Newspeople and papparatzi were as thick as flies at Rutgers, the New Jersey governor was there to show his support, the girls of the basketball team and school officials gave heart-rending accounts of hurt and support. The meeting of the girls and Imus was private Meanwhile, some of the advertisers on Imus show have cancelled, Sharpton is ramping up his boycott of advertisers, politicians who appear on Imus, and radio stations on the WFAN system. In the midwest, Jesse Jackson is mustering his troops and already has had a parade. The NOW ladies have entered the fray. Imus himself, beetled his eyebrows in a menacing way and said, "If I get fired, there will be consequences." There will be lawyers and lawsuits. Is the media drumming up public support to fire Imus? Since he will be presiding over a fund-raiser on thursday and friday, tomorrow may be the last time to see the regular Imus show. It will be worth watching. My guess is that his two-week suspension will include his resignation with agreed terms. Leno last night twisted the knife a bit saying, " Imus still doesn't get it. When he heard about his two-week suspension, he said "That's mighty white of them." " A man out of his time. Sharpton is a total idiot and no one, either black, white, green or blue should listen to him! BTW, watch the video, someone before the old man said something that started him going! Sharpton is the racist: the Tewanna Brawley affair, the Crown Heights killing of the Orthodox Jewish student by black thugs, the killings at the Freddie's Mart, people are calling for Imus' head, they should be calling for Sharpton's! This is so made up, Imus is an old man who has lousy ratings, but if he is to go, then let it be the audience and the ratings that kill him off. I have seen the team, and in my opinion, they do not need "counseling" for this, they need to move on in life and realize that there will be more things out there that are dangerous to them other than the rantings of an old talk show host. -- "What do you mean there's no movie?" |
