A few times I almost drove off the road from LMAO listening to him. One time while playing a clip of Charles Rangell babbling in that raspy voice of his, Imus cut it off his “bomb button”, cut it off and said “go smoke another pack of Camels you pantload!” Sadly he just didn’t sound the same since he had his lung removed. RIP
Imus had to cancel his bomb button after 9-11.
His funniest era, maybe even golden age, was the mid to late 1990’s when he roasted the Clintons, one time in their presence.
“That’s Why the First Lady is a Tramp” is a classic.
Imus really went to town during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He was mightily helped by Rob Bartlett & the Bartlettes. Their “I Got You Babe” was a real hoot.
But sooner or later, it’s time to turn out the lights ‘cause the party’s over. Ride off into the sunset, I-Man.
