Imus Censured for violating 'double-standards' clause.

[Dr Mordrid]

Imus was just fired by CBS Radio, so now he's lost all his gigs.

Next stop Sirius

Now if only they could get the rappers to stop their crap

Well, score and big one one for the racial arsonist Al Sharpton. This country is going down the sh*tter faster than I thought.
Enjoy free speech while you can. You won't be able to say anything soon without it getting prior approval from the PC crowd... unless of course its something being said against whites or something said from a miniroty group.

I want to know where Al Shaprton's apology is to the Duke lacrosse team after he attacked them for the false rape case.

Too many people getting rich off of it.

Yeah, aren't they "White Devil Rapists"?

Sigh. I was largely ignoring this whole bit of non-news, but just caught a piece on Oprah about it and I feel like giving everyone involved a nice slap of reality. When you have the coach of the "nappy-headed" and Winfrey going on-and-on about surviving this ordeal just highlights how absolutely ludicrous it all is.

Imus is an arsehat and I could care less what happens to him, but there's no doubt that if was a bunch of white girls being called "pasty arse crackers" it would never have caused such a hoopla. Which is fine by me, but it makes me sick to see it being blown wholly out of proportion.

[Gurm]

Look, I'm in agreement with Jesster for the most part. Honestly? I've never listened to Imus, and I don't much care if he goes off the air.

On the other hand, his show DID generate lots of charity dollars, whereas Oprah's show generates... free cars for fat welfare moms. And Al Sharpton? Not sure WHAT he generates other than bile and enough axle grease to stand that hairdo up permanently.

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

They could just do away with AM radio completely for all I care. I can feel may brain start to shrink 10 seconds after switchings bands to that ocean of crap.

[rylan]

I heard someone make a good analogy to whats happening here.

If someone slaps you, do you give them the death penalty and put them in front of a firing squad?
Thats essentially what Sharpton and the media did to Imus, except in this case its a professional/career death penalty.

What really scares me is that Sharpton and gang is saying that they're just getting started. Wtf does that mean?

[Dr Mordrid]

Fallout;

Last night Imus met with the team. New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine was to mediate, but his SUV was driven off the road by another vehicle and crashed.

Hit & run

Gov. Corzine is in critical condition with multiple fractures; 12 ribs, his sternum & one collar bone (can you say "flail chest"?) and a double compound fracture of one femur (upper leg) which caused massive blood loss; he required 7 units of blood on arrival at the ER. He also has a large gash on his forehead and at the least a nasty concussion.

It's going to take at least 6 months just to get him into a walker if he survives. They think he will, but he's not a young man @ 60 years and that kind of leg injury is notorious for throwing clots even months later.

Might have done better if he'd been wearing a seat belt

I just realized that you're talking about Rush Limbaugh, the most irritating man ever, and not the Canadian prog-rock band Rush. My bad!

I do NOT, in fact, have tickets to see Rush Limbaugh.

It never occurred to me that you did.
I assumed you were making a pun.
