Dear Imus:
Quit groveling. Jesus H. Christ! It's getting sickening, especially when you went to grovel at the feet of that racist, anti-Semitic, bigoted, RWPP Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton. Has Al apologized for Tawana Brawley? No! Has Al paid the judgement levied against him when Steve Pagones sued for defamation of character and won the case? I don't think so. If it was ever paid someone else did it since Al claimed he didn't have any money.
And then there's the other racist, anti-Semitic, bigoted, RWPP Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson. Isn't is about time that he retire? Wait a minute. how can he retire? He doesn't have a job, but somehow he became a millionaire. MLK had a dream, Jesse had a scheme. Shaking down large corporations really works.
Jesse and Al are both calling for Imus' scalp. Imus, you're 66 years old and look like shit. Why are you still working? I know that you blew a lot of money up your nose in your younger days, but you've been clean for years. You got your ranch. Dontcha have a place in Connecticut and an apartment in New York? Do you still need to work? Why don't you tell the world to fuck off?
Yeah, what you said was stupid, but it doesn't require you to grovel at the feet of Al and Jesse. You are pitiful!
Speaking of Jesse, I just heard that all the charges against the Duke lacrosse players have been dropped. This was Jesse's Tawana Brawley moment. He inserted himself in this fiasco and it turns out that the "victim" made it all up. Go figger. I wonder if Jesse is still gonna provide a scholarship to the lying bitch? I think Nifong should be brought up on ethics charges. I wonder what party Nifong belongs to?
Imus, since Al and Jesse are both preachers why dontcha tell them to look up in the Bible and read the part where Jesus said, "Let him that is without sin, throw the first stone." They are every bit as bigoted as you are. Probably more so.
Quit groveling and STFU! It is disgusting to watch.
Posted by denny at April 11, 2007 05:04 PMI really hope that Imus sees this and follows all of your advice, to quit grovelling, retire and STFU!
Posted by: Jim on April 11, 2007 06:02 PMI just hope he shuts the hell up! I really could care less if he retires or not. I agree, quit groveling!
Posted by: Michele on April 11, 2007 06:22 PMGood God! Did you see the Rutgers team? How can Imus be in trouble for speaking the truth?
On a side note, I wish one of the reporters covering the Rutgers team press conference asked the captain, "What's on YOUR Ipod?"
Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on April 11, 2007 06:38 PMAh yes, the good ol' black double standard in the United States. If it would've been some black guy making a stereotypical comment about a white team, no one would've even blinked an eye.
Sharpton and Jackson are perfect examples of what keeps racism alive and strong.
And who really gives a flying fuck what some burnout says anyways? Isn't there more important things going on right now that the media should be focusing on? I don't know...
....like the global jihad maybe?
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 11, 2007 07:31 PM[It looks like my previous attempt to submit this failed; my apologies if this double-posts.]
Here I make what I hope is my one and only comment on this case:
Imus, you might as call these bastards out and go down with your teeth in their throats. No amount of groveling will make them accept your apology. You're already the bad guy, so you might as well have fun with it and fight to win.
Same with GWB v. Congress, same with Rep. v. Dems, same with the U.S. v. the U.N., same with Civilization v. the Jihadists. We can never be right in their eyes, so we might as well be wrong in our own best interests.
Posted by: ref on April 11, 2007 07:39 PMgreat rant. i like it when you pretend you're really grouchy. if i had your meds, i'd take one extra of everything that's in the cabinet until this whole freakshow blows over. stinking pile of reeking shit.
i heard from blight that "nappy" was a racist word over hotlantra way. over here, not so much. had i not known it was a bunch of black people complaining, i would never have assumed it a racist comment. a little rude maybe, but like stern never offended anybody gmafb!
dig my freakishly long comment! that just reminded me, did you see newt apologizing in spanish this past weekend? cause he said something about if you can't speak english you'll wind up stuck in the ghetto? nope, turns out THAT's racist against MEXICAN folk. who'd a thunk it? no other group freaked and newt did not apologize in ebonics or any other widely used american languages.
ahhh, the world is a colicky baby, boo freeking hoo. and your blodge hurts my feewings.
Posted by: shoe on April 11, 2007 07:53 PMI thought Imus was retired or dead before this whole thing erupted.
Posted by: Darrell on April 11, 2007 07:54 PMI can hardly defend what Imus said originally.
But I find it very interesting that Imus (Who has nappy hair) is under fire for the hair description.
Not for calling them "ho's", or whores.
Everybody's just fine and peachy with that.
Um. Excuse me?
Posted by: Unix-Jedi on April 11, 2007 08:16 PMI'm in agreement on this!
The Imus mistake was in the characterization of some very special athletes and high-scoring academics... people he never met & did not know.
Howard Cosell got fired for saying "Look at that little monkey run!!" I agree w/ Unix-Jedi that the larger issue should not be race, but calling decent folks whores for comedic effect.
I understand his Wife has cancelled her new-book tour because of all the brouhaha. I'd rather face the press than the bookwife scorned.

Posted by: eros total on April 11, 2007 08:47 PMCall me ignorant but I fail to see what was racist with his comment. Dropping the N-bomb is one thing but since when did "nappy headed ho" become a strict reference to black people? Anybody can be nappy headed and anybody can be a ho. If I recall there were more than just black women on that team. Even if it were meant racially whatever happened to the old adage "sticks and stones...?" Sounds more like a case of over sensitivity to me than anything.
Posted by: Lumpy on April 11, 2007 09:12 PMOMG! Something worse than Imus' comments: the House Special Rules Committee didn't pander to black people...gasp!

Imus thought he had enough liberal sanctimony offsets from bashing Bush/Cheney, supporting Kerry, and sucking up to the MSM types like Russert, Frank Rich, Moron Dowd that he could go grovel on Sharpton's radio program and be done with it.
Sorry dude -- you can be an ex-KKK kleagle if you are a Dem Senator like Robert Byrd, but this was just too good an opportunity to send a message to other radio /TV types. Toe the line or we'll take your ass out.
Posted by: capitano on April 11, 2007 10:15 PMI can't wait for another "Day Without a Mexican."
May 1st can't come quick enough!!!
Oh, I'm sorry...
...I guess if someone other than a White dude runs his mouth it won't make the papers. When the cracker runs his mouth it's Headline News!
My bad.

Posted by: Elisson on April 12, 2007 07:28 AMSomeone needs to remind the country about Sharpton referring to Korean grocers in Harlem as "a bunch of slant eyed gooks" just before the Tawana Brawley thing.
The first year they had MLK day as a holiday in DC and DJ named "Greaseman" said "hey, if we kill four more of them we can get the whole week off". They had to get the police to protect the whole building.
Posted by: Ric on April 12, 2007 11:11 AM"Let him that is without sin, throw the first stone."
Sheee-it..Al would bust him in the head with a gotdam brick..Al is without sin..just ask the sumbitch..he be walkin' on water
Posted by: GUYK on April 12, 2007 04:36 PMBuh bye imass.
Posted by: vetfromhell on April 12, 2007 05:22 PMOh I think we'll be hearing from Mr. Imus again, and right soon I'll bet. Nothing breeds fame like controversy! I'm thinking that Sirus will pick him up, or XM will take a chance and try to offer Ms. Stern some competition.
