Imus is a Douche

Imus has found himself in a whole lot of trouble latley for some “racist” remarks he made on his morning show about Rutgers women’s basketball team. Those remarks earned him a two week suspension and got him a guest spot on Al Sharpton’s radio show.

I heard clips of the discussion between the two of them and it was about a comfortable as a root canal.

The only person that I heard on the clips that had any sense of a rational thought was [suprisingly] a call in from Bill Maher.

He talked about how everyone in America deserves one moment of discomfort before the world moves on. Was Imus’ comments discusting? Yes. Was it a poor attempt a humor? Yes. Was it racist? Maybe. He will have two weeks off to live in his own personal hell of what he said. He said he was sorry. Irreversable damage has been done to his image. And the world should move on. If you were offended by his remarks, you now know that you no longer have to listen to him. Turn the dial.

I in no way condone what he said. But hearing Al Sharpton berate Don Imus for an hour, as if he has never done anything wrong in the past is ridiculous. Sharpton called up a long history of comments Imus made on the air that could be taken out of contex as racist, misogynous, or even homophobic. Sharpton has done this with alot of guests that come on the show to kiss his ass. But do any of them call his past into question? Nope. But hey, we all make mistakes.

It was pretty stupid what Imus said. Steve just called me to tell me that Gary in the Morning from Stroudsburg used the infamous phrase as “the phrase that pays” and just got fired! Thats some stuff! He’s been there 17 plus years and from what I gather from the article they fired him becuase Imus was only suspended. Just thougt I’d put that little note on here.
