Yep, I like it when the enemy tells on itself.
Funny you say that... did you see this?

Case in point:
Imus smeared Hillary Clinton, “that buck-toothed witch, Satan,” and Gore, “the phoniest bastard on the planet”

Read this from the tenth:
In report on Imus’ “past political guests,” Costello did not address Imus’ ban on Clinton appearances

Here’s a snip:
ABC News’ Mark Halperin and The Politico’s John Harris documented the origins of the Clinton-Imus feud in their book The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008 (Random House, October 2006). Halperin and Harris wrote in a chapter titled “Bubba Does Imus (and Vice Versa)” that “[t]he Clinton-Imus bond was forged in April during the 1992 campaign” after Imus interviewed Bill Clinton on the April 2, 1992, edition of his show. They continued:
The ties were broken — pulverized, actually — on March 21, 1996, when Imus was invited to be the featured entertainer at the Radio and TV Correspondents Association dinner, one of the annual gatherings of media luminaries and political players at which presidential attendance is all but mandatory. Imus had barely begun his routine when words such as “indicted,” “subpoena,” “Go, baby,” “AstroTurf in the pickup” and “pot-smoking weasel” came spilling out of his mouth. The president and first lady, seated on the dais, were forced to maintain their composure in front of three thousand spectators and the television cameras. (Imus also slammed a number of prominent “TV scum.”) In the wake of the humiliating event, the Clintons were presented with a letter of apology from the correspondents association, and White House press secretary Mike McCurry prevailed upon C-SPAN to desist from rebroadcasting the speech as scheduled. Imus, meanwhile, was unrepentant. “Let’s not all pretend we don’t know what the deal was,” he said. “They knew what they were getting when they asked me.” [Page 97]
On the April 4 edition of MSNBC’s Imus in the Morning, Imus noted that Donald Trump recently urged him to have Sen. Clinton on his program. Imus rejected the idea, saying, “I don’t like her” and claiming that the Clintons “screwed” him 10 years ago:
IMUS: Anyway, [Donald] Trump says I — he wants me to have Hillary Clinton on —
MICHAEL GRAHAM (radio host and syndicated columnist): Right.
IMUS: — which I’m not going to do.
GRAHAM: Why not?
IMUS: Because I don’t like her. Because she and her fat, stupid husband screwed me about 10 years ago, and I’m not going to get over it. I would remind my friend Donald Trump he wouldn’t have got over it either.
GRAHAM: No, he wouldn’t have.
IMUS: He would have done the exact same thing I’ve been doing all these years.
Similarly, on the April 6 edition of Imus, NBC News Washington bureau chief Tim Russert brought up Trump’s proposal and asked, “When’s that going to happen?” Imus replied, “Never”:
RUSSERT: Now, the other news I heard today is that Donald Trump is brokering Hillary Clinton to be your guest.
IMUS: Yes.
RUSSERT: When’s that going to happen?
IMUS: Never.
RUSSERT: It will absolutely happen.
IMUS: OK. Well. I’ll bet you $1 million to go to any charity you want that she’ll never be on this program.
Personal Note: Now that we’ve established cause from MM itself, it makes it all the more disgusting that Hillary would go to Rutgers to insert herself re: Imus. I know, it’s a feminist thing... right.
Have a great day all, and if I survive the nasty things I intend to do with coconut cream (just to put a weird image in your minds) I might see you later. LOL.
Thanks for that post!
I just now finished reading it all...
Yeppers...it seems like Imus never forgot the snub after his speech at that dinner..and the Clintons never forgot that speech!
