Imus under fire for the use of NAPPY HEADED HO'S
Imus and his collages are the most ignorant people on TV and the thing that surprises me is the network lets him get away with it. http://www.wnbc.com/news/11537229/detail.html?dl=mainclick

12. That nasty talk is exactly what they want from these morning "personalities".
Those in charge are most likely loving this story.

4. MSNBC is only one inch above Faux Noise
Just think of the crap they have on - Spitty Mouth Tweety; Bow Tie Baby Boy; Imus..

Without KO this network would be toast - he is the only reason I turn on MSNBC

And this Imus POS scumbag, dried up scrotum, diseased mind of a joke - tell me why do they have him on the air?

You would have to pay me a hell of a lot of money to listen to this joke for a human being, he actually turns my stomach

6. You can't get me to believe that his wife Deidre married him because she loves him she...

5. He and his buddies on that show are pure slime. They were vicious to Jill Carroll.
She is the Christian Science Monitor reporter that was held hostage in Iraq. They called her all sorts of names and said horrible things about her. It was disgusting. I won't watch those jerks and I am still trying to figure out why this loser even has a show on television.

10. I hadn't seen that one. I'm disgusted by the comments but not surprised.
That guy is a washed up, talentless hack surrounded by losers. Can't MSNBC do any better during the morning?

9. The ONLY reason he apologized was because his loud mouthed
trailer trash bimbo wife has a book coming out this week, and she probably threatened him within an inch of his shriveled up little dickie doo. He doesn't care one way or another what "the public" thinks about him, as long as he amuses his monied buddies, but I have seen Deirdra run him right into a corner whimpering and drooling. She is pretty frightening though, I have to admit.

11. Imus is so over....
MSNBC should just get rid of him and get somebody in there who doesn't manage to insult a hefty percentage of the population on a regular basis.
