DON IMUS TO RETURN TO AIRWAVES IN DECEMBER: REPORT

Post Staff Report

October 15, 2007 -- Don Imus will return to radio airwaves Dec. 3, six months after the shock jock shocked America when he muttered a racial slur during his CBS radio show, Drudgereport.com reported.

Click for Drudge's report.

The "Imus in the Morning" show will air on WABC in New York City, sources told the Web site. Matt Drudge, who runs drudgereport.com, also has a radio show on the Citadel-owned radio station.

Recently Citadel Broadcasting CEO Farid Suleman defended the shock jock.

"He didn't break the law," Suleman told The New York Times. "He's more than paid the price for what he did."

A source told drudgereport.com, "We'll have him on a standard 40-second delay. Don is rested, humbled, and ready for war!"

This movie (by wingnut tool Elia KAZAN) features with Andy GRIFFITH as a sL-IMUS type sleezeball, whose career is busted by an on-air exposure of his cynicism and despicable character.

Lonesome Rhodes: Listen, I'm not through yet. You know what's gonna to happen to me?

Mel Miller: Suppose I tell you exactly what's gonna happen to you. You're gonna be back in television. Only it won't be quite the same as it was before. There'll be a reasonable cooling-off period and then somebody will say: "Why don't we try him again in a inexpensive format. People's memories aren't too long." And you know, in a way, he'll be right. Some of the people will forget, and some of them won't. Oh, you'll have a show. Maybe not the best hour or, you know, top 10. Maybe not even in the top 35. But you'll have a show. It just won't be quite the same as it was before. Then a couple of new fellas will come along. And pretty soon, a lot of your fans will be flocking around them. And then one day, somebody'll ask: "Whatever happened to, a, whatshisname? You know, the one who was so big. The number-one fella a couple of years ago. He was famous. How can we forget a name like that? Oh by the way, have you seen, a, Barry Mills? I think he's the greatest thing since Will Rogers."

(Mel turns and starts to leave. Then, he turns back towards Lonesome)

Mel Miller: Beanie!

(Beanie, who is manning the automatic appalause machine, instinctively pulls the switch, unleashing a massive abundance of cheers. The machanical jubilation continues as Mel joins Marcia in the waiting elevator, leaving Lonesome alone in the empty penthouse with his broken dreams)

1. Gawd, who cares about this ratingless old windbag.

I don't.

2. He might be on local radio in NY

but I'm guessing he will not be syndicsted and he'll never be back on TV where you actually have to look at his pruny face.

He's toast - he's yesterday's news and he won't have even as much of an impact as he did before.

I'm convinced the nappy headed ho's controversy was stoked by the networks lookin for an excuse to dump him due to really crappy ratings. He was near the bottom of the morning drive time ratings in the NY market.

3. Good!!1 What about his clueless elitist guests? Will they follow him? n/t

4. I don't know but they'll be like a tree falling in the forest

if you can't hear them, are they really there?

they'll soon get tired of going on a show that nobody listens to.
