What has happened to Imus???
I listened to him for 5 minutes this AM - haven't listened in a few months. And he was going on and on about how Byrd is an old fool and Boxer is a hypocrite. I was stunned - he drank the Kool-Aide. Andrea Mitchell then came on and even she was saying how sad it was that Colin Powell is so good and was so mistreated by the White House and Imus said that Powell would have gotten him mad, just like Bush got mad, by spilling his guts to Woodward. Mitchell pointed out that Bush spilled his guts to Woodward too.

I bet you Bush and Company pledged him a nice big fat check $$$$$$$ from oil money from Iraq for his ranch for sick kids. Because he is sure sounding like someone who has been bought and paid for.

1. Just turn him and the rest of the Corporate Media off!
For him to imply that Senator Robert C. Byrd is an "old fool" and Senator Barbara Box is "a hypocrite" is laughable.

Look in the mirror, Don!!

As for Mrs. Alan Greenspan, give me a break..

Just turn them all off, I have and I feel much better for it.

Why do you want to start your day off listening to BS?

4. Why does Imus hate America???
Imus must play the piano too; that is why he is in love with Condi!

I know, I don't listen anymore, but I just turned in for a minute and then got so mad! He IS the biggest hypocrite, isn't he??

5. the cheneys were on his program the day after the elections,i think it was
and he was questioning them about the wisdom of spending 40 mill on inauguration festivities when 40 mill could've been applied to other things in the middle of a "war" (i wish people would use the word OCCUPATION. IRAQ IS AN OCCUPATION IT IS NOT A WAR) ... but anyhow, lynn cheney said, "first let me thank you for ..." and i just went on and continued surfing for a channel i wanted ... but to EMBARRASS THEM SO DIRECTLY... WHEN THE BUSHIES ARE SO REVENGE DRIVE TO THE POINT OF TAKING LIVES ... WHO KNOWS WHETHER OR NOT HE HAS BEEN THREATENED BY THE BUSHIES FOR EMBARRASSING THE CHENEYS ...it is a possibility.

7. Don Imus is a dumb-ass
and an obnoxious jerk to boot. So, of course he's the guy that MSNBC would choose to present on TV each and every morning. Also no surprise that NBC would choose Rush Limbaugh fanatic Brian Williams as the new host of their evening news program. NBC owned by GE - one of the worlds largest defense contractors makes billions of dollars off of the blood spilled in conflicts all around the globe. They are evil incarnate. :evilfrown:

8. Don't worry their ratings are plummeting.
MSNBC's ratings are dropping faster than a stone in water. People have had enough of the right wing media and are bored with it. Unless MSNBC goes to the left, they will be replaced by cartoons.

9. Did Imus take money? Remember he said that someone from
the Bush Administration called him up to arrange something at the farm? Imus said, why are they calling me? Why don't they call my wife? Why haven't the Dems investigated this one further?

I always thought his endorsement of Kerry was hokey.

10. Enjoy Imus....
and watch it every morning as I am getting ready for work. You have to research some of what he says though.

11. Imus is a second-rate hack... I agree with Howard Stern on this one..
Utterly talentless...how he manages to hang on to a time slot is beyond me.

15. He is sounding like an old cynical grouchy old fart. Not much good
to say about anyone except Chris Matthews. Imus liked Matthews special with the marines.
