bye and don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out

yesterday, i was minding my own bid-nez (as i am KNOWN for doing). i was at the half door having a beverage and talking to my friend cathy. another friend, jack walked in. without missing a beat HE asked ME how i felt about the craggy faced vitriolic asswipe. i was NOT going to discuss that subject in public. i felt so strongly and had nothing but contempt for the craggy faced one. well i just let loose. jack said he listened to the craggy faced one and didn't really think what he said was so outrageous. i then said to jack, ok fine but remember your daughter has skin that is one shade darker than yours. jack said what the hell does that mean. another patron spoke up and said, she (meaning me) means WHAT IF IMUS WAS TALKING ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER? jack shut up then

what imus said (this time) wasn't the MOST horrid thing he has said. it wasn't. i have heard him say worse (well read quotes of what he has said since i don't listen to him). he IS racist. he IS homophobic. he IS misogynistic. it WAS the RIGHT THING to do to get rid of him. he NEVER should have been on the air to begin with. it never should have gotten this far. when i read the list of who has been on his show it shocked me. as an example when chris dodd announced his bid for the presidency. person after person on that show. people with 'higher moral values' sat in one of his chairs. as soon as they get up to leave, the craggy faced one and his gang of evil hearts start in on their hate filled speech. i know now even people who claim some type of higher moral character (yeah, you too liebs) give it ALL up for the chance to have themselves heard by the masses.

bye

CBS Radio drops Imus

Effective immediately, CBS Radio has fired radio host Don Imus in the wake of the uproar following a racially charged comment he made on his show April 4th.
CBS Radio first suspended Imus for two weeks after calling the Rutger's women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on his radio program.
"Losing Imus will be a financial hit to CBS Radio, which also suffered when shock jock Howard Stern departed for satellite radio early last year. The program is worth about $15 million in annual revenue to CBS, which owns Imus' home radio station, WFAN-AM in New York, and manages Westwood One, the company that syndicates the show across the country," writes CBS News................

whew! shout out to msnbc

for getting rid of the craggy-faced asswipe

i'm also going to write letters to bigalow tea, proctor and gamble and staples for pulling their advertising. thanks to those three corps

MSNBC cancels simulcast of 'Imus in the Morning;' Obama first presidential candidate to call for radio host's firing

Josh Catone
MSNBC announced Wednesday that it will cease its simulcast of the 'Imus in the Morning' program.
NBC News President Steve Capus said in a statement, "Over the course of the last week many of you have reached out to me and expressed your strong viewpoints on the Don Imus situation. I've had countless conversations, e-mail exchanges and phone calls with people throughout this company. I've heard you loud and clear. Therefore, we are announcing tonight that MSNBC will no longer simulcast the Imus radio program."
Capus cited concerns over the "integrity" of the NBC News division as the main reason for dropping the simulcast.............

i wanted to link to this

because gwen ifill turns out to be THE 'cleaning lady'

(at first, i was simply thinking in terms of racism, the quotes the craggy faced one made. it's more than that. it's also misogyny and of course MORE)

LET’S say a word about the girls. The young women with the musical names. Kia and Epiphanny and Matee and Essence. Katie and Dee Dee and Rashidat and Myia and Brittany and Heather.
The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University had an improbable season, dropping four of their first seven games, yet ending up in the N.C.A.A. women’s basketball championship game. None of them were seniors. Five were freshmen.
In the end, they were stopped only by Tennessee’s Lady Vols, who clinched their seventh national championship by ending Rutgers’ Cinderella run last week, 59-46. That’s the kind of story we love, right? A bunch of teenagers from Newark, Cincinnati, Brooklyn and, yes, Ogden, Utah, defying expectations. It’s what explodes so many March Madness office pools.
But not, apparently, for the girls. For all their grit, hard work and courage, the Rutgers girls got branded “nappy-headed ho’s” — a shockingly concise sexual and racial insult, tossed out in a volley of male camaraderie by a group of amused, middle-aged white men.............

...........The sincerity seems forced and suspect because he’s done some version of this several times before.
I know, because he apparently did it to me. .............

.............“Isn’t The Times wonderful,” Mr. Nelson quoted Mr. Imus as saying on the radio. “It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House.” ............

THIS my dears SAYS IT ALL (and more)

Imus Gets McCain's Vote Of Confidence
John McCain Says Don Imus Deserves 'Redemption'

i wasn't going to write about THIS either

but i'm steaming. if it was anyone else, NO suspension, but a FULL TERMINATION.

the man has made racist remarks before. it's nothing new. they won't fire him because he brings them in BIG money (WHY? i have NO idea.)

this craggy ass makes me shiver and NOT in a good way. if i'm not mistaken, several none-too-good stories have turned up about his 'cancer ranch for kids' too. some very credible stories from former employees

i personally do NOT believe for one moment the man is sorry for what he said. he's sorry he got in trouble for it is what he's sorry for. people have said FAR more innocuous things on the air and gotten canned for it. keep that in mind
MSNBC, CBS Radio suspend Imus for two weeks

Josh Catone

MSNBC will suspend morning simulcasts of the Imus in the Morning radio program beginning Monday April 16, following a remark made by host Don Imus on the program last Wednesday that has been blasted as racist.
CBS Radio, which airs the program, will also suspend the disc jockey for two weeks.
On last Wednesday's program, Imus referred to the players of the Rutger's women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos."...............
