APRIL 11,
2007 --
Last Wednesday,
Don Imus directed an Imusism at the Rutgers women's basketball team,
finalists in the NCAA
women's Division I basketball tournament -- losing to Tennessee. Responding,
before the weekend, to immediate criticism, Imus seemed to take a "get
over it" attitude.
Demands that Imus be taken off the air
cascaded over the weekend, and, Monday morning, the I-man caved, in fact groveled
(like a true Republican) -- protesting that he is a good person who said a
bad thing.
What happened to the Imus we once
knew? Was he led to believe that this time he might be taken off the air?

For LPR, Imus is about
as "politically incorrect" as Bill Maher. LPR heard
media mainstreamer Tom Oliphant, speaking with Imus on air, April 9, express "solidarity
forever."
LPR rests its case -- although it expects Imus will lose his bite, except, of
course, concerning the vice president and Attorney General Gonzalez, Rush Limbaugh
and all the other usual "right-wing extremists."
BTW -- anyone demanding WFAN's Mike and the Mad Dog be censured for expressing
their apparent annoyance, last
Thursday, that Tiger Woods would likely win a fifth Masters? (Were they gleeful
this brilliant golfer didn't?) |
