Don Imus got into an animated discussion this morning about former President Bill Clinton's comparison of Obama's South Carolina primary victory over Senator Clinton to Jesse Jackson. ''If I had made that comparison to Jesse Jackson,'' I have a feeling that I'd be talking to Al Sharpton again,'' Imus told Michael Graham of Boston's WTKK.

Imus says he has been clean for several years. Or is there something you can share to the contrary?

I agree.

Sharpton defines racism by his own actions. Why anyone pays any attention to him is beyond me. He is a despicable human being.

Anyone who talks to Sharpton is a moron, which is one of the reasons I quit listening to Sean Hannity.

Imus showed everyone who stupid he was by kissing Sharpton's White Guilt ring.

It seems as though Al Sharpton, extortionist extrodinaire is now the annointed one, where all(white folk) who have sinned against the African American will now have to kiss his ring and ask for forgiveness. What a sick and getting sicker society.

The apparently approving reference to Jesse Jackson was to emphasize Hussein’s blackness and connect it with the country’s 2nd most obnoxious black celebrity. Hey white folks! do you really want one of them as president?

What’s your point? We all know it’s okay for one black to say something about another black.

THIS JUST IN!!!!

Despite claims to the contrary and biased media opinion, Bill Clinton is STILL a pasty, fata$$ white guy with a bulbous red nose from Hope, Arkansas.

END NEWS BULLETIN

Imus is right.

He's also a boot licking limousine liberal which is why he licked Sharpton's boots.

Imus, you should have told Al that “my show does parody and the parody of the day was on the gangster rappers not the girls basketball team and get the hell out of here”.

Bill and Hillary get away with their racism, just like the NOW gang let Kennedy off the hook for Mary Jo - amazing hypocrites.
