Toda's Imus show (Tuesday) featured several guests who gave
testimonials about Imus' good works and a NBC piece that presented Al
Sharpton, who still thinks that Imus should be fired. MSNBC will be at
Rutgers at 11 am to cover the apology attempt there.
I got MSNBC several years ago to listen to the Imus show, which,
as a Canadian, I knew nothing about. I wanted to hear plain speaking
about issues of the day and not the carefully crafted set pieces of
the pr people. I thought Imus would be blunt and ask the awkward
questions.
Over the years, I got tired of the same old faces of a small in-
group of politicos and media people who all seemed to hang out around
72 street and lunch at Elaines. What is worse, I watched an irascible
old shock jock lash out at people who couldn't fight back. I am
thinking of regular attacks on Sid Rosenburg and Chris Carlin as well
as a young woman from MSNBC that he attacked in public and drove off
the show.
Hubris http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hubris is an exaggerated
self confidence that eventually brings about fatal retribution.
"Men think that by ill-treating others they make their own superiority
the greater."...Aristotle.
This whole uproar is over a racial slur made by a man affected by
hubris. Times have changed and this sort of thing is no longer
acceptable in US society, It is even illegal in Canada and Europe
and may trigger speech laws in the US.

It would almost seem that being intelligent is illegal in CanaDuh.

Like that guy who played the part of an Aircraft Engineer told James
Stewart in the movie,The Flight of the Phoenix.
