Default Imus is Toast

During the day I was able to watch some of the meeting at Rutgers, the
wall-to-wall coverage on MSNBC, and the NBC evening news. 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.


VE3,

Must be a Slow News Year in Canada : Seeing that
you have to comment on Current Events in the USofA.

now go watch the snow melt ) ~ RHF
