Do you think Rosie is scared yet?

I seriously doubt it. After all, she's part of the "protected class" of the downtrodden that can do or say anything they dam well please with no fear of retribution.

Sorry for the almost profanity, but I'm quite upset that we have just been told that the 1st Amendment no longer applies to white heterosexual males.

I doubt it too, to them trashing Bush is a good thing, but when you insult a black...WELL...

Sorry for the almost profanity, but I'm quite upset that we have just been told that the 1st Amendment no longer applies to white heterosexual males.

The First Amendment doesn't say "Imus shall be entitled to keep a radio job, even if he says something stupid and offensive to some, and his advertisers forsake him". It only says "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech". Congress hasn't made any law banning Imus from the radio. Imus' employers determined it would cost them more to keep him than get rid of him.

CBS and GE and entitled to fire Imus - or not. While I'm not a fan of the two race-baiting poverty pimps, I can't get too worked up about Imus getting fired.
