[an amused spectator]

Media Matters for America is headed by David Brock (who while he was a conservative penster wrote The Seduction of Hillary Clinton, a somewhat sympathetic biography of Her Heinous).

Brock, who started out the impeachment wars as a conservative hitman working for the likes of The American Spectator, was later turned to the Dark Side by Clinton apologist ol' Dead Eyes.

So, like Tinker to Evers to Chance (Hillary to Brock to Sharpton), Dom Imus was out of there!.

It gets stranger. Apparently, Timmy the Potato and The Trump were both begging Imus to have the Queen of Hearts on his show, and he refused Trump the morning before the Media Matters blastfax, calling Hitlery "Satan" for the last time...

Who is "ol' Dead Eyes"? And "Timmy the Potato"? (Russert?).

There may be some byplay involving Beastwoman, but I'd have to see more to believe it. I mean, why bother to neutralize Imus?

If he goes satellite, Imus could be more powerful than ever -- no rules, baby. And he'd bulk up satellite, too. Which cuts into a favorite Democratic demo, the upscale "early-adopter" information-worker types. Who, by the way, donate.

But it is an interesting question. Why Imus, why now?
