[CatWoman]

1. I have seen and heard her before, very smart and funny. She would

be an asset to any show. Glad she's aboard..

3. Well, this seems to be a good thing

I like especially that she's from Dallas :thumbsup: Imus still has a long way to go for me, but I can't see the harm in this. I guess if Imus were leaving minorities off his show, we'd be asking "why doesn't he have minorities on his show?" So, for Imus anyway, it's probably a win-win.

However, like I said earlier, I'm not sold on the man. I'm still pissed about his comments on the African American women basketball players, and I have not been impressed with his ugly comments on other matters and certain individuals, either.

4. Is she his minder?

The guy needs an occasional dope slap to keep him in line.
