1. Probably because Imus is as stupid as a brick. |
|
I don't know that Peter Jennings even acknowledged Imus' presence, ever.
I think Imus and the rest of the knuckledraggers thought he was a bit too sympathetic to Gore in 2000. Or that he called * "Mr. Bush" as opposed to "Mein Fuhrer" or whatever the fuck.
Or, it could have been that PJ was a Canadian--even though he became an American citizen a bit ago.

3. I watch Imus and have enjoyed parts for a lot of years. |
|
I think their feud goes way back prior to 2000, but never figured out or heard why.

5. I think it was fallout |
|
from Imus' Correspondent's Dinner speech in 1996, the one that pissed off nearly everyone in DC and made him a social leper in that town for a while. One of his jokes was a raunchy comment about Jennings' philanderings.
