I cannot tell you how many people have asked me about my thoughts on Don Imus. As a student of broadcasting, I know Don Imus was one of the original “shock jocks.” I listened to him growing up in New York City in the late 60’s and early 70’s.
He is a radio icon.
That said, it is time for him to go.
I, for one, am really tired of the diatribes, the “humor” at others’ expense, the cruelty that passes for “funny”. Don Imus isn’t the only one doing this, but today he’s the one in the hot seat.
What he said was vile and disgusting. It denigrated an entire team and by extension, a community and its pride in a group that had excelled.

At last! Someone with impeccable credibility has spoken on the matter! I can’t wait until he endorses a presidential candidate!
What is detestable about Roker?
Did Al ever talk about the music that has ‘kill whitey’ ...’kill cops’...as lyrics?
Imus can go....right after you Roker!
my thoughts exactly.
Stick to the weather Al!
What’s wrong with Roker?
Al, shut your pie hole. If one of your racist rap buddies sang nappy headed hos you’d be recommended the garbage.
Frankly, I don’t care. I’m just tired of the circus, which has (unbelievably) become even bigger than Anna Nicole. (Is she still dead, I wonder?) FR is being taken over by gossip mongers.
Do you know how many celebrity scandals will happen within two weeks time?
Imus has apologized, he should now shut up and let this blow over. Then wait for Anna Nicole, Keith Richards, Jacko, McCartney, Sean Penn, etc. to capture our attention.
I met Al Rocker in Washington D.C. and would love for him to leave the airwaves.
“you’d be recommended the garbage.”
Not true at all. You don’t know Al Roker. He’s above reproach.
Roker can go too.
Why couldn’t this have been Howard Stern? How do you think Stern would have reacted?
He probably would have laughed with all the added attention he would receive. He is probably jealous. lol.
Imus has been badmouthing Bush for years. He claims Bush is “stupid”
HAHAHAHAHH!!!! Sorry, did it appear I am gloating?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I do not care what Don Imus said.
And I don’t care what Roker thinks about it.
Free speech.
I am all for free speech, but there is a line which should not be stepped over. Imus has been doing it for a very long time, and all of his do goodness doesn’t cancel out the hate and vitriol that spews out of his heart!
I’ve never heard him call for Fudgepac, or 50 cent or any other worthless rapper POS to be canned. Have you?
Amazing how the Mayor of New Orleans gets a free pass by these people when he talks about making it a “Chocolate” city again.
Unbelievable.
He’s an obnoxious creep.
I haven’t heard him advocate for those guys either...
