I am glad he got canned because of all the sorry stuff he has say about Republicans over the years.

Good riddance.

I would be very careful about going after Bernie since he’s a pretty tough Irish street fighter. Anybody see him mop the floor with ol’ Sid a couple of years back?

“Clinton will have corn rows and gold teeth before her fight with Barack Obama is over,” said McGuirk.

Probably a true statement.

[RedStateRocker]

Where was I?
Not listening.
Imus is a no class loser. “freedom of the press” is limited to those who own one - since he doesn’t own the radio station the poor little whiner has to either please his bosses or lose his job; just like me. *I* can’t say stupid crap like that at work without getting fired, I don’t see why he’s so special.
Just a punk with a microphone.

I believe Mike Barnicle has been fired from previous jobs for lying and plagerism. Sounds like a perfect media icon. No wonder he was their first choice.

“Clinton will have corn rows and gold teeth before her fight with Barack Obama is over,” said McGuirk.”

Truer words have yet to be spoken...

[Dahoser]

In past broadcasts, McGuirk has done abusive imitations of African American poet Maya Angelou, and accused Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of trying to sound black in front of a black audience. “Clinton will have corn rows and gold teeth before her fight with Barack Obama is over,” said McGuirk.

As if Maya Angelou is the only imitation Bernie has ever done. And it's not much of an accusation to accuse Her Heinous of doing what she did down in Atlanta.

That's the problem with Imus not telling everyone to go to hell and only deal with the team. He opened the door to this kind of distortion that makes his show out to be one huge anti-black fest. Far from it. The list of people who were skewered crosses every racial, ethnic and gender boundary.

The only black person who bashes other blacks for their retention of low-character traits and ghetto language is Bill Cosby.

[FixitGuy]

Did anybody notice that Imus did his "shtick" in accent.

It sounded as if he were parodying a young Black man speaking about Black women.

No less offensive than a Black man doing it.

I'm not sorry he's off the air, though. He sounded smug and arrogant in almost everything he said.

Mike Barnicle is a far-left liberal, who lost his job at the Boston Globe due to charges of plagiarism.

Anus, from Anus in the Morning has been deserving something like this for a very long time.

Next to go, Michael Wiener, aka, Savage.

HIV is the leading cause of death in the black population.

I call bullshit.

[dfwgator]

he can always go to satellite radio...where FCC regulations and other rules of civility and good taste do not exist.

Yet.

[onevoter]

Fact is that Imus was about the only person on MSNBC with any kind of a following. MSNBC might just as well close it down now and who will miss them? (If a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, who cares!)

[HEY4QDEMS]

Imus wasn’t very good, Mike Barnicle simply sucks.

I’m so glad I bought a CD player for my truck.

Lets see, Barnicle or Def Leppard??........Gunter Glieben Glauchen Globin hehehehehehe!!!

[TXBubba]

One of the ironies of this whole mess is that the Rutgers women’s basketball players have invited Imus to meet with them to discuss the ill treatment they received at his hands. Not a single player, nor the coach, Vivian Stringer, have called for Imus to be fired or to resign. They feel that if Imus meets each player, he will soon learn how blameless the players are, and how not a single one of them was deserving of his derision.

You know this is really the insane part. I can't believe anyone who heard this actually thought he was literally speaking about these actual girls. He used them as part of his "joke" but there is no way he was literally referring to anyone of them in a personal sense.

[Shazolene]

“The womens basketball team at Rutgers will always have as asterisk next to their name, denoting a negatory footnote to their identity.”

That is just BS. Nobody will remember this 6 months from now... they might remember that somebody said something ‘racist’ about somebody else, but which university? which team? nah.

It will make no difference to their lives. Hopefully if they are good kids as this article says, they won’t let it bother them. After all, SOME people call others ‘racist’ all the time - just don’t take it personally, since you know it isn’t true!

[Valin]

I swear if I hear or see one more story about Don Imus I will be sorely tempted to grab a rifle and head for the nearest tall building
