I'd like to hear Imus say what he said to these girls' fathers and see what reaction he gets. Do you honestly think they'd find it funny?

OOOOOOOOOO

The NYPost article is a very good one. And Byalip is right here, in every sense of the word. And so is DowntheStretch who has fought this one.

WHY get offended? My question is along the lines of WHY NOT, if I was the parent of one of these young women?

This man is screwed, and he knows it. Like ALL shock radio, and most talking heads, he's nothing beyond his own mouthpiece. Just like Stern, Limbaugh, et al.

When anyone feels they can only elevate themselves at the expense of others, sooner or later, they get their comeuppance. Imus has done this for sometime.

He's simply an old, doddering, man.

Nicely put, GRITS.

What's really sad is that the Imus Ranch is a terrific charity and the Imus Greening products, which I use, are also a good and important product.

Both will suffer because of this incident. That's what racism does and that's the unfortunate price....the innocent and good suffer.
