Imus Calls Couric a Rodent, Letterman a Creep, and Rather Crazy (Also revisits Rutgers controversy)

I never really got why people like Imus. He mumbles alot and one can barely make out what he’s saying. I think he’s “a dope”. His hiring does not make me run to the phone to get a cable digital upgrade so I can see Fox Business Channel.

[PaleoBob]

The idiot Imus spoke about Sarah Palin—??? Whenever anyone does that I find myself wondering, “Is it 2012 yet?”

[VRWC For Truth]

But she's a dope

Imus is the dope. Palin has more executive experience than Odumbo or Shillary.

[Clara Lou]

I’ve gotta say— Couric as a rodent IS funny. LOL!

[PetroniusMaximus]

wadda blowhard

[Sarah Barracuda]

Imus is an idiot. I am really surprised that Fox even hired him, of all the people on the planet they could have hired, they chose him.

[NurdlyPeon]

Well you know I really do care what Imus has to say about ANY subject.

[Windflier]

I’ve never “gotten” this Imus character. I mean, I don’t get the point of his whole existence. What the heck is he about? His schtick doesn’t stick for me.

He was on some radio station out in LA when I lived there. I was just getting into talk radio, and listened to him on occasion, but my head always felt like cotton candy afterwards. Sticky. What the hell did he just say for a whole hour? Beats me.

He seems to hate everyone, and doesn’t have an intelligent point to make about anyone, or anything.

And, he’s calling Sarah Palin a “dope”? F**k’s sake! This weirdo must have had that cowboy hat pulled down over his eyes and ears over the last year, if he thinks Sarah Palin is a “dope”.

[freekitty]

I think he is too. He runs a good camp I hear for cancer stricken children; but he to me is just like sandpaper.

[Smokin' Joe]

Imus called CBS "Evening News" anchor Couric "a little rodent," the "Late Show's" Letterman an "angry, mean-spirited jerk," and former "Evening News" anchor Rather "crazy." The outspoken shock jock also said the thought of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin becoming the Republican nominee for president is "horrifying" because "she's a dope."

Well, he's batting .750--better than most on TV.

Imus is both an idiot and a jerk. I have no use for him, and I will not be watching his new show.

[Snapping Turtle]

“Instead of liking Imus more I like fox less.”

I e-mailed FOX right after the interview inquiring why on earth they would want Imus on FBN? Imus offers me nothing of value — only a waste of my time and patience.

[JaguarXKE]

Instead of liking Imus more I like fox less.

Ditto

[monkeypants]

I want to like Imus, but... his attack on Palin...

Grrrr - I have nothing nice to say so I’ll defer.

(Imus is a funny, generous asswipe...oops)

[Pelham]

See? He said you couldn’t read...

[Pelham]

I mostly find him amusing. People who take Imus seriously are wound too tight.

Give him 15 minutes for what. He can put together a coherent sentence or thought and he lies!

I'm not Sean Hannity, making value judgments about -- or intelligent judgments about these people. That is not my job.

Got that? Then he goes on to do the same thing he accuses Sean of 'even though it's not his job'.

IMUS: I -- she's a very nice lady, I'm sure. But she's a dope.
CAVUTO: Why do you say she is a dope?
IMUS: She just --
CAVUTO: She is coming out with a book.
IMUS: She can't read a book.
CAVUTO: Now that is not right. That is not right.
IMUS: I'm sure she is.

"Sure she is' what, Imus? What is it, you can't read or answer a question properly?

I wish for him what he wishes for Sarah. Also, may he be the next one to reap what he sows, like Letterman.

Give the guy 15 minutes of your time without tossing him to the wolves. I truly think he’s got a good heart. He may lean a bit more to the center than most of us on FR... but Fox is giving him time... maybe he can help us teach the left to come a bit more to the center.

He already tossed himself to the wolves - he doesn't need any help. I already spent too much time ONLY to point out he is a hypocrite. Big deal Fox is giving him time! What does that mean? They give gerry rivers time, also. He can help 'US' teach the left? LOL! Is that the best you got? With your mindset, I see why you are pumping him.

[presently no screen name]

GOOD FOR YOU!!

[GVnana]

The only thing I really like about Imus is his taste in music.

[presently no screen name]

What the heck is he about?

Many years ago, I heard him on the radio and felt the same - what is he saying? Nothing! All rambling, nothing of substance. I guess one would have to be of that ilk to listen (to nothing).
