HE WAS FIRED. This was just a convenient last straw for the already pissed off boss to can his arrogant butt. Imus found out the hard way that he wasn’t untouchable.
I love watching the usual talking heads who were daily guests now scramble to defend him while pretending to report the news. Their black arm-bands are worn under their suits.
He’s a spoiled brat who never had to learn the word NO because he was enabled for years. I’ve also learned that anyone who has to tell me how much good they’ve done, probably isn’t truly all that good. If I earned millions at the expense of other people’s dignity and humiliation, I would gladly give pennies on the dollar of my wealth to keep that wealth coming in; and pat myself on the back all the way to the bank. Just say “Children” and “ See what I’m doing for them?”, and you have an almost fail-proof scheme. All sins are absolved...and I get richer.
Bottom line: Imus used his show as a personal platform for his own self-gratification. He revelled in being a big time player and thought he was immune from the consequences most everyone else would have to face in the real world.
I say give the show to Bernard. He has propped Imus up for years.
...can you tell I really don’t have a lot of fondness for Don Imus?....he’s the rudest, most arrogant stammering nothing on Earth. Good riddance.
LOL! Great post!!!
“This might just WAKE up the silent majority!”
I’m sorry, but I truly believe that the silent majority is not asleep, it is in a coma.
Exactly. Imus rolled with these c---------s and wonders why he woke up with fleas.
This is unreal!
Goodbye IMUS. Never listened to you but you now join the ranks of Jimmy the Greek and Al Campanis in the dust bin of stupid statements history!!
Rush nailed it.
We can no longer live with the Left. I say split the country.
Just heard that what this is really all about are libs will try to censor Conservative talk hosts and reporters NEXT, after all Sharpton is a lib and look what he accomplished, getting a white guy censored and fired!
Yes, be reasonable. Some animals are more equal than others. You and I are unequal. The person you’re complaining about is “equal.”
I've been in this situation, though not in academia, and I think they are so blind that they just don't (or maybe won't) see it. The cloak of self-righteousness is wrapped too tightly.
Did you watch the first segment when the guy blamed slavery on rap music and Michelle said “so, it’s Whitey’s fault — blame Whitey” and the guy says yes and ends up blaming George Washington for Snoop Dog..... if you missed it, I highly recommend the re-run.
Come next Christmas, expect mall Santa’s getting fired for saying “ho ho ho.”
Damn, wish I could be on these shows. I could respond so harshly to a fu**ing stupid goat like Shabaz. And don’t think I give a damn about threats, I can be deadly.
