Good. He kinda had it coming. Next, those women basketballers should really show him what "nappy headed hoes" (whatever the fuck that means) can get by kicking the bajeezas into his ugly ass.

Oh and by the way, CBS and MSNBC fired him because they felt the pressure to, not because they felt he'd done the wrong thing.

 

Kid Rasta -

Off subject:

email me at dj4monie@hotmail.com I wanted to talk to you for a second

On subject:

Imus shouldn't have been fired, he should have been allowed to stay and get ridiculed for his comments. He'll be back anyway, how long do a jock like him stay out of work? You know as well I as I do, he could always find a home on XM or Sirius and don't think they won't go after him, afterall its membership fees that drive those networks, not Clear Channel or CBS's ties to Madison Ave.

There's nothing to get excited over.

 

If Kid does e-mail you that would be a first.

 

I heard his office staff is jumping for joy. He must have been a beast to work for. This is priceless.

SCHOOLYARD THUG
By ZEV CHAFETS

April 12, 2007 -- IT'S been a rotten week for Don Imus. On Mon day, he was suspended from his radio show. On Tuesday, Proctor and Gamble and Staples announced they'd stop sponsoring his his show. Yesterday, General Motors and American Express joined the boycott, Sen. Barack Obama called for him to be fired - and then he got canned by MSNBC. And it's only Thursday.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving victim - and we all owe the Rev. Al Sharpton some thanks.

I know Don Imus - and so do you. Everybody went to school with him.

There's an Imus in every class - a weird, nasty kid with a smart mouth and an instinct for the emotional jugular. If you stutter, he can imitate it. Wear a new suit to the dance, and he'll make sure everyone knows your mom bought it on sale at JC Penney. :lol:

Got bad skin? Walk with a limp? Afraid of heights? Imus has a nickname just for you.

Just like he had for the members of the Rutgers women's basketball team.

The playground Imus always has a sidekick, a big dummy who laughs at his insults and watches his back. The radio Imus has Bernard McGuirk, an on-air "producer." Usually, his job is to repeat whatever Imus says, but last week he ventured a thought of his own: "That's some rough girls from Rutgers," he said. "Man, they got tattoos."

In the world of Don Imus, Don Imus gets the last word. "That's some nappy-headed ho's there," he said.

Of course, Imus has made a career of ugly slurs. But this one rubbed Al Sharpton the wrong way, and he raised a mighty howl for Imus' head.

Sharpton-haters dismissed this as just another publicity stunt. I have a hunch, though, that this time the outrage was real: Sharpton has daughters about the same age as the Rutgers players.

Certainly, when he agreed to appear on the Rev's radio show, Imus must have figured that Sharpton would let him off the hook - one celebrity agitator to another.

Instead, it probably marked the end of his network career.

Imus started off with an apology and an explanation that he was guilty of nothing more than trying to be funny.

"Do you think it's funny to call people nappy-headed hos?" Sharpton replied.

"No, I don't," Imus said in his best Eddie Haskell voice.

This was the cue for the Rev. Al to voice grudging appreciation for Imus' contrition and ability to grow. But Sharpton came up on a different playground: "Did you think it was funny on Wednesday?" he demanded.

What followed was one of the worst beatdowns in media memory. Imus tried everything. He called Sharpton - almost 15 years his junior - "sir." When that didn't work, he grew indignant.

Several times he mentioned how much he has done for people of color. Finally, he was reduced to whining that he couldn't get anywhere with "you people."

It was painful to watch, like the Ali-Quarry fight.

At one point, Imus said that he hadn't come to the interview to be humiliated. But Sharpton didn't just humiliate him, he exposed him: "You talk like a tough guy over at the other station," he told Imus with contempt.

Now that Imus has been both suspended by his bosses at NBC and CBS and declared toxic by corporate America, chances are that the networks will drop him. His posse of Washington sycophants, once they are sure he no longer has the power to help them or hurt them, will ditch him, too.

In a Hail Mary, Imus asked to meet with the Rutgers basketball team. Evidently he hopes to find "ho's" with a heart of gold.

The young women have graciously agreed to a sitdown. But Imus is kidding himself if he thinks he can sweet-talk his way out of this by manipulating some college girls.

They may want to forgive him, but their parents won't. Al Sharpton will see to that.

Seeing that I have known the brotha for awhile now, would that be a first?

He's PM'ed me before on other forums, its nothing new.

 

Hope he does. He has a lot of great info n hookups.

 

Am i the only one that thinks theres more to this story? I dont think he got canned merely for doing what the media says he did. Theres way more we dont know about.....maybe he was on the verge of devulging pivotal data that would have exposed the falacies within the US government.

 

Interesting Jay, why do you think that?
