Wow! CNN just showed Imus having a meltdown a few minutes ago.
Did anyone see that? He was hollering about all the people he'd helped get ahead and how they hadn't stepped forward now. I missed the first part of it. Tell me how it started if you saw it.

4. Tom Bernard of the KQRS morning show used to talk of responsibility for what one says...
'course, the same worm supports Imus...

What happens next is clear: Do unto rap artists and the degenerate music labels that say and condone the words what was done to Imus. Bill O'Reilly shouldn't mind either; he's hosted specials on FNC about how sleazy America has become. (anyone recall that hour long special, his rank against 'Insane Klown Posse', and so on where he was pointing fingers at everybody... except the labels that hire the goons, which seems odd?)

5. "me, me, me, me!!!"

What a egomaniac....you could tell just by listening to him that he thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I hope he does insult all the people who looked the other way....that way, he won't be able to make a come back as a social-commentary pundit.

Update: It was a SNL skit? Rats. It still sounds like something he would say.

6. Imus seems to believe that Harold Ford was obligated to defend him.
Imus is an ugly dude.

I'm betting he's back on over the airwaves radio soon.

7. I guess the thing is
that Imus came out in support of Ford and got death threats because of it, that's why he feels owed.

11. Of course Imus never considered this
That maybe Ford was appalled by his comments and thought that he shoud be fired. In that case Ford WAS doing him a favor by not saying so publicly.

9. TV magazine (Portland newspaper's guide) has a BIG BLANK SPACE on the pages...
Edited on Sun Apr-15-07 07:10 PM by Radio_Lady
of weekdays between 2:30 AM and 6:00 AM -- where Imus used to be.

Has MSNBC announced what they will air during that time?
