Did you see Gwen Ifill's Op-Ed in the Times today?

The "cleaning lady" assigned to cover the White House, that
Gwen Ifill ? ;-)

I asked my wife this morning, "Who in the hell is Don Imus ?".
I've never heard his show and I'd never heard of him. Some
think this is all a publicity stunt on the eve of his wife's
book release. Stranger things have happened.

He must have had ( has ) on of the largest collections of pictures of
people having intercourse with goats in the world. He interviewed a
lot of famous people on his show. He was pretty good at interviewing
them as well. He interviewed a lot of authors and was better than
Ophra at boosting their sales. If Mike could write his book on fly
fishin and get interviewed on Imus it would be on the New York times
best seller list in a couple of days.
I use to listen to him on the moring drive. He interviewed
interesting people and the song parodies were terriific. The only one
I can remeber at the moment was "Secret Asian Man" from the Dems were
getting money from the Budists. If the song parodies came out on a CD
I'de buy it.

And how many feature you, either pitching or catching?

Now I have to wipe the Budweiser spew off the computer screen. ;-)

What in the *hell* was Imus thinking anyway ?

What the hell is everyone else thinking? What's next - folks shocked at
Howard Stern saying "tits?" It's the Don-****in-Imus Show, not "Five
Minutes of All Warm and Fuzzy" on "All Things Considered"...

If a person doesn't wanna hear Don Imus say "controversial" stuff, maybe
listening to Don Imus' show ain't the thing they ought to be doing...

And what the hell was he doing apologizing (to anyone besides the girls
themselves)? He shoulda told Al Sharpton something along the lines of
suggesting he put his de-nappied head back up his ass.

Richard, his comment wasn't "controversial" at all, it was a
despicable cheap shot aimed at a group of college kids. The
man has a public platform with which to speak his mind, along
with that comes a certain responsibility.

Um, then what was the whole series of comments, the Lady Vols being
"cute" and "a nice-looking group of girls?" And before anyone gets all
"racial," the Tennessee and Rutgers team have the same racial makeup.
Google up who said what and I think you'll find that Imus' comment_S_
weren't as "racist" as some might wish it to make it, and if 50-Cent or
Poof Dribbler or your favorite gangsta rapper had said it, Sharpton, et
al, would have never opened their cakeholes.

TC,
R
And no, I didn't hear the original broadcast, but I did a little
research to see who said what.

In fact, Sharpton has been an outspoken and avid fighter against the poor
portrayal of black women in the hip hop community.

You guys are so cute. This guy is laughing his way to the bank. No
one
had ever heard of him before. Now in two weeks his ratings will be
through the roof...and if rumors of his wife's pending book release
is
true doubly-so.

His ratings boost will be short lived. Check out his MSNBC show. It's
actually painful to watch. I'd rather watch the same Larry King interview
a half dozen times in a row than watch Imus for ten minutes.

Yeah, he has already signed the WNBA as a sponsor, and the makers of
Head-On are introducing their new "Nap-Off" on his show...Sharpton is
gonna be the spokesman - "Nap-Off, Nap-Off, Nap-Off - I hate your
commercials, but your product is AMAZING!!!"

Oh, THIS ain't gonna help,
