Imus is gone

[Jazzmoose]

Wow.

[Aggie87]

Perhaps his "well there you go, now we know" is more of a slap at law enforcement relative to skin color.

I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt that. If that's the case, there are plenty of other ways to make that argument. His response "There you go, now we know" isn't substantial enough to consider it to be referring to law enforcement, IMO. If he had intended to make some sweeping statement about blacks & law enforcement, he knows he would have had to clarify that statement on the spot, to not leave any doubt. That he didn't speaks volumes.

Maybe - MAYBE - if he hadn't made previous racist remarks, your argument might have a tiny bit of merit.

Good point.

Just a hunch, but I also think people are looking for another way to hang him.

Not that he doesn't deserve it...Imus is an idiot.

Emus are smarter than Imus and much funnier. Wasn't Saint Tim Russert an Imus regular? Too bad they didn't go out together, This Great Nation Of Ours would immediately be a slightly less asinine place. Credit is due Imus for at least being too awkward to cover up what a jerk he is, while dead establishment icon (and fake "everyman" scumbag, believe it) Tim Russert was slick enough to backslap his way to idiot deification. I spent six of the worst months of my life as a "cub" reporter in Buffalo and am delighted to say I'll be dead before I ever have cause to return. But hey, Imus and Russert love(s) sports, like all Great Americans. Emus, to their eternal credit, don't give a crap.

well, I wrote the advice column for the Wilkes Barre Journal American for 4 years and I thought everyone was equal regardless of race, creed, color, religion, and pinky size. Imus is a dumb-schmuck and needs to go -

[RDK]

So he's paid big bucks to say shocking things and then people get upset when he says things that shock them.

And so it goes.

Jerry Springer does the same thing, but nobody seems to give shit about how his show runs people down.

Uncle 7/4 now sees that Imus says new race remark misunderstood. How on earth could this have happened???

Well, that's really not a fair comparison. Emus have better material.

That's because no one who watches Jerry Springer can write.

This quote from "the artist formerly known as Pacman Jones"...

"I'm truly upset about the comments," Jones said. "Obviously Mr. Imus has problems with African-Americans. I'm upset, and I hope the station he works for handles it accordingly. I will pray for him."

This coming from a guy who keeps getting arrested for "making it rain" at strip clubs. Pray on.

They are both morons in my opinion.
