Hail Imus!

Glad the shriveled little gnome and his brown shirt buddy bernard are gone. Maybe instead of the pissy little junior high school name calling they will hire someone with actual satirical wit and a razor sharp sense of humor. There must be some Lenny Bruces or Mort Sahls out there plying there trade who could use a job.

The government didn't have anything to do with what went on here, the FCC wasn't involved at all, it was the market place that dictated his firing in this case, big business called the shots on his firing, and they have never been known to be liberal. He will probably go on to make millions in cyber world, having money thrown at him by good old boys who laugh the beer through their noses thinking name calling is wit, saying poo-poo is cutting edge.

Name calling is hilarious.
All humor results in somebody getting the s**t end of the stick.

Name calling is an easy out. If I was paying someone the money they paid Imus I would certainly want more than "big fat pig". He did attract some of the big names in politics, but I'm sure many would steer clear until after the election. Hypocrites that they are, they would vow never to return, then change their tunes after the returns came in.

Oh it's the easiest out (as you put it) possible, it's still funny.
I tell you my take in Imus.. and this is me being TOTALLY impartial.
Don Imus used to make fun about people.. but at the base level, it was in jest. He was rude, demeaning, abrasive and vulgar.. but 99% of it was simply to elicit a laugh.
Rush Limbaugh spreads lies about people.. and at the base level, it's serious. He's cruel, remorseless and sleazy.. and 99% of it is to further his own blimpish agenda.
