BG: Because he’s friends with Dan Rather and he’s friends with Bob Schiefer and he has these other people on.
BG is like so many others who have not figured out that Don Imus is a provocateur and just loves a good fight. People come on his show and make THEIR point(s), and I don't believe the I-Man could give a rat's a** what position they take. He has people around him like Bernard McGuirk to help him stir the pot, and straight people like Charles McCord to keep him in line. A Limbaugh or O'Reilly or Matthews he's not.
One other thing: I'm starting to lose a little respect for Bernard Goldberg, and those who interview him, for not bringing up the subject of Brian Gumbel and his relationship with him.
