Imus --> Imusn't

But words can never harm me"

I'm completely disgusted with the press, the TV alleged news, and CBS for blowing up Don Imus' stupid comment way out of proportion. His job is to say rude things on the radio. You don't fire someone for doing his job.

Want to be that next week we'll see him announce he is going into rehab to deal with his alcohol/prescription drug problem?

I couldn't disagree with you more. It was NOT what Imus said. And it was not The People who got him fired. It was the gossipy news media who spread his words around way beyond his usual listening audience - in fact, way beyond any news that week.

I have listened to his program (I mentioned that in my first posting) and yes, he is rude and uncouth and pretty boring. But that's not hate.

WTF do I care about the basketball tournament? It has nothing to do with this issue.

They were deeply hurt. Boo hoo. People with class are not hurt by comments about them which are untrue. If I lobbed the same phrase at you, I'd expect you to laugh in my face, and get on with your life.
