1. Imus is a self infatuated ass.. . . . . . . eom

[DemExpat]

2. What 'dimension' are people living in who have this view????

Mind-boggling to me....

:silly:

DemEx

[stellanoir]

3. He calls Hillary Clinton "Satan" all the time too.

He's really become more unlistenable and intolerable than ever of late. I only tune in sporadically and briefly but I did catch him saying that he is a GE shareholder recently which explains a lot.

They never parody repubs (except for Falwell) either only dems (Nagin, Ted Kennedy, & the big dog.)

The only redeemable part of the show is when he interviews authors and certain politicians. The rest of it is mind rot. IMHO

12. sounds like just another hate-monger

It's mind-boggling how hate spewing and groundless attacks have almost completely taken over corporate media. No wonder half the adult US population is on anti-depressants!:silly:

[anniebelle]

4. He's the most disgusting mis-use of space on the planet!

In 2000, Anus said, "Al Gore's the most vile person in the world. The most corrupt politician EVER." I think all his years of substance abuse left him without any useful brain matter. He's not fit to wipe Al's butt. Gore/Feingold 2008!

5. Guy needs to look in a mirror. His inner ugliness goes clear through to

the outside.

[opihimoimoi]

6. The guy wears a phoney wig, has the nerve to point to others, and

is the biggest waste of time on the planet, calls Gore names??? Anus has gone from bad to worse.

[wellstone dem]

8. I don't think he's wearing a wig.

Unless sloppy grey is a new wig style.

[Jon8503]

7. The guy is worthless on all counts. He is a terrible interviewer which

is why he has to make up for his ineptness with comments such as he makes. He lacks intelligence to the highest degree, almost as much as the President.

One of these days he or his network may get hauled into court, hopefully.

[Deb]

9. I remember when the only time we

heard "And now a word from our sponsors" was during the commercials. It's so transparent, Imus should stay true to himself and interject his political conversations with horse manure ads. ugh

[Berry Cool]

10. You know, he's so quick to paint himself an expert on who is evil

and yet he seems not to recognize that he himself, with the exception of the work he does on his ranch for kids, is the very personification thereof.

His ONLY saving grace on this planet is his charity work. Otherwise, he's the sorriest excuse for a bag of protoplasm I've ever seen. Is there ever a time when he's not calling someone else evil, fat, gay, old, ugly--or evil, fat, old, gay AND ugly? (Note here: HE's the one who thinks "gay" is an insult--and routinely applies that adjective to straight people he happens to hate.)

The only good news is that we don't have to see him on MSNBC for the whole summer because his broadcasts there go on hiatus while he's at his ranch. Good riddance.

[rfranklin]

11. His charity work is a form of self-aggrandizement....

And his wife has her own little Amway scam going with her products which he promotes ceaselessly on company time.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

13. Imus gets consigned to the same slag heap as Chris Mathews

Unlistenable, unwatchable, unbearable. MSNBC can start splitting the 29% audiance with FOX.

[Supersedeas]

26. same here: Imus and Tweety are good bed fellows

[Ganja Ninja]

14. Imus wears a cowboy hat.

I'm gonna just leave it at that. :eyes:

[Donald Ian Rankin]

15. And we care why?

If he said "Al Gore is the phoniest bastard on the planet, for these reasons", I might, if I could be bothered, go through them and conclude either "he's made a mistake in this step here" or "Wow, Al Gore really *is* the phoniest bastard on the planet", but the simple fact that he chooses to call Al Gore names doesn't really mean anything.

[jarab]

16. Imus should analyze the likes of Bo Dietl .....

That time-consuming and exhaustive effort would leave him no opportunities to attack others.
...O...

[diamondsndust]

17. FUCK Imus....

I caught less than 2 minutes of his show one day. Had to turn it. This guy is a putz. Plus, his name is just 2 letters different than ANUS... that's MY name for him. Piece of shit!

[Julius Civitatus]

25. Fuck leatherface and his cadre of neo-nazis

Imus is a piece of shit, a dry drunk and recovering drug addicted piece of shit that thinks he can go around giving classes of morality.

There are sewer rats with more integrity than this piece of shit.

[saltpoint]

18. Don Imus is wrong.

[Deja Q]

19. What a nut. The mulletfrucker won't even go into specifics. What a sleaze.

Imus speaks only of himself.

[bdamomma]

20. It's truly disgusting

how they continue to smear truthful honest people.

[mbee]

21. Jealously that he will never possess the popularity that Gore

enjoys! I hate elitism, but I don't know how this guy got his own show because his behavior is not appealing at least in an intelligent way!

[bbernardini]

22. Is Imus bipolar, or does he just hate everybody?

Not to insult bipolar people, of course. If we were to apply his comments to Tipper, however, I wouldn't completely disagree. As a musician, her work with the PMRC goes against everything I stand for.

[spanone]

23. Funny, I was gonna call Imus the phoniest bastard on the planet!

And a horrid human being applies too. Fuck you Imus. Get a real job.

[HeeBGBz]

24. Fuck that withered old turnip with mAnn Coulter's dick

Why is that piece of shit still on the air?

[ladjf]

27. Imus apparently reserves ""a horrid human being." for the very

best we have. About two months ago he said the exact thing about President Carter. Imus's spoken opinions are no more than a product for sale to the highest bidder. He only says things in two modes:(1) he's selling something for some one or (2) he's attempting to be funny.(and failing) He's a pretty sad case and is being paid millions to spout his whory crap.

[sakabatou]

28. Imus just sucks

He's like Howard Stern, and sometimes worse

[bluefish]

29. Whatever Imus

I don't look or listen to your show, and I will tell everyone I know to ignore you too..

[texasleo]

30. Imus hates the iraq war, but he hates Bush critics even more

He hates Al Gore because he claims that Gore took money from the tobacco lobby after Gore's own sister had died from lung cancer.

[Bucky]

31. Q: Who does he NOT hate?

damn few

[texasleo]

32. he loves McCain and Biden

he hates Murtha.

[WiseButAngrySara]

33. He said the same thing about Kerry, right before the election; why I

never watch the creep, unless by pure accident!

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. That would perfectly describe **.

"the phoniest bastard on the planet" and "a horrid human being".

[warrens]

35. He says that about everyone

Does anyone actually listen to this guy anymore? The only time I hear about him is when Bernie uses another ethnic slur.
