Bo just mentioned that Imus diverted his plane the other day to pick up a child with cancer so he could get treatment. The child happned to be black. Doesn't sound to me like Imus was a racist.

He said something idiotic, he was apologizing to the young women on the team, it should have been up to THEM if he was forgiven or not.

Yes, Imus has been very good regarding children cancer victims. He goes to all the funerals of the poor kids from the Ranch who die over the course of the year.

And, for the record, Imus attacks everyone: Jews, blacks, Irish, Italians, secretaries, presidents, you name it. It’s called HIS ACT. If people didn’t like it, they should have put on Fox & Friends or Today. This is sickening.

“Bo just mentioned that Imus diverted his plane the other day to pick up a child with cancer so he could get treatment. The child happned to be black. Doesn’t sound to me like Imus was a racist.”

Taken out of context that sounds like an act of generosity, and if Bo had not been saying it all over the airwaves, it could have been. First, Bo Deitl is a fool of the first order who was made famous by Imus, and consequentally, rich. His sponsor on his frequent appearances on the Imus show were sponsored by Net Jet, a service both he and Don Imus used and often boasted about.

I’m not an Imus hater, and have enjoyed his show, during periods when I was not annoyed by it, for many years. Actually, most of his shows included annoying and entertaining moments. I guess that was his gift.

A glaring irony is the fact that just a couple of weeks ago he gleefully joined in the cry for firings of everyone associated with Walter Reed Hospital, and several of them were fired.
