Get ready for another "save the candidate" performance by Don Imus... For those Freepers who don't remember: it was Don Imus who gave Bill Clinton a campaign saving interview just prior to the New York primary. This interview was arranged by the Executive Producer of ABC World News Tonight (can't remember the name, but he went on to run CNN right into the ground), because he knew Imus would give him a puff-ball interview and innoculate Clinton for the New York primary electorate. Scandals were erupting: Gennifer Flowers, rumors of other affairs, Clinton's draft-dodging had just been revealed. Clinton had already been through his 60 Minute puff-ball piece, but the Whitewater reports were starting to come out (in early March in the NY Times).

So what does Imus do? Gives Clinton the softest possible interview -- lot's of kidding (Astro-turf in the bed of his pick-up truck?), etc. Clinton is innoculated, wins the NY primary, all the scandals are set-aside. And Clinton goes on to victory.

Count on Imus to do ALL HE POSSIBLY CAN to save John F'in Kerry.

Continuing... Rick Kaplan -- that's who arranged it... That "non-partisan" middle-of-the-road newsman. Can't remember if he was on the payroll of the communist party or the Democrats.

I wouldn't be so quick to shoot the messenger. See my post 49. If f'n Kerry keeps his appointment with the I-Man it should be a pretty good show. Imus is like a lot of us, imo, he just wants controversy.

Release The Hounds, you have a great memory and you are absolutely on target. JFKerry may survive this in the same fashion Clinton survived Flowers; however, Theresa (pronounce that THUUREZZA)is unlikely be to so kind.

Please don't tell me I have to watch Imus in the morning. I leave the room & freep, so Mr. Ditter can turn him on. I don't know what anyone sees in that foul tempered slime ball.

I have listened to Imus from time to time, and I agree he gives wimp-ass interviews -- NEVER covers controversial issues exxept in a corny, try-to-be-humorous fashion. This is unfortunate, because he has some great guests on his show -- (which is probably why..). Anyway, is this moron (and that vacuous deviant Stern) all that passes for talk radio in New York? If so, it's no surprise the Liberal infestation has reached critical mass there.
