1. He asked Bernard "How did your boy do at the correspondence dinner?

Bernie replied, "He tanked". "He wasn't the least bit funny". "I didn't get it." "President Bush didn't like it". "He could have been funny."

Obviously, Bernie was expecting, something very different than what he saw Saturday night, which does not surprise me in the least.

[rodeodance]

2. Drats! He gets coverage and Bernie says something stupid.

[rodeodance]

4. BTW-Thanks. so Bernie said he tanked--(Truth hurts! )

[leftchick]

3. Bernard = Freeper

I have no doubt he thought Colbert was one of his kind before Saturday night. :eyes:

5. Bernie gets it

He knows that it is a character that Colbert is playing. He has talked about it before, but he was truthful there wasn't a lot of laughs there...here on the other hand plenty.

[rodeodance]

6. yes, maybe that was all he was saying (did not get laughs)

[mark11727]

16. Bernie's been an asshole for the last twenty years (at least)...

...arguably the wort part of an increasingly bad show.

(Imus used to be funny in the seventies, but then took himself too freaking seriously.

And he's got no loyalty either. Just ask Mario Cuomo or Bill and Hillary Clinton).

22. Imus is "for hire". He'll say anything about anybody for a fee.

7. Jonathon Alter will be on soon. His wife works for Colbert

I think she is either a writer or producer of the Colbert Report. It will be interesting to hear his take on it, since he has an inside track and he is part of the press.

[rodeodance]

8. Thanks, I will tune in.

[rodeodance]

9. Imus now saying Colbert was so bad he had to leave the room.

[rodeodance]

10. said it Ok to diss the Pres but the material was not funny.

[rodeodance]

11. this 'discussion' went on a minute or two-with some of his staff agreeing

[mark11727]

15. Imus wasn't funny when he dissed Clinton, either...

...just sayin'.

BTW --- I missed the original airing of Colbert's piece, but thank Gawd for the internets.

He positively rocked, and now has a new viewer. :)

18. When you watch the video

you don't see Colbert leaving the room only waking back to his seat.. I am through with Imass and his crew making fun of Mayor Nagin and everything else they do... I don't watch it anymore... Just a bunch of dumb asses making fun of everybody but themselves....

12. Are we supposed to trust Imus...

the most unfunny man in show business...
as the supreme arbiter of what's funny ????

All he does well is whiiiiine.
It's tiresome.
Oh and his bald headed stooge is a friggin nazi.
Talk about not funny !!!!

[rodeodance]

13. Jonathan Alter on now but not talking of Colbert.

[rodeodance]

14. says something real different about Bush response to NO.--you are

on your own. All of sudden, the Fed gov. not responsible.

[Chiyo-chichi]

17. I used to watch bits of Imus occasionally

but stopped a few weeks ago when he told his little clown who was dressed up as Bill Clinton (is it Rob? Talk about "not funny.") to "go rape another fat chick."

19. They should remane the Imus show to 'Dead Man Talking'. n/t

[dancingme]

20. The show is anti gay and racist

They are laughing at Ray Nagen's speech pattern and at a stereotype gay character.

21. Imus is going to spend the next two years campaigning for

John McCain. I don't need to bolster his ratings by watching him glorify this bush suck-up, so I won't.
