What's up with Don Imus being in the news again? What's happening
that we should know, but is being hidden... Last night this Imus shit was on and now again today... With Pat at the helm of the Imus bandwagon... How can anyone keep Pat around, when he's a huge racist in his own right.

1. Imus is returning to radio in December, may also land a TV gig down
the road.

2. I never cared for his brand of humor but
he did make an inflammatory statement. What I can't understand is why people like Al Sharpton jump all over Imus and give rush and the Fox Pig Sty a pass. Does anybody.

6. My personal opinion is that Don was a fall guy... Rush and et. al.
say that kind of shit every day... Don was pushed into the news, much like Britney and Paris, to cover up a bigger news story. I think Al comes to the call when he's called.

I forget what was happening back then... Probably something to do with some kind of hearings, torture, or spying... Some other lie being wiped out by Don's doom.

3. Imus has some fans here.
Apparently all that stuff with the Rutgers "girls" was just a bunch of nonsense that was blown out of proportion.

4. I think it is a distraction from the ugliness going on around Chimpy and the Rethugs lately
They want to make us outraged about Ipig, or stir what is left of their base. Better the sheeple know about Ipig coming back than the fact that Chimpy has been spying on us since February 2001. Pat simply reading the talking points with a little biggoted flair. IMHO.

7. he's tedious--however, right after he jumped on the Impeach wagon
within days he gets disappeared.

Even though he had been making offensive remarks for decades.

Huh.

Quite a coincidence.
