MSNBC personality & WFAN talk radio host Don Imus of Imus In The Morning is nothing but a hypocrite & a has been, as well as being a phony. He actually claimed that his show was unpredictable, when that's about as ludicrous as you can get, since he's so predictable & so mainstream, it's sick. He also claims to be a registered Republican, but criticizes Bush & Republicans mostly, along with constantly whining about the Iraq war
From democratic underground: "As repulsive as it may sound to liberal or progressive people familiar with the political attitude of Don Imus, he may have been partially correct with his assessment of our election choices last year. Imus, who hosts a popular radio show on WFAN radio as well as the simulcast on MSNBC cable, has been known for many years as a closet conservative. His often-nightly on-air love affair with John McCain during the primaries last year was difficult for some Democrats to sit through to say the least. He would call McCain, or vice-versa, and exchange right wing, anti-Clinton opinions, pausing only to play his homemade song parodies, skewering Clinton and Gore at will. In addition his often heard rant against Al Gore seemed disingenuous and deliberately vague. He would call Gore an evil person, a skunk, and other phrases that seem tailor-made both for morning radio, and for old, scruffy cowboy wannabe's like Imus, and yet he offered no concrete facts to back up his ire. It almost seemed that he was trying to appear hip to his staff, which were backing McCain. link
From spiritus-temporis.com/don-imus/1988: In 2000, Imus was a George W. Bush supporter; however, after the Iraq War, Imus became more critical of Bush and supported John Kerry in 2004.
Still searching to find his admission that he was a republican.
It makes no sense.
It sounds more like people are trying to say he's a Republican because, of course, only Republicans are racists.
Just my take on it.
