Has anyone considered the Imus’ employees who lost their jobs?

alikilee asked: I’m not talking about the producer Bernard. He was worse than Imus. I’m talking about production assistants and such. What about the Imus ranch for kids with cancer and other blood diseases? Imus may have done a bad thing but he’s also done a lot of good. He [...]

Do you feel that a 2 week suspension was fair given today to Imus?

Mele Kai asked: Don Imus has been relieved of his airtime for his inappropriate remarks. To me it’s well deserved. He’ll next probably have a tuff time booking guests, etc. That’s happened behind the scenes elsewhere. Due to hard work and allitle light shown it’s at an end.
He’s got seasoned chops and do you think [...]

What do you think of this whole Don Imus thing?

pooter asked: I agree with comments made by Cleveland radio host Mike Trivisonno about the whole ordeal – “I’ve probably said worse. If I make racial comments and you don’t like them, then turn the channel. If the advertisers don’t like them, then they shouldn’t advertise. That’s where the true freedom of [...]

I don’t like Imus getting fired but please don’t compare a man who interviews presidental candidates with a man who speaks on the wonders of marijuana. It’s not even funny. It is [...]

How is Imus more guilty of racism than Michael Irvin?

Is Don Imus really that stupid or is it just all a publicity stunt?

cave man asked: Seeing all that happened with Michael Richards a few months ago, it is really hard for me to believe that Imus could really be that stupid. Richards tirade came right before the release of the latest Seinfeld episodes. As a result, sales for those newly released episodes were at an all time [...]

Curm asked: I’m pretty sure that Chaney and his pals at Haliburton must have coached Don UImus about how to make ****** remarks. Oh, and Mitt Romney probably helped, too. What do you think?
