Proof positive that Rice is a big government totalitarian. What a surprise.

I disagree, Imus was particularly nasty, really mean on her. I think he called her evey name there is but ‘nappy haired ho’. After years of it I am sure she got very tired of him. I am going to give her a ‘bye’ on this one.

Never trust a woman who looks like a Klingon, which Condi does look like.

Government had nothing to do with Imus getting fired. Private enterprise fired him after they determined that his continued presence was a liability.

What? Where did she advocate government intevention? Imus suffered the private consequences of his actions - his employers fired him because their advertisers didn't want to be associated with speech that offended a large portion of their market.

Imus is suffering nothing more than the consequences of his actions. Cry me a freakin' river.

I don’t understand that comment. No governmental entity fired Imus. His private employers did, which is their right (and probably smart, given the abandonment of Imus by the show’s sponsors). Rice is a governmental employee, but she is also a citizen, and has the right to express hereself also. If SHE were fired for her comments, THAT would be governmental action contrary to her rights.

Very sad and disappointing to me that a U.S.Secretary of State would make such a statement.

I must have missed something - was Imus run out of town on a rail by government?

Rice is not a totalitarian. Imus used to insult her on the air in personal ways, and she probably was offended...
