News No End to the Imus Carnage

Posted by on April 12 at 20:29 PM

The governor of New Jersey injured in a car crash—rushed to hospital with a broken leg, broken ribs, cuts, chest pain. And where was he going?

Mr. Corzine was on his way to Drumthwacket, the governor’s mansion in Princeton, for a meeting between the Rutgers women’s basketball team and Don Imus, the talk-show host who was fired on Thursday for making a racist and sexist remark about the players.

Dan! Why aren't you at the Gong Show??

That sucks, Corzine seems like a good guy...or at least as good as an ex-Goldman Sachs executive who buys his political offices can be.


But here's best part of the article:


"By 7:45 p.m., the Rutgers team, which made it to the N.C.A.A. championship game but lost to Tennessee, arrived at the governor’s mansion on a chartered bus. Mr. Imus had arrived earlier by limousine...They spent three hours in Drumthwacket’s library, departing shortly before 11 p.m., without commenting on their meeting."


Can you say, AWK-WARRRD!

Hey, this is an historic occasion---this may very well be the very first time a Rutgers basketball or football player has been in a library. Someone make up a plaque.

I signed an online petittion to have Imus fired and I am proud that it had an impact. Imus is not a good person.
Being a racist and being a good person are mutually exclusive.

Hey bigot: racists are living proof that the nazis once fucked snakes"

If Imus deserved to be fired, it was because he was tasteless, annoying and not good at his job. But for all this uproar over one stupid comment... Jesus Christ. #4, you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.

Would anyone have objected if he had just called them "hos"? Would that have been any worse? Are we allowed to make off-color jokes about Mexicans? Homos? The goddamn Chinese? Are we allowed to even point it out? Do you get to do it if you're white? Not white? Is our society so fragile that the whole country needs to spring into action against one jerk on the airwaves? I dislike this whole thing on all levels, except the level which gets Imus off the air.

I'm not saying this is Fahrenheit 451 level censorship or anything, but it reminds me of the Cop Killa controversy all over again. So you don't like what's being said. Woohoo. Then don't listen. Or express your disagreement. But I refuse to believe that Don Imus saying "nappy-headed hos" is a threat to society in this day and age.

@5 - Yeah.

@5 - What he said.

Also, apparently it's OK to be sexist and intolerant as long as you're not racist.

The media is a better place with out him. Now can we work on booting Nancy Grace?

Disclaimer: I F-ng hate Imus. He sucks at radio and is in general retarded. I agree with MBI that he should be fired for sucking and having no ratings...

But, he wasn't fired because he said NHHs. He was fired because 1) he's is a racist and no radio sponser in their right mind would advertise during a racist's broadcast. He has always been a racist; the only dif now is he let it slip. 2) he tried to weasle his way out of it instead of just saying, "F everyone if they can't take a joke." All week he was on Al Sharpton's show and the Today show, feeding into the fury. People make this mistake all the time; they don't see that going on Al sharpton's show is a no-win. It wasn't long before Imus was saying "you people; giving new life to the controversy...

This was just the latest racist thing Imus said in the past 30 years. It is sad it has taken this long to get him off the air.

And I agree about Nancy Grace. She is the vilest person on TV. She has often been wrong and when the person she accused of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart died of a heart attack while he was being investigated, she never said she was sorry when it was proven he was innocent. And yesterday, after the Duke lacrosse players were vindicated, she took the night off.

Ummmm.... Drumthwacket?

Imus Dumped by CBS; They fired the shit heard around the world!

Imus should have put it to Hip hop he would of been better off. Look at eminem. He's doin fine. and so is Ice cube. he's makeing cute movies with kids . what a great guy.
And i hope no one is offended when i bump this rap. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. And censhorship and langueage debate is for hypocrites. From Ice cubes sleepin with the enemy. Oh and white girls were called Cave bitches on that album. Any apology there? Nope. So bend over and take it cause the Black man and women is gonna rise up and shove hundreds of years of oppression down your throat. Wasn't that the revolutionary cry of this style rap.

sleepin with the enemy.

Oh and I like Cube and this style of rap was huge for a reason. You can change Imus. but you can't change this ever. Its in everyones blood to be pissed off and say stupid things when they are upset. Deligating it certain colors of people though can be a mistake. Little johnny and mry love the beat and what did that rapper say. Oh thats coooool. He made a nice mvie to. He's a hero. Imus is zero and a devil cave bitch.
